Empire subscribers will receive an exclusive cover in their mailbox, featuring the villainous AI, Ultron (James Spader). The cover can be seen below.
The magazine features a behind-the-scenes look at the film, including an interview with director Joss Whedon, who seemed to be absorbing some of Ultron’s personality traits.
“I’ve been working on a lot of Ultron scenes,” Whedon told the magazine, “so I’m very anti-Avengers right now. You can’t write someone if you don’t love them and I’ve come to the conclusion that Ultron is right. The Avengers need to die.”
The issue hits stands in the UK on January 29.
Avengers: Age of Ultron opens in theaters May 1.
