Synopsis

Marvel Entertainment was a struggling toymaker less than two decades ago, but today, Marvel Studios dominates Hollywood and global pop culture. This book, drawing on over a hundred interviews with actors, producers, directors, and writers, chronicles the definitive story of Marvel Studios and its ongoing Marvel Cinematic Universe. It reveals how the studio was shaped by constant conflict, from the contentious hiring of Robert Downey Jr. to recent executive departures. The authors argue that Marvel's genius lies in its revival of Hollywood's old studio system, questioning if it can sustain its spectacular success.
