Marvel Studios’ year-end blockbuster "Avengers: Doomsday" is set to conquer theaters worldwide next month, and its massive ensemble cast has now assembled for the latest issue of British film magazine Empire. With so many characters in the mix, the magazine has unveiled four collectible covers, recapturing the spectacle of its "Avengers: Infinity War" lineup eight years ago.

The new covers reshuffle members of the X-Men, Fantastic Four, Avengers and New Avengers into three different lineups. The movie’s big bad, Doctor Doom, gets the star treatment with an entire cover to himself.
"Avengers: Doomsday" brings the Russo brothers back to the director’s chair, with Stephen McFeely — who worked on the second and third "Captain America" films and the third and fourth "Avengers" movies — serving as lead screenwriter. "Loki" Season 1 writer Michael Waldron, MCU "Spider-Man" writing duo Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers, and "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" director Destin Daniel Cretton are also listed among the movie’s additional writers. The film opens in U.S. theaters Dec. 18.
