The definitive story of how Marvel Studios created the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as told by the studio's creatives, and the cast and crew of The Infinity Saga
The Story of Marvel Studios is the first-ever, fully authorized, all-access history of Marvel Studios' creation of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as told by the producers, writers, directors, concept artists, VFX artists, cast, and crew who brought it to life. Year-by-year, project-by-project, the studio's founding and meteoric growth are described through detailed personal stories, anecdotes, and remembrances of noteworthy challenges, breakthrough milestones, and history-making successes. Together, these stories reveal how each of the films evolved into one ongoing cinematic narrative, as coauthors Tara Bennett and Paul Terry ( The Official Making of Big Trouble in Little China, 2017) chart the complete production history of The Infinity Saga's 23 movies (from 2008's Iron Man all the way up to, and including, 2019's Avengers: Endgame and Spider-Man: Far From Home).
Bennett and Terry were granted unprecedented access to Marvel Studios, which led to this years-in-the-making tome containing personal stories from more than 200 interviews, including every Marvel Studios producer; MCU writers and directors; the stars of The Infinity Saga; concept artists, costume designers, composers, and the talents behind the MCU's dazzling visual effects; and more. Featuring previously unpublished behind-the-scenes photography and archival production material, as well as personal photos and memorabilia from cast and crew, The Story of Marvel Studios is the essential, collectible chronicle of how the Marvel Cinematic Universe was brought to life.

Snyder says hi, though it took him 5 hours to get it out.
Lmao, well said.
It wasn't built on those big hitters... I agree. Other big hitters like iron man, hulk, and captain America though. So those big hitters you mentioned are all that's left, imo.
So they can learn how to create creatively absent entertainment where every film feels the same?
You sound like a DC Fanboy. I love all things DC and Marvel but this Batman trailer is not doing anything to Marvel. If anything, DC keeps remaking the Batman movies since it's the only one that doesn't seem to flop as bad as the others.
Believe me I have been reading Batman and Superman since I was a kid but DC got nothing on Marvel.
$90 is a good price for this but unless it sells out, this will surely drop in price down the road.
This was my thinking ... till I realized that it'd cost more than $10 to produce one, and they need to make more than double their cost to profit on it.
I preordered. And it was 90
$90 was the original price for the pre-order, but for anybody who placed an order in the weeks leading up to release, the price was $135.

The Hulk was well known, but it's easy to forget that before the movies, Iron Man and Captain America were pretty obscure to most non-comic readers. The entire MCU is built on them taking characters that most people didn't care about or hadn't heard of and turning them into huge icons. The fact that they were so successful at it makes it hard to remember when people were skeptical about a B list hero like Iron Man being able to carry a movie. Most comics nerds didn't even know Guardians of the Galaxy before the movie. Honestly, any random obscure character has the potential to be the next huge thing as long as the movie is good.
