Star Wars Avengers Crossover Comic Rumored as Marvel Event Project

A rumored crossover comic bringing together Star Wars and Marvel’s Avengers is generating significant attention across the comics industry, following a report by Star Wars News Net.

While unconfirmed, the project is said to be in early development and would represent one of the most high-profile cross-franchise collaborations ever attempted in comics publishing.

Industry chatter suggests Marvel Comics may be exploring a limited-series crossover that pairs characters from the Star Wars universe with Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.

Writer Mark Millar, known for major Marvel events such as Civil War and The Ultimates, has been linked to the project by multiple comics news outlets. No creative team or publication timeline has been officially announced.

• Marvel Comics rumored to explore Star Wars–Avengers crossover
• Lucasfilm and Marvel could unite franchises under Disney
• Mark Millar linked to early talks on non-canon crossover event

Sources familiar with the matter indicate the crossover would likely exist outside the main canon of both franchises. This approach would allow creative freedom without affecting ongoing Star Wars storytelling or Marvel continuity. Such non-canonical projects are common for large crossover events, particularly when multiple fan bases are involved.

Disney’s ownership of both Lucasfilm and Marvel makes the project feasible from a rights perspective. Since acquiring Lucasfilm in 2012, Disney has steadily expanded Star Wars publishing through Marvel Comics, which currently holds the license for Star Wars comic titles. Despite years of fan speculation, the two universes have never officially crossed over in print.

Recent Marvel publishing strategies suggest increased openness to experimental and nostalgia-driven projects. High-profile crossovers with external franchises have performed strongly, encouraging speculation that a Star Wars–Avengers event could be positioned as a special release rather than a long-running series.

The rumor gained additional traction after social media posts by prominent comics creators hinted at a major announcement ahead of the upcoming ComicsPRO industry event, a traditional platform for revealing new publishing initiatives.
