Disney Characters Become Marvel Superheroes in Newly Released Comics
Throughout 2024, the world of Marvel has had plenty of Disney crossover stories, with a series of What If...? one-shots bringing Mickey Mouse and his friends into the classic Marvel Comics world. Minnie Mouse stars in one of the upcoming What If...? stories, stealing the spotlight as she becomes Captain Marvel. Releasing in November, Marvel & Disney's What If...? Minnie Became Captain Marvel puts a unique twist on Carol Danvers' origin story, re-imagining it with Minnie Mouse in the lead role.
