Loki and Avengers: Doomsday writer Michael Waldron is reportedly sticking around in the MCU for an upcoming Nova movie.
As per Deadline, a Nova movie will be written – and potentially directed – by Waldron, who has written or co-written Loki, Avengers: Doomsday, and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness for Marvel Studios.
In the comics, spacebound character Richard Rider is brought into the Nova Corps, complete with powers of flight and access to the all-powerful Nova Force.
There had been previous attempts to get a Nova project off the ground at Marvel Studios, with one prevailing rumor being that Ryan Gosling was approached about starring as the character. The actor, who led his own cosmic adventure earlier this year in Project Hail Mary, shot down the rumors in 2022 during an interview on Happy Sad Confused, instead going all-in on wanting to play Ghost Rider.
News of a Nova movie also means Marvel's post-Avengers: Doomsday plans are starting to take shape. There is Avengers: Secret Wars in 2027, an X-Men movie in the near future and now, potentially, Nova taking flight in the MCU. There are currently three 2028 slots in May, July, and December being held for 'Untitled Marvel Movies'. Could Nova be one of them?
Before then, the MCU is swinging back into cinemas with Spider-Man: Brand New Day on July 31 and Avengers: Doomsday, which stars Robert Downey Jr. as supervillain Doctor Doom, on December 18.
