Through the 18 films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe so far, we’ve seen unprecedented superhero crossovers from Avengers Assemble to the all-out brawl of Captain America: Civil War. But the one threat that’s pulling every corner of the MCU together — even the space-bound Guardians of the Galaxy — is Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War. The Mad Titan is on his way to Earth to wreak havoc, forcing pretty much every powered hero out there to pitch in and group up in previously-unseen combinations.
In an exclusive Infinity War image from the May issue of Empire, on sale on Thursday 22 March, we can see one of those new team-ups: Iron Man and Bruce Banner joined by Doctor Strange and his faithful friend Wong, looking on at some smoky devastation in New York. Not only are the Science Bros™ back together, but it’s the first time the gigantic egos of Tony Stark and Stephen Strange have shared screentime.
The new issue — with six collectible covers — is a deep dive into the MCU. We’ve got the inside story of Infinity War with interviews, set visits and even more brand new images, a fresh peek at Ant-Man and the Wasp, and a free mini-magazine celebrating 10 years of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
