Captain Marvel’s new comic series will launch in May 2027, giving Carol Danvers another major adventure in the Marvel Universe. Marvel Comics announced the upcoming series at New York Comic Con 2026. Editor-in-Chief Stephen Wacker revealed the new creative team and shared details about the next chapter of Carol’s story.
Captain Marvel #1 will feature writer G. Willow Wilson, known for her work on Ms. Marvel and Black Cat. Acclaimed artist Rachael Stott will join her, bringing experience from projects such as Fantastic Four. The new ongoing series will also spin out of the upcoming Avengers comic-book run by Chip Zdarsky and Marco Checchetto. However, Carol’s next adventure will not be an easy one. The catastrophic events of Avengers: Armageddon will leave Captain Marvel facing a difficult challenge. It will force her to question everything she believes about being a superhero.
Captain Marvel’s New Comic Series Introduces a Mysterious Threat
The upcoming Captain Marvel series will begin after the events of Avengers: Armageddon. Following the crossover’s devastating consequences, Carol Danvers will find herself grounded like never before. To rise again, she must push beyond her previous limits, break the rules, and reconsider what it means to carry the Captain Marvel mantle.
Meanwhile, a mysterious threat that has quietly assembled in the shadows of the Marvel Universe for decades is finally preparing to strike. Marvel has yet to reveal the identity of this long-developing enemy or explain how it will challenge Carol. This mystery could become a central part of the new series as Wilson and Stott begin a fresh chapter for the iconic superhero.

Artist Rachael Stott expressed her excitement about working with Wilson and illustrating one of her favorite Marvel characters. Stott shared her enthusiasm for the project, saying:
“So unbelievably thrilled to not only be working with one of my favorite writers, the amazing G. Willow Wilson, but also one of my absolute favorite characters. At times like these, as an artist you really have to pinch yourself, and assume that in a previous life you saved a bus load of orphans from an escaped tiger to get so lucky. Can’t wait to help bring this exciting new chapter of Carol’s story to life!”
Her involvement brings an experienced Marvel artist to the project, while Wilson’s return offers an opportunity to explore Carol’s character through a new ongoing storyline.

I can’t wait to get started and for fans to see what we have in store for Carol and all her friends. So chin up, put your boots on. We’re going back up!”
Wilson’s return could make the series especially appealing to readers familiar with her previous Marvel work. With Stott handling the artwork, the creative team aims to take Carol into a new phase of her superhero journey.
