As they delve into the studio's key moments - from the contentious hiring of Robert Downey Jr. for Iron Man to the negotiations over Disney's acquisition of Marvel to studio head Kevin Feige's embrace of streaming TV - the authors demonstrate that the genius of Marvel was its resurrection and modification of Hollywood's old studio system. Dishy and authoritative, \u003ci\u003eMCU\u003c\/i\u003e is the first book to tell the Marvel Studios story in full - and an essential, effervescent account of popular culture.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46717722722462,"sku":"ADS-9781472270771","price":26.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781472270771.jpg?v=1776128982","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781472270771","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
