Marvel Studios Developing NOVA Adaptation from Moon Knight Scribe; Likely to Be a Limited Series

Richard Rider aka Nova looks to be joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe as sources tell Deadline that Marvel is developing a Nova project with Moon Knight scribe Sabir Pirzada on board to write.

It is unknown for now whether this will be developed as a feature film or a limited series for Disney+. As always, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige will produce.

Nova first appeared in an 1976 issue of Super Adventures was member of the intergalactic police force known as the Nova Corps, for which he gained superhuman abilities including enhanced strength, flight and resistance to injury.

While the character didn’t have many run-ins with some of the main figures of the current or past MCU, he did have some battles with the Skrulls, who have big parts in recent and upcoming Marvel projects including Captain Marvel and the limited series Secret Invasion.

As for Pirzada, like so many scribes who land a high-profile Marvel project to develop, he came up through the studio’s writer community, most recently helping in the writers room for Moon Knight series that premieres on March 30 on Disney+.

There has been a major development on Marvel's Nova in the works for Disney+. Former Criminal Minds showrunner Ed Bernero has come on board as a writer and showrunner on the series project, which centers on Richard Rider aka Nova.

Bernero replaces Moon Knight scribe Sabir Pirzada, who was originally tapped as a writer when the project was first put into development two and a half years ago. At the time, it was unclear whether it would be developed as a feature film or a limited series; Nova has since taken a series direction.

Nova first appeared in an 1976 issue of Super Adventures was member of the intergalactic police force known as the Nova Corps, for which he gained superhuman abilities including enhanced strength, flight and resistance to injury. While the character didn’t have many run-ins with some of the main figures of the current or past MCU, he did have some battles with the Skrulls, who have big parts in recent and upcoming Marvel projects including Captain Marvel and the limited series Secret Invasion.

Bernero served as executive producer and showrunner of CBS’ drama series Criminal Minds and also co-created and executive produced Criminal Minds spinoff Suspect Behavior which aired for one season on CBS. Prior to Criminal Minds, he co-created and executive produced NBC’s Third Watch. He also created and executive produced crime drama series Crossing Lines.

Nova is another character (IMHO) who as an appealing aesthetic for young kids (nothing wrong with that) and not a very complicated character to build a franchise around.
At best this could be a better version (quality-wise) of Boba Fett - where Nova roams the universe talking to his helmet. GGI might be a bitch for this one.

edit: an they should either tone down the costume to OG Nova levels, or go full on Power Ranger with it. Current version is pretty corny, but I'm a grown ass man so this probably isn't meant for me.
