Star Wars and Marvel will cross over for the first time in a new comic book series launching next year. Star Wars/Marvel: Hope Assembles, a five-part limited series, will debut in January 2027, Entertainment Weekly announced. The crossover will bring Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo and Chewbacca into Marvel’s Earth-616 universe, where they will encounter superheroes including Captain America, Black Widow, Spider-Man and the Hulk. Marvel villains, including Doctor Doom, will also cross paths with Darth Vader and the Galactic Empire. The story begins after a reality-shattering spell causes Marvel’s heroes to see the events of Star Wars: A New Hope unfold on Earth. The series will be written by filmmaker and longtime comic book writer Kevin Smith and illustrated by David Marquez. Its release will coincide with the 50th anniversary of the original Star Wars movie, which premiered in 1977. While the two franchises have never collaborated, they both operate under Disney. New issues will be released monthly, with the fifth and final installment arriving in May 2027.
