The collaboration between Marvel and the Weeknd is the latest in a long line of project created alongside musicians. Marvel famously announced it would team with the Black Eyed Peas for Masters of the Sun earlier this year, and has been releasing variant covers that homage classic Hip-Hop album cover art since 2015.

The Weeknd first rose to fame in 2011, following the release of three nine-track mixtapes, "House of Balloons," "Thursday," and "Echoes of Silence." He later went on to release a studio album in 2013, titled "Kiss Land," followed by "Beauty Behind the Madness" two years later, which quickly became a hit on the Billboard 200. His latest album, "Starboy," was released last year and included the titular hit.
