D23 gold members and Avengers fans have a lot to look forward to in the upcoming Disney twenty-three Magazine summer edition. To celebrate the premiere of The Avengers, which debuts in theaters on May 4, the magazine will offer three different Avengers-themed collectible covers.
Fans will receive one of three different collectible covers featuring the stars of The Avengers on both the front and back covers. In addition, the magazine will feature a very special ten-page article on The Avengers, in which Disney Imagineer and author Jason Surrell will interview Avengers writer-director Joss Whedon, producer Kevin Feige, and stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Tom Hiddleston and Clark Gregg about behind-the-scenes details of the films, the challenges of bringing so many famous heroes together in one film, and stories about filming the eagerly anticipated movie. Each D23 gold member will also receive one of seven collectible patches featuring the insignia of an Avengers superhero with their magazine.
