Details on Marvel Studios' plans for Nova have been few and far between since we learned that a project focusing on the character was (finally) in development earlier this year.
When the news first broke, the trades mentioned that Nova would likely be a Disney+ series, and more recently, a rumor did the rounds which claimed that it'd actually be a Special Presentation akin to Werewolf by Night and the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special.
Now, insider MyTimeToShineHello is reporting that the cosmic hero's MCU debut will actually take the form of a movie.
The Nova Corps were introduced in Guardians of the Galaxy, which led to speculation that Richard Rider would eventually find his way into the GOTG franchise. James Gunn showed little interest in the character, but the Nova film - if that is indeed what it turns out to be - will most likely spin-out from Thanos decimating most of the Corps in the build-up to Avengers: Infinity War.
The source Tweets out a lot of scoops, and while some of them have proved to be accurate in the past, it's best not to put too much stock into this for the time being.
Last we heard, Moon Knight scribe Sabir Pirzada was penning the script.
