Nick Romano / Entertainment Weekly:
For the very first time, the worlds of Star Wars and Marvel will collide with an official crossover event.
Titled Star Wars/Marvel: Hope Assembles, the five-part limited comic book series will launch in January 2027, Entertainment Weekly can exclusively reveal.
Figures like Chewbacca, Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, and Princess Leia will join Earth-616 — the primary continuity in which most stories of Marvel Comics take place —and mingle with the likes of Captain America, Black Widow, Spider-Man, and the Hulk. Meanwhile, Doctor Doom and the Marvel rogue’s gallery will join the likes of Darth Vader and the Galactic Empire.
This reads like a fever dream.
What’s the plot, you ask?
Hope Assembles will anchor the Star Wars franchise firmly in Marvel’s 616 universe as Earth’s Mightiest Heroes see the events of A New Hope unfold on Earth and before their very eyes after a reality-shattering spell, according to a logline.
I will say this: I’m surprised Disney waited this long to mash their action figures together. But ohhhhh boy does this sound like it could be not good.
I’m sure Patton Oswalt is in a state of excitement and dread at his improv becoming real.
