The Galaxy Far, Far Away comes to the World Outside Your Window! Following a reality-shattering spell, Marvel’s heroes witness the events of A New Hope unfold before their very eyes—setting the stage for an encounter between characters from both universes that fans have dreamt about for decades.
Star Wars/Marvel: Hope Assembles will launch in January 2027.
