A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, the multiverse came calling. Because, the ultimate geek crossover is on the way. When Avengers: Infinity War<\/em> dropped in 2018, it was dubbed the \u201cmost ambitious crossover event of all time\u201d \u2013 and the same could perhaps be said for Star Wars | Marvel: Hope Assembles<\/em>, a comic book series in which the worlds of, you guessed it, Marvel and Star Wars<\/em> collides.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The five-issue season, which will launch to mark the 50th anniversary of Star Wars<\/em> in 2027, is being written by somebody who knows both of those worlds intimately: Kevin Smith. And art comes from Marvel regular David Marquez. Details on the story are scarce, but it\u2019s set in the Earth-616 universe, with a spell causing the events of A New Hope<\/em> to crash into reality \u2013 meaning the likes of Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Princess Leia, Chewbacca and Han Solo will be crossing paths with Captain America, Iron Man, Spider-Man, the X-Men, the Guardians Of The Galaxy, the Fantastic Four, and Black Panther. The covers were revealed by Entertainment Weekly<\/em>.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cBack in the early \u201880s, I had a subscription to Marvel\u2019s Star Wars<\/em> comics. And as fun as it was to follow the continuing adventures of Luke, Leia, and Han, I always wished that Spider-Man or Doctor Doom could cross over into their cinematic saga,\u201d Smith said in a statement, reported by EW<\/em>. \u201cSo when the opportunity arose to actually tell that story, nobody had to Force my hand! I\u2019m ecstatic to be writing Hope Assembles<\/em> for the 50th anniversary of Star Wars<\/em>! Many thanks to Marvel Comics and Lucasfilm for trusting me to fly the Falcon and<\/em> the Quinjet!\u201d<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The crossover is a significant partnership \u2013 though Marvel and Star Wars<\/em> have long existed in similar spheres, both owned by Disney, and with Marvel publishing many official Star Wars<\/em> comics. Still, the Force will hopefully be Infinity Stone-strong with this one \u2013 prepare for the issues to drop between January and May 2027.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, the multiverse came calling.
