Mayweather vs. Pacquiao may have had all the charm of a Funyuns farting jag, but at least we have another fight of the century on the horizon with unquestionably better odds of delivering. If this tiny sliver of a chunklet of a morsel of a preview located on the cover of the latest issue of Empire is anything to go by, it’s going to b– *salivates over keyboard in an unprofessional manner*
Yup, we’ve got Captain America and Iron Man squaring off on the cover the British film mag giving a teensy idea of what’s to come from Marvel’s upcoming Captain America: Civil War. Depending on your perspective, either superhero could be seen as being on offence or defence. It’s sort of like that “is it a vase or is it two faces” thing but with mega powerful comic book characters that could kill us all if they’re not extremely careful. (Y’know, sorta like the tone of one of them Kramer vs Kramer magazine covers.) Robert Downey Jr. liked the front of the publication enough that he plunked it on his Facebook and Twitter accounts for the world to see.
Is there anything new we can unpack from the April 2016 cover of Empire? Not really, provided you’ve been keeping up with what this likely blockbuster has in store. Sometimes the only sensible thing to do is just gawk at an image of Iron Man and Captain America battling on the cover of a magazine and enjoy it. The Stark vs. Cap clash pictured at the top of the post isn’t the only image earmarked for the cover, mind you. A variant cover will greet Empire subscribers and that image hasn’t been unveiled just yet. Captain America: Civil War is due out in theaters on May 6.
