There has been a major development on Marvel‘s ‘Nova‘ in the works for Disney+. Former Criminal Minds showrunner Ed Bernero has come on board as a writer and showrunner on the series project, which centers on Richard Rider aka Nova.

Bernero replaces Moon Knight scribe Sabir Pirzada, who was originally tapped as writer when the project was first put into development two and a half years ago.

At the time, it was unclear whether it would be developed as a feature film or a limited series; Nova has since taken a series direction.

Nova first appeared in an 1976 issue of Super Adventures was member of the intergalactic police force known as the Nova Corps, for which he gained superhuman abilities including enhanced strength, flight and resistance to injury.
