Marvel’s greatest Cosmic hero is finally headed to the big screen…maybe.
Following reports that Marvel Television’s Nova was taking flight under veteran MCU scribe Michael Waldron, Deadline has confirmed his involvement while revealing that the project is once again being developed as a feature film which he may direct should the studio choose to put the film on its slate.
The path of the Human Rocket to this theatrical announcement has been incredibly turbulent. Marvel Studios originally began mapping out Nova as a localized Disney+ streaming series all the way back in 2022 with Moon Knight scribe Sabir Pirzada, later cycling through veteran showrunner Ed Bernero before completely shelving the TV format in 2025 as part of Disney’s broader streaming spending cuts.
For years, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has publicly noted that a Nova project was “three or four years out,” but core comic book purists have voiced intense anxiety over whether a television budget could properly do justice to the such a key Cosmic character. Now, if Waldron‘s project should move down the pipeline into production–the trade report stresses its development is in its earliest stages–Rider will get his opportunity to shine on the biggest stage.
