The Force works in mysterious ways, as the very first Marvel/Star Wars crossover has been revealed. Find out what to expect from Star Wars/Marvel: Hope Assembles.
Marvel and Star Wars are set to make history with their first-ever crossover, titled "Star Wars/Marvel: Hope Assembles." The five-issue limited series will unite the heroes and villains of both universes, written by Kevin Smith and illustrated by David Marquez. Smith, a noted superfan of both franchises, expressed his excitement about the opportunity to bring together the characters from the Star Wars movie series and Marvel's mainline Earth-616 continuity.
The crossover series is set to take place during the 50th anniversary of Episode IV, and will be part of Marvel's official canon. Smith said he is "ecstatic" to write this story for the 50th anniversary of Star Wars, and Lucasfilm Publishing's Michael Siglain praised the series as a "true love letter to Star Wars, to Marvel, and to comics in general." The first issue of "Star Wars/Marvel: Hope Assembles" will be released in January 2027.
