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 Featuring previously unpublished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.
