Marvel Taps 'Loki' Creator for Nova Film

Marvel Studios is developing a feature film centered on the comic character Nova, with Michael Waldron attached to write the script. Waldron, who has strong ties to Marvel through his work on "Loki" and "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness," may also direct the project. This film development follows an earlier attempt by Marvel to create a Nova TV series, which was ultimately shelved in 2025.

Nova, first appearing in a 1976 issue of Super Adventures, is a member of the intergalactic Nova Corps, granting him powers such as enhanced strength and flight. While not a primary MCU figure, Nova has had confrontations with the Skrulls, a species featured in recent and upcoming Marvel projects. Waldron's extensive work with Marvel and Disney, including his role as showrunner for "Loki" and co-writer for "Avengers: Doomsday," makes him a fitting choice for this cosmic venture.
