11 Marvel Characters We Can't Wait To See In The MCU

11. Nova

Nova has been teased and rumoured for years, though he has never made an actual appearance in the MCU. Fans have been desperate for this obvious character to make an appearance. Sadly, we're still waiting. We met the Nova Corps in Guardians of the Galaxy, so it just feels wrong that we haven't seen Nova himself.

Richard Rider is the original Nova in the comics. Richard was an Earth kid who was hit by the Nova force after being chosen to replace the last member of the Nova Corps, who was dying.

Richard went on to live a double life between his time on Earth and in space. Throughout his adventures, he becomes part of well-known teams like the New Warriors and many more. While Richard might be the original and best known Nova, it doesn't feel like he would be the one to appear in the MCU.

Samuel Alexander is the latest Nova who finds his powers and goes on to join the Champions. This team consists of characters like Kamala Khan, Amadeus Cho's Hulk, Viv Vision (Vision's daughter) and a young, time-displaced Cyclops. With Kamala, the X-Men and a casting rumour for Amadeus Cho on the horizon, it seems that Champions could be easily set up in the near future, which should (fingers crossed) mean Nova too.
