Marvel teamed with ESPN to craft fantastic recreations of some iconic Marvel covers for players that were set to join the NFL and then teamed up with Fortnite to orchestrate an entire comic book run that intertwined the two worlds in one massive event.
That penchant for collaboration continues, as the best of both sports and video games has found a partner in the publication giant, as Marvel and FIFA celebrate some iconic Football legends with a brand new series of covers.

These phenomenal works reimagine these legends of the game in Marvel form, creating superheroes out of some of the best footballers ever to play the game, from American footballer and MLS legend Landon Donovan to Manchester City’s legendary Yaya Toure.
The covers are brilliant in that these iconic are truly given the Marvel treatment, and done in an effort to bring some more attention to the fast-approaching FIFA 23 video game; the biggest football simulation that exists on the market, and the final FIFA game to be developed under the current EA format.

The collaboration is more than just some awesome artwork, as the collaboration extends to the actual game, with these various players being available with FIFA’s massive online gaming format, FIFA Ulitmate Team, better known as FUT by those who play the game.
FUT gives players the chance to earn various cards of past and present footballers to construct and pay as their very own super squad, and these Marvel covers will actually be cards in the game mode that players can obtain and use within FIFA 23.
