For subscribers, another separate cover was prepared in memory of the British actor Patrick Stewart, who passed away in late October at the age of 86. Artist Thomas Walker depicted him as Professor X gazing into space. In this way, the creator combined Stewart’s two iconic roles: Charles Xavier and Captain Jean-Luc Picard from “Star Trek”.

The January issue of Empire will go on sale on November 19. Around the same date, the final trailer for “Avengers: Doomsday” is also expected, although Marvel has not yet announced its exact premiere date. The film is scheduled to hit theaters on December 18, 2026.
