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. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing set, not at all like the "Art of" series *by on Reviewed in the United States October 20, 2021* First, let me say this is a gorgeous product. The two volumes are fabric-bound hardcovers with a gold embossed image on the front of each (Iron Man on the first, the Infinity Gauntlet on the second). The pages are thick, high quality paper, and the color and images are beautiful. Each volume is about 250 pages, and they are quite heavy!I collect the "Art of..." Marvel hardcovers, and I worried that this book would basically be a conglomerate of all of those. That's not what this is at all. The art books focus on development and concept designs. These volumes are much more focused on production. There are many, many behind the scene photos to show you how they filmed different shots in the movies (Tony Start in the donut, Vision flying, the circle up in Avengers, to name a very few examples).There are a LOT of photos in this book, but there are also a lot of words! Snippets from different interviews with cast and crew are scattered among the pages. Ever wonder how Don Cheadle reacted when he found out Rhodey would be paralyzed? This book will tell you.Something worth noting is that this book is broken down by year rather than by film. The first volume covers the inspiration for and creation of Marvel Studios up through 2014; the second covers 2015 through 2019 with an additional chapter titled "The Future." This means that all the content from any given movie cannot be found in one place; while you read about filming Ragnarok, they will talk about casting Captain Marvel, then jump to some info on Black Panther, then bring you back to Ragnarok in the next chapter. It flows really well because this book is about movie production, not the individual movies themselves.All together, I highly recommend this book if you love the Marvel movies or are interested in how they are filmed. It's a high quality set that's perfect for collectors. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Absolute Best MCU Resource Ever. *by on Reviewed in the United States December 1, 2021* There isn't a single negative thing to say about this book set. 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.pt/products/68591663-the-story-of-marvel-studios-the-making-of-the-marvel](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/68591663-the-story-of-marvel-studios-the-making-of-the-marvel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-09-07*
