Marvel TV has run the gamut of genres during its time on Disney+. She-Hulk: Attorney at Law was a meta-comedy, Secret Invasion was a conspiracy thriller, WandaVision was a sitcom parody that doubled as a meditation on grief, and Loki was a time travel adventure. But streaming isn’t enough for the MCU anymore; according to the new showrunner of a long-gestating series, Marvel is now going to tackle one of the most enduring broadcast television genres too.
Back in 2022, Deadline reported that Marvel was developing a project centered on Richard Rider, aka Nova, with Moon Knight writer Sabir Pirzada attached. Details were murky — we didn’t even know if the result would be a series or a feature — and there weren’t many updates after that, suggesting the project may have been abandoned.
