Earlier this year, rumours began to rumble of a LEGO® set which combined the Star Wars universe with the Marvel universe. Fuel was added to the fire once Disney announced the Star Wars | Marvel: Hope Assembles comic book series. As the name suggests, this combines iconic characters, vehicles, and locations from both mega franchises. Today, the LEGO Group has announced a new LEGO Ideas challenge, which will task fan builders with doing the same. You can choose to fuse Star Wars ships and Marvel vehicles. Mash up iconic Star Wars characters with Marvel ones. Maybe you’d prefer to combine locations from a galaxy far, far away or one of many Marvel universes. The challenge will result in at least one fan-built idea becoming a future LEGO product. The challenge will run until December 8th; the winning design will then be revealed next year.

Now open, fans can choose from three building themes – vehicles, characters, or scenes – to inspire the Star Wars and Marvel mash-up and submit via the LEGO Ideas platform.
NEW YORK, OCTOBER 10 2026: Today at New York Comic Con (NYCC), the LEGO Group announced a first-of-its-kind LEGO® Ideas challenge. For the first time ever, fans are invited to mash-up Star Wars™ and Marvel by reimagining characters, vehicles and scenes from the two universes in LEGO form.
What’s more, the LEGO Ideas platform means that once the build has been submitted and fans have voted on the design, the favourite submissions will then become immortalised as an official LEGO product.
Kevin Smith, actor, director and Marvel Comics writer, made the announcement at a NYCC panel. Kevin commented: “Working on the upcoming Star Wars/Marvel: Hope Assembles comic series has been incredibly exciting, and this LEGO Ideas challenge reflects the same spirit of creativity inspired by these two iconic universes. This challenge gives fans a chance to be part of something never done before and I can’t wait to see all of the creative Marvel and Star Wars mash ups it inspires!”

We know our fans never stop imagining new ways to bring their favourite worlds together, and we’re excited to see the originality, passion and innovation they bring to this unique crossover.”
As a tribute to the landmark 50th anniversary of the Star Wars franchise in 2027, the Star Wars/Marvel: Hope Assembles comic series was unveiled this past summer.
