Coinciding with the worldwide theatrical release of Marvelā€™s The Avengers, the summer issue of Disney twenty-three features a 10-page story on the creation of the biggest superhero film ever produced. Author and Disney Imagineer Jason Surrell spoke with the filmā€™s acclaimed writer-director Joss Whedon, as well as stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Tom Hiddleston and Clark Gregg, and producer Kevin Feige to get the behind-the-scenes details on the explosive film, from the complexities of bringing many of the worldā€™s most famous heroes together to nights out dancing in downtown Albuquerque.

Each of the magazineā€™s three front and back covers feature different characters:

Iron Man and Nick Fury on front; Hulk and Captain America on back
