One week from today, the book MCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios will be on sale in a bookstore near you. It’s the story of Marvel taking over Hollywood—and then finding that its domination was more precarious than expected. It’s got over 100 original interviews with the people who made the movies, from studio head Kevin Feige to the man who played Doctor Strange’s cape. It has stories about purple pens, vision quests in the desert, and polka dot horses. It was a collaboration between Joanna Robinson, Dave Gonzales, and yours truly, and if you’re interested in the book, I’d love it if you preordered it today.

This is the official page for the book at W. W. Norton, which includes links to the bookstore of your choice.

This page has the most up-to-date information on the MCU book tour.

An excerpt from the book ran last week in Vanity Fair.

Joanna, Dave, and I did an early interview with SlashFilm.

The first review was a starred notice in Publishers Weekly: “This definitive account of the Hollywood juggernaut thrills.”

In addition, we’ve received some early blog reviews.

Agents of Fandom: “Not to skip to the post-credits scene, but the book is necessary reading for anyone who fancies themselves an MCU fan.”

The Cosmic Circus: “It is an absolute treasure trove of behind-the-scenes surprises, even for the most up-to-date MCU fans.”

PopMatters: “MCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios is a highly entertaining, well-researched, wide-ranging, detailed, and objective examination of one of the greatest Hollywood success stories.”

More reviews coming soon, but until then, judge for yourself! Order MCU today!
