Marvel TV Exec Confirms Nova Series in Development, Addresses MCU’s Cosmic Future

Nova is coming to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and more details are emerging about both the Disney+ series and the character itself. Created by writer Marv Wolfman and artist John Buscema, Nova debuted in The Man Called Nova #1 in September 1976. The teenage superhero was part of an intergalactic cosmic police force called the Nova Corps. The idea of Nova joining the MCU has been teased as far back as 2014’s Guardians of the Galaxy, which featured the Nova Corps in a prominent role, while 2018’s Avengers: Infinity War seemingly laid the groundwork for the origin story of the first Nova, Richard Rider, with Thanos destroying Xandar and the Nova Corps.
