Must have book for any MCU fan! - This is a chronological story of Marvel Studios, from way back when the first Marvel characters came to movie screens (even before Iron Man), and going in exquisite detail in the road from the first Tony Stark adventure up to their latest projects, including Disney+ releases. What is interesting of the book is that, apart from gorgeous photography (and many cool behind the scenes gems), it has a rich text that shows you how each film came to be from initial idea into their premieres and box office results, but in perfect MCU fashion, this is told as a single story where many directors, producers, VFX artists, etc are "interconnected" and create a much larger story: the one of a studio that started in small offices inside a kite factory (yes, you read right) into one of the largest movie studios of history. At the core (sorry for the DC reference), there's their own Superman-Batman-Wonder Woman trinity of heroes - Kevin Feige, Louis D'Esposito and Victoria Alonso. Being a lifelong Marvel fan (and also recently of the MCU) I came with very high expectations about this book and I was greatly surprised about the heart and the soul of the underlying story, the excellent pictures and behind the scenes secrets (which I won't spoil here!) and of course a very beautiful presentation. Chapters dealing in detail with Taika Waititi's process for Thor:Ragnarok or Ludwig Goransson's process for Black Panther as well as the mamooth storytelling and logistics effort for Infinity War and Endgame are real gems--- Buy this book before it's sold out and becomes a collector's item... Review: A must-have for any diehard MCU fan - This two-volume set is a comprehensive and insightful dive into the Marvel film franchise, covering each film's conception from vision to reception, ranging from 2008's Iron Man to Spider-Man: Far From Home in 2019. There are even touching mentions of earlier Marvel films like the animated productions, Blade, and Ang Lee's Hulk. Everything is covered with deep affection and disarming honesty, and the films' creators are forthcoming about why some details didn't work so well, but mostly why we consider these films to be a part of the greatest cinematic success stories in existence today. Most of all, creators and artists who are hungry for knowledge about how to deliver compelling storytelling that's informed by great design will appreciate the in-depth look at the creative process, and how to turn challenges into opportunities. It's a textbook for how to turn comic book fans into film buffs and film buffs into comic book fans. It's also a treatise on passion projects that draw us all in. It makes the case for allowing nerds to run artistic mediums that handle the material they're nerdy about. It's a magnificently assembled (excuse the term) compilation of the movies that have been keeping us coming back to the darkened auditoriums and bright screens for 10 years, even through a pandemic. In addition, it looks gorgeous on the shelf and is built to last. If you're a Marvel fan, a moviegoer, or an artist needing inspiration, this is for you. Don't miss it. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #91,296 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #14 in Action & Adventure Movies #72 in Movie Direction & Production #1,281 in Superhero Comics & Graphic Novels | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 4.9 out of 5 stars (1,268) | | Dimensions | 15.94 x 11.22 x 1.61 inches | | Edition | Illustrated | | ISBN-10 | 1419732447 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1419732447 | | Item Weight | 9 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 512 pages | | Publication date | October 19, 2021 | | Publisher | Abrams Books | ## Images ![The Story of Marvel Studios: The Making of the Marvel Cinematic Universe - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/810YkyRtbML.jpg) ![The Story of Marvel Studios: The Making of the Marvel Cinematic Universe - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51gmdzfZBUL.jpg) ![The Story of Marvel Studios: The Making of the Marvel Cinematic Universe - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51HCv5J92RL.jpg) ![The Story of Marvel Studios: The Making of the Marvel Cinematic Universe - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81CyuJpd2aS.jpg) ![The Story of Marvel Studios: The Making of the Marvel Cinematic Universe - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51x-ZxNTbIL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Had high expectations----and they were surpassed!!!!

It is without a doubt the most comprehensive "making of" book about the MCU that is out there. Every page and story is wonderfully written and compelling to read. They have found a way to make even the most mundane pieces of information feel like gold nuggets of valuable facts. It's a thoroughly entertaining read. I'm honestly not that much of a Marvel fan outside of watching the movies with my daughter but I've been seeing excerpts from this book being quoted in various news articles recently and it piqued my interest enough to give it a try. I'm so glad I did. I genuinely appreciate the movies so much more now. The next time I watch them, I'll remember all these little facts and stories and it'll make the experience all that much better. Be warned though, it's big; really big. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Story of Marvel Studios: The Making of the Marvel Cinematic Universe - Marvel Studios The Marvel Cinematic Universe An Official Timeline - MCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fr/products/68591663-the-story-of-marvel-studios-the-making-of-the-marvel](https://www.desertcart.fr/products/68591663-the-story-of-marvel-studios-the-making-of-the-marvel) --- *Product available on Desertcart France* *Store origin: FR* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
