Empire’s ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ Covers Bring the Multiverse Together
‘Avengers: Doomsday’ is just 5 weeks away, and Marvel’s promotional campaign is speeding up. The Russo brothers’ crossover opens on December 18, and the film will kick off the end of the Multiverse Saga before ‘Avengers: Secret Wars’ arrives on December 17, 2027.
One of the film’s best-known magazines has now joined the push. UK film magazine Empire had been teasing a big ‘Doomsday’ feature ahead of its reveal on November 12, a little over a month before the film opens.
Now the full look is out. Empire has revealed 4 collectible covers for its world-exclusive ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ issue, which includes a 22-page deep dive with Marvel boss Kevin Feige, directors Joe and Anthony Russo, Robert Downey Jr. and many of the film’s heroes. The covers proclaim “Marvel’s biggest movie is here!” and tease “One villain. An army of heroes. Let’s go…”
Each cover brings together heroes from across the franchise. Cyclops leads the first one, alongside Captain America, Magneto and Shuri as Black Panther. It’s also the best look so far at James Marsden’s comic-accurate Cyclops costume.

The second cover features Steve Rogers, who is back in the fight. He’s joined by Loki, Sue Storm, Gambit and Shang-Chi. The third cover puts Thor at the center, holding his hammer and ready for battle. Pedro Pascal’s Reed Richards stands next to him, along with Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova and Sebastian Stan’s Bucky Barnes.

The fourth cover goes to the villain. Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom gets a cover all to himself. Together, the covers highlight how unusual this team-up is. 3 of them form a triptych of returning heroes lined up against Doom. That framing shows how ‘Doomsday’ brings together characters who were once spread across different studios.
The cast pulls from nearly every corner of the franchise. Alongside the Avengers are Fox-era X-Men stars like Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen, plus the new Fantastic Four led by Pedro Pascal and Vanessa Kirby.

The feature focuses on the scale of the film. Feige and the Russos discuss the huge task of closing out the Multiverse Saga and going even bigger than ‘Endgame.’ Some details have already come out. In an interview with Empire, the Russos said Chris Evans’ presence in ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ will be a key pillar of the story.
The issue also covers other films. Empire looks at Robert Eggers’ new horror film ‘Werwulf,’ the Oscar-tipped drama ‘Elsinore’ and the cult classic ‘Little Shop of Horrors,’ including a new interview with the rarely interviewed Rick Moranis.

The issue goes on sale on November 19, giving fans a week to decide which cover they want. Collectors who want all 4 can pre-order through Empire’s online store. The covers are the latest stage of a promotional campaign that’s already breaking records. With presales booming and new reveals arriving every week, ‘Doomsday’ is clearly one of the most anticipated films of the year.
