Then, we have the Disney Plus shows. Their purpose is to give more context to the MCU, and to introduce new heroes/villains. But they also enrich Disney’s coffers by keeping Disney Plus users subscribed. As a reminder, Disney doesn’t release an entire MCU season at once. Instead, you will need to tune in each week for the next episode.

Marvel: What Nova story will they tell?
Although there is no way to know, The Cosmic Circus speculates that Marvel’s Nova will not be an origin story, given Marvel’s interest in making it a Special Presentation. Marvel may want to feature Sam Alexander and Richard Rider.
Blog speculates that Marvel could draw inspiration from the 2013 Nova Run.
Sam could be searching for Jesse Alexander, his father and a Nova Corp member who is missing. Along the way, Sam meets Richard Rider, a decorated Nova Corp veteran who is also on the hunt for his father. He also has his Nova helmet. Sam eventually finds the Nova helmet and Richard gives Sam a mentor-trainee tale.
Following the climactic battle, the special can end with Richard letting Sam keep the helmet so he can uphold his father’s legacy. This would allow Sam and Richard to continue to live on Earth, with their new cosmic powers. Richard could then return to the cosmos as soon as possible until Marvel Studios needs them again. This special would also fast-track Marvel’s theme of introducing the next generation of heroes already established within the MCU while still keeping both heroes active for the time being.
However, this is speculation at the moment. Nova fans should rejoice to learn that the hero is close to making his official MCU debut.
