MCU’s Nova TV Show Release Timeline Finally Revealed By Kevin Feige

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is getting closer to finally making the Nova TV show become a reality. The Multiverse Saga has been focusing on not just fleshing out recently added heroes to the franchise but also introducing a lot of new faces into the MCU. However, a classic Marvel superhero that many have been waiting to see in the MCU is Nova, with the first Guardians of the Galaxy laying the foundation for his eventual arrival.

In a new interview with ComicBook.com, Feige was asked if he could share any updates on the Nova TV show that has been in the works for quite some time. The Marvel Studios boss finally confirmed that not only will the live-action series focus on Richard Rider but also teased when audiences can expect for it to hit their screens. See what Feige shared below:

It’s happening, it’s coming together. Richard Rider, yep. A show, yeah, yeah. It’s three or four years out.

With a major hero like Nova coming into the MCU timeline, it would be a good idea to establish Richard in the franchise prior to his Disney+ show. Two shows that could work in Richard’s favor are showing up as a supporting player in either the Vision spinoff series or Wonder Man. Vision could have Paul Bettany’s titular character cross paths with Richard while he is on his road to self-discovery, while in Wonder Man, he could be someone Simon Williams discovers in the Hollywood satire.

In terms of MCU movies, it would actually make a lot of sense if Nova became a supporting character in Avengers 5 and Avengers: Secret Wars. That would already help Nova get him established as a superhero in the MCU while also building dynamics with some of the established heroes in the franchise. Once audiences have gotten to know Nova on a better level, it will be more organic to have him lead his own series.

Given Feige’s comment that the Nova TV show won’t happen until 3–4 years from now, it would make perfect sense for his solo series to take place after The Multiverse Saga. Since Avengers: Secret Wars is rumored to be leading into a soft reboot, having Nova premiere in Phase 7 would be more suitable as the franchise enters a new era. Hopefully, more details about the Nova series will emerge over the coming months, including who is involved with the creative team beyond the initially reported Sabir Pirzada, who previously worked on fellow Disney+ MCU title Moon Knight.
