Marvel Entertainment was a moribund toymaker not even twenty years ago. Today, Marvel Studios is the dominant player both in Hollywood and in global pop culture. How did an upstart studio conquer the world? 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. For all its outward success, the studio was forged by near-constant conflict, from the contentious hiring of Robert Downey Jr. for its 2008 debut, Iron Man, all the way up to the disappointment of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and shocking departures of multiple Marvel executives in 2023. Throughout, the authors demonstrate that the original genius of Marvel was its resurrection and modification of Hollywood's old studio system. But will it survive its own spectacular achievements? Dishy and authoritative, MCU is the first book to tell the Marvel Studios story in full--and an essential, effervescent account of American mass culture"--cAmazon.com.20aMarvel StudiosxHistory.24aMarvel Studios xHistoria20aMarvel Entertainment Group  0aMotion picture studioszUnited StatesxHistory. 4aEstudios cinematográficos zEstados Unidos xHistoria  0aSuperhero films. 4aSuperhéroes xPelículas cinematográficas  0aScience fiction films. 4aPelículas de ciencia ficción  0aMotion picture studios. 6aStudios de cinéma. 6aFilms de superhéros. 6aFilms de science-fiction. 6aStudios de cinémazÉtats-UnisxHistoire. 7aFilm criticism2fast 7aFilm criticism.2lcgft 7aCritiques cinématographiques.2rvmgf1 aGonzales, Davec(Podcaster)1 aEdwards, Gavin,08aRobinson, Joanna (Podcaster).tMCU.bFirst edition.dNew York, NY : Liveright Publishing Corporation, a division of W.W.
