'From Borat to Buff in 25 Minutes a Day,' the magazine cover tagline reads.
Cohen will play supervillain Mephisto, a devil-like figure who makes Faustian bargains, in the latest movie instalment in the Marvel franchise.
Inside the magazine, The Dictator actor revealed he sought the help of fellow Hollywood star Matthew McConaughey and celebrity trainer Alfonso Moretti with the physical transformation.
Cohen said he focused on short, consistent '25-minute workouts that were sustainable'.
'Even while filming, the workouts happened,' he said.
'In the past, I would've thought you needed hour-long sessions but ut the short sessions made it so much easier to stay consistent — even with the demands of being on set.'

Cohen, who is clearly proud of his hard work, wrote on Instagram: 'This is not AI, I really am egotistical enough to do this.
'Some celebs use Ozempic, some use private chefs, others use personal trainers. I did all three.'
He also joked he was 'debuting my new character: middle-aged man who replaced beer with protein shakes'.
The new physique comes a little over a year since Cohen and Fisher announced their divorce.
''We are proud of all we've achieved together and, continuing our great respect for each other, we remain friends and committed to co-parenting our wonderful children,' they wrote in a joint statement at the time.
Cohen married Fisher, who started her acting career on Australian TV on Home And Away, in 2010.
The couple lived in UK, America, and Australia, where they spent a lot of time during the pandemic.

American's scathing review of popular Aussie fast food joint
An American woman has shared her thoughts on some popular food chains in Australia as she sets out on a mission to try as many eateries as she can during her time Down Under. Food and travel vlogger Elise tucked into dishes from a selection of eateries in part one of her 'rating fast food chains in Australia as an American' series. 'Been trying all the Aussie chains and here's my ratings on some of them. Let me know your ratings and where I should try next,' the video caption read. The Californian had good things to say about most of the country's takeaway spots she has tried, but not all of them received a rave review — including a venue many Aussies hold with high regard. Here's what Elise had to say about these restaurants: The young American kicked off the series with a review of one of the most quintessential fast food establishments — McDonalds. Elise said the golden arches Down Under reign supreme compared to its American counterpart. She was particularly impressed by the breakfast menu and has even started referring to the fast food giant as 'maccas' in true Aussie style. 'I think it's way better here than in the US, I love the breakfast and the coffee's are so good.' Verdict: 7/10 Adored frozen dessert bar Yochi came out on top for the American, but Elise did admit there was some room for improvement when it comes to the range of flavours on offer. 'Love the butterscotch and the cookie dough but we have a tonne of these in the US,' she said. 'I wish they had more seasonal flavours.' Verdict: 9/10 Elise's Yochi bowl. Credit: TikTok 'Small portions? You mean normal size 😅,' wrote another. Verdict: 7.5/10 'As a southern Californian girl this was absolutely so disappointing,' she declared. 'The chicken was burnt and it (was) mostly all rice, super boring, wouldn't go back two out of ten. 'I got a free burrito from the app and that's the only reason I didn't complain.' Guzman and Gomez stans took to the comments to defend their adored eatery. 'How did you give GYG a 2 bruh,' one offended commentor wrote. 'Giving GYG a 2 is criminal,' a second person added. Verdict: 2/10 Trailing not too far behind with a below average rating was pizza giant Dominos. Elise once again pointed out her disappointment with the small size of the meals. 'Next is Dominos which I have gotten a few times here and the portions are way smaller than the US,' she said, 'They also don't have the same garlic butter crust.' Verdict: 4/10

Bindi Irwin's Dancing With The Stars partner has announced he is expecting his first child. Professional dancer Derek Hough, 40, announced earlier this week that his wife Hayley Erbert Hough was pregnant in a video on Instagram. 'We can't believe the biggest thing to happen to us could be so small,' the caption read. In another post showing the couple holding ultrasound pictures, Derek said: 'Already so loved'.

Media and tech firms are bending the knee to Trump. Only satirists say how small he is
We haven't heard this much talk about the presidential anatomy since the other guy in the Jeffrey Epstein files was in the Oval Office. President Donald Trump, a master at minimising others, is now being literally minimised on South Park by the crass and fearless creators of the cartoon. I could have told Trump that it's best not to provoke brilliant satirists. I learned that lesson the hard way 20 years ago. When I wrote Bushworld: Enter at Your Own Risk, about the tangled father and son saga that led to the invasion of Iraq, I wanted Pat Oliphant, a lacerating political cartoonist, to do the book's cover. I wheedled until that acerbic Aussie finally agreed. When the drawing came back, it was dazzling: a tiny, jangly-eyed George W. Bush under a big cowboy hat, his hands braced at the guns on his holster. He was walking down the driveway of an overgrown haunted version of the White House with a gargoyle hanging from the trees. Oliphant had given the president the body of a bug. Even though the book was harshly critical of W. and his scheming advisers, I was worried that the sketch might be a bit too disrespectful to the president. The cartoonist was a firm believer in 'stirring up the beast,' as he called it, taking a torch to the lies and hypocrisy of the powerful. So, naturally, he was contemptuous when I suggested that we make W. less buglike. But, faced with more wheedling, he reluctantly agreed to take another crack at it. I waited nervously. When the new illustration came in, W. no longer looked like a bug. Pat had made the president look more like a monkey. And he was even smaller.
