Nova was featured in early Guardians of the Galaxy drafts.
Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has revealed that Richard Rider, the original version of the cosmic hero, was initially planned as a co-star to Chris Pratt's Star-Lord.
"There were some thoughts to it, yes, back in early drafts in the early development stage," he told Screen Crush.
"But, there was a fork in the road that we came to at one point in the development process where we decided to eliminate Nova and go full-on with Peter Quill's story."
The film draws heavily from Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning's run on Guardians of the Galaxy, Nova and their associated cosmic titles.
Their storyline ended with the apparent death of Nova and Star-Lord. While the latter returned mysteriously, Marvel Comics will shortly reveal what happened to the two characters.
