1st printing. By Joanna Robinson, Dave Gonzales, and Gavin Edwards. How did an upstart studio conquer the world? In MCU, 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. 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. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 8 1/2-in., 512 pages, full color. Cover price $19.99.
