On October 19th, Abrams Books will release The Story of Marvel Studios: The Making of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a must-have collection that's the first and only authorized book to offer fans an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the MCU, as told by the studio's creatives and the cast and crew of The Infinity Saga.

Delving into the history of this shared world, the book features insight from the producers, writers, directors, concept artists, VFX artists, cast, and crew who helped make the MCU a reality, with co-authors Tara Bennett and Paul Terry charting the complete production history of every movie from Iron Man right up to Spider-Man: Far From Home

Featuring previously unpublished behind-the-scenes photography and archival production material, as well as personal photos and memorabilia from cast and crew, The Story of Marvel Studios is presented as a deluxe, two-volume foil-stamped cloth hardcover set and clocks in at 512 pages.

As well as a metallized reinforced slipcase with exclusive wrap-around MCU concept art montage by Marvel Studios Head of Visual Development Ryan Meinerding, we'll be getting a foreword from Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige and an afterword from Tony Stark himself, Robert Downey Jr.

Check out a first look at The Story of Marvel Studios below:

I love these sorts of books but is it wrong of me to also want something a little bit more 'unofficial' to get to some of the stranger decisions, regrets and retcons that have happened?

I know these books are a celebration but, for me, I want something a bit more grubby and critical.

This book is a long time coming. I ordered it off Amazon in October 2018. It was originally supposed to be released in 2019 after Endgame. Glad to see it finally has a release date.
