Marvel’s Nova Superhero Series Receives Major Update After 2.5 Years; Criminal Minds Showrunner Onboard

Marvel Studios Advances Nova Series Development

Marvel Studios is making notable progress in the development of its highly anticipated Nova series, approximately two years after the initial announcement of the project. The Nova Corps first appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) within The Guardians of the Galaxy, but suffered a devastating on-screen fate at the hands of Thanos, well before the storyline of Avengers: Infinity War. Despite the significance of the Nova Corps, MCU fans have yet to see Richard Rider, the iconic hero associated with Nova, grace any Marvel films or series throughout the past decade—until now.

New Showrunner Brings Fresh Vision

Recent reports from Deadline confirm that Ed Bernero, known for his work on Criminal Minds, has been appointed as the new head writer for the Nova series. This development marks a change from the previously attached writer, Sabir Pirzada, who worked on Moon Knight. While specific details regarding a release date, casting, and plot synopsis remain under wraps, it is anticipated that the series will not premiere before the commencement of Phase 7 of the MCU.

Looking Ahead

The introduction of the Nova series represents a pivotal moment for the MCU, allowing fans to explore a deeper narrative around the Nova Corps and the heroic journey of Richard Rider. As the Marvel universe continues to expand, this series could bridge connections with other cosmic storylines and characters, enriching the overall tapestry of the MCU. Stay tuned for further updates as the development progresses.
