Empire - May 2019 Avengers Endgame covers

Dread it. Run from it. Destiny still arrives. And so does Empire’s new Avengers: Endgame issue, going all-in on the movie event of the decade – the film set to wrap up the epic story that started way back in Iron Man, and brought us to Infinity War. The issue hits newsstands on Thursday 21 March – and you can order online with the cover of your choice, Avengers – and here’s a peek inside.

Avengers: Endgame

Empire - May 2019 issue

22 films. Six original heroes. One big, purple baddie. And it’s all led to this. Empire talks to the directors and writers of Endgame, plus MCU head honcho Kevin Feige, to discuss Infinity War’s gut-wrenching climax, and how they’re going to top it all in Endgame.
