Best described as a space cop imbued with flight, strength, durability and energy projection, Nova has been a premiere player in the cosmic sector of Marvel Comics, having taken part in some of their most notable events, both of whom would be good picks for the live-action version.
Though the Nova Corps have already been established, the MCU has yet to introduce the singular character of Nova.
Nova’s inclusion in the MCU is a matter of when, not if, and there’s a number of directions Marvel and James Gunn could take with the character.
This name should be more than familiar to Marvel fans by now.
