I have a new book coming out! It’s a history of Marvel Studios and how it remade Hollywood in its own image. We conducted over a hundred interviews for the book and it’s full of juicy behind-the-scenes details you’ve never heard, even if you’re a huge fan of the MCU (polka-dot horses! purple pens! dogs tumbling out of airplanes!).

I wrote this book in a team-up with the extraordinary Joanna Robinson and Dave Gonzales, who are both wicked smart and amazing collaborators. (You might know them from their superstar podcasting work on The Ringer-Verse and Trial by Content.) MCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios is being published by the Liveright imprint of W. W. Norton and it’s in United States bookstores on October 10th. How do you preorder a copy? Call up your local indie bookstore or click onto your favorite internet retailer (available via this page).

I think you’ll love the book, but admittedly, I’m not a disinterested party, so perhaps you’d like to check out our first review, from the good people at Publishers Weekly? They call it “a superb chronicle of how Marvel Studios conquered Hollywood.” The starred review concludes: “This definitive account of the Hollywood juggernaut thrills.”

Excelsior!
