For a long time there is a Marvel rumor that places Nova as one of the great characters of the coming years in the UCM, now it seems that they are already developing a movie or series.
This week has been very intense in the offices of the film studio, as they could be preparing a lot of new content. The most intense Marvel rumor is that of the adaptation of Nova, a powerful hero who is at the top of the list that will make the jump to a movie or series on the Disney + streaming platform.
The Nova Corps was a big part of the 2014 Guardians of the Galaxy movie, but the concept that someone like Nova existed was never mentioned. Also director James Gunn doesn’t seem to be too interested in the character. However, the writers for Avengers: Infinity War have confirmed that there was once a rough draft of that movie where Nova crashed into Earth instead of the Hulk. That would make sense, since Xandar, the planet of the Nova Corp, was the first to attack Thanos. Something we couldn’t see on screen.
With Xandar and the Nova Corps decimated by Thanos, now seems like a good time for Richard Rider to adapt. This could easily be a Phase 5 movie. Regardless of when this Marvel rumor becomes official, it’s hard not to get excited about what this means for the future of the Cinematic Universe. Also… Could it be featured in Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 3 or Thor: Love and Thunder? In time we will see.
