Michael Waldron to Pen Nova Movie That Confronts Thanos' Decimation

The film would force Marvel Studios to explain what happened to the Nova Corps and could realign the MCU's cosmic storylines.

Overview

  • Michael Waldron confirmed in interviews this week that he is writing a Nova feature for Marvel Studios and said the movie would have to reckon with Thanos wiping out the Nova Corps.
  • The project was moved from an earlier, reportedly shelved Disney+ series into a feature film, with Waldron brought on to rework the property for the big screen.
  • Core creative elements such as the lead Nova character, the film's villain, and a release window remain unannounced and should be treated as unconfirmed.
  • Waldron's prior Marvel credits include serving as Loki showrunner and writing Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which signals Marvel is tying Nova into its wider cosmic plans.
  • Expect the film to decide whether to start on Earth with a character like Richard Rider or Sam Alexander or to open inside the Nova Corps, and watch for how it resolves the off‑screen Power Stone storyline from Infinity War.
