MCU fans who sat through Marvel Studios' SDCC 2026 Hall H show looking for a Nova title card left empty-handed. The confirmation came afterward: Kevin Feige said the project is a movie, and he said almost nothing else.
What Feige said after Hall H
Disney's own Comic-Con recap packages the Hall H night around Avengers: Doomsday, a new Ghost Rider film for 2028 starring Ryan Gosling and directed by Shawn Levy, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, and Black Panther 3 with a hard theatrical date of December 15, 2028. Nova is not listed as a stage unveiling, which matches how the news actually broke: off the main stage, after the panel.
In a post-panel interview at San Diego Comic-Con, Feige was asked whether a Nova movie was happening. A publicist on hand joked that Marvel had said "not a damn thing" about it. Feige kept the joke and locked the format:
Not a damn thing, but it's a movie.
That line is the useful status upgrade. Marvel Studios is treating Nova as a theatrical feature in development, not a vague cosmic rumor and not the shelved Disney+ series track fans heard about in earlier years. If you only needed one binary answer, that is it.
