Marvel Entertainment was a struggling toymaker not even twenty
years ago. Today, Marvel Studios is the dominant player both in
Hollywood and in global pop culture. But what accounts for its
stunning rise? In MCU, beloved culture writers Joanna Robinson,
Dave Gonzales, and Gavin Edwards draw on more than a hundred
interviews with actors, producers, directors, and writers to
present the definitive chronicle of Marvel Studios and its sole,
ongoing production, the Marvel Cinematic Universe. As they delve
into the studio's key moments - from the contentious hiring of
Robert Downey Jr. for Iron Man to the negotiations over Disney's
acquisition of Marvel to studio head Kevin Feige's embrace of
streaming TV - the authors demonstrate that the genius of Marvel
was its resurrection and modification of Hollywood's old studio
system. Dishy and authoritative, MCU is the first book to tell the
Marvel Studios story in full - and an essential, effervescent
account of popular culture.
