One of the executives responsible for bringing to life the upcoming X-Men: ’97 is bringing more joyous news to Marvel fans.After years and years of teases and rumors, Brad Winderbaum dropped a mega bombshell concerning a Nova project.
Speaking to Comicbook.com promoting X-Men: ’97, the exec says something is brewing with Nova at Marvel, revealing: “We love Nova. We are in really early development on Nova… I love Nova, too. I love Rich Rider, too. I hope it gets to the screen.”
“The world is always chaos. There’s always things. You gotta conjure these things to make them happen, but I would love to see a Nova show one day.”
With Marvel Studios in a constant state of flux during recent months, Winderbaum speaks to the recent shake-ups. The executive states, “We have a new system behind the scenes at Marvel Studios. We’re more like a traditional studio now. We’re developing more than we actually will produce. In all honesty, there was a mandate to create as much as we could for Disney+ as quickly as we could, and then there was a shift.”
“Then, all of a sudden, we had to start spreading our release dates out,” he continues. “So, that really accounts for a lot of the delays. Now, we’re using that time, so [projects] stay in the oven; they can bake certain things a little more. It’s only going to make things better.”
