Nova has been in the works for a little while now, and Marvel’s head of streaming has shed some light on what to expect from the series.
A good number of you probably haven’t heard of Nova before, even if he’s a relatively popular character in the comics, though you’ll likely recognise his look. The Nova Corps actually made an appearance in the original Guardians of the Galaxy, 10 whole years ago now, though while the film established the group, it hadn’t set up Nova the superhero just yet. Back in July Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige confirmed that a Nova show is in active development, even if it’s still three or four years away, and now speaking to Phase Zero’s Brandon Davis, Marvel’s head of streaming, television, and animation Brad Winderbaum shared a little bit more about the series.
“Nova is in development right now, but we are developing more than we make. This is the new Marvel,” seemingly a reference to Marvel’s continued attempt at slowing down its output. “We should talk about this. At Marvel, everything has a spotlight on it. We love Nova, we want to get it right.” He went on to explain that both it and a few other things are in development, but Marvel isn’t “going to go on a show until we’re happy with the pilot, happy with the bible.”
