Did you know that the front page of CBR can occasionally be useful? Yeah, I'm just as shocked as you are. https://www.cbr.com/nova-marvel-cine...knight-writer/ No mention of Sam which is weird for a CBR article.

Nova is coming.
"The Marvel EIC Chair has a certain curse that goes along with it: it tends to drive people insane, and ultimately, out of the business altogether. It is the notorious last stop for many staffers, as once you've sat in The Big Chair, your pariah status is usually locked in." Christopher Priest

After more a Cosmic build up, while Nova was the Star the bringing together of so Many Cosmic characters is what had it so big.

Possibly, but I’d like to think that Marvel is smart enough to realize it doesn’t need to be a choice between the two. The nature of the Nova mythos lends itself pretty well to there being multiple characters who have the name, I see no reason why they’d merge Richard and Sam when they both can exist simultaneously.

Or worse, just pretending one of them isn’t relevant to the mythos and has no place in live action.

The Nova Corps are like Marvel's answer to the Green Lanterns. Which was likely not Marv Wolfman's original intent.
If anything Kyle Ranier is sort of a Rich Ryder rip off as he also was the last hero of a dead order and was picked totally at random ( tho Kyle's origin is unintentionally funnier as the last Guardian practically tosses a GL ring at Kyle then says "You'll just have to do" then runs away without explaining anything
).
But the pre annihilation in the comics means that there can be more than one Nova. There's room for Rich, Sam and Sam's Dad or whoever.
It just occurred to me that in the MCU Thanos must have wiped out or nearly wiped out the Nova Corps to get hold of the Infinity Gem they were guarding.
So this project might hew pretty close to the original series premise.

As much as I like Rich, I'm still surprised that there's been such a big push for him.
Prior to Fabian, Rich had little internal conflict, not much there there, IMO

I hope this means we'll get some of the original supporting characters, like the Comet, and the Sphinx as a villain.
I'm also totally ok if they feature only one Nova. Either pick Richard or Sam, but let's not turn this into yet another mantle passing/sharing cliche in the MCU.“True peace is not merely the absence of tension; it is the presence of justice.”

It's been an itch I can't scratch. I figure Fiege and co. wanted to wait until the GotG trilogy was wrapped before doing a character as similar as Nova, but it's been a long gods damn wait, and probably a few years yet before we actually see it."We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us.

Fortunately the MCU movies are no longer solo affairs so including Sam makes more business sense than excluding him.
You’re short changing the green lanterns a bit where they create elaborate imaginative constructs while Kamala seems to create bright ddefensive unimaginative constructs. Originally Posted by Anthony W
