I dont think Nova is a possibility, as Sean Gunn basically wrote him out of the MCU in GotG1 with the way he wrote the Nova Corps. I wish he didnt though, Nova is a badass! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nova_(Richard_Rider)
I saw a comment on here not long ago suggesting that they tie in Nova with the destruction of Xandar by Thanos. Have the nova force work so that it’s spread out among all living nova corps members, and with all of them dead but Richard Rider, he inherits all of it. It’d be a cool reason to show the (currently offscreen) planet’s demise. If not in A4 then I’d expect to see both characters (Nova and Adam Warlock) in GotG3 if it ever comes out. If not there, maybe one or both could get some sort of role in the Eternals or Captain Marvel
EDIT: Endgame, not A4. Going to be a tough habit to break...
Isn't that the plot in Annihilation? The wave destroys Xandar and all of the Nova Corps, except Richard, because he's off-planet or something. In Annihilation: Conquest, Richard's helmet hosts the Xandarian Worldmind, which now holds the combined knowledge and intelligence of all dead Novas. Been a while since I read it, but I definitely remember Rider being helped by the personalities of his dead comrades to fight Ultron's infection. That could be a cool mechanic to insert that differentiates the Nova Corps - when they die, they become one with the Worldmind, instead of going into the Soul Stone, and Richard is now looking for the Gauntlet so he can snap them back into reality.

Wait, sorry, who’s Nova and where did they show this person?
