# Superhero Film Guides These Marvel Books Will Catalog the Entire Marvel Cinematic Universe By Charlotte Joyce Kidd | Published 2015-09-10 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marvel-books References: [techtimes](http://www.techtimes.com/articles/83307/20150909/marvel-releases-guidebook-for-its-cinematic-universe.htm) & [marvel](http://marvel.com/universe/OHOTMU) Compared to the myriad of superhero costumes, toys, home furnishings, fan art examples and feature films, this addition -- a series of Marvel books -- may seem a little tame. However, the 'Guidebook to the [Marvel Cinematic Universe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hellofresh-guardians-snack-adventure-kit)' series will in fact be a thrilling, detailed look at every aspect of popular Marvel films. This new Marvel book series is a companion to the 'Official Handbook to the [Marvel Universe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kith-for-asics),' which catalogs characters, events and settings of [Marvel comics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marvel-and-disney). The 'Guidebook' will do the same for the Marvel films and will also analyze differences between the cinematic versions and the comic books that inspired them. The series kicks off with the first Marvel film, 'Iron Man,' and will then move onto 'Iron Man 2' and 'The Hulk' in its second instalment. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 13% | Activity: 11% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Superhero Film Guides:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating comprehensive guides for superhero films that analyze the differences between the cinematic versions and the comic books that inspired them. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Marvel Books:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing a series of Marvel books that provide a detailed look at every aspect of popular Marvel films. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Superhero-Inspired LEGO Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marvel-superhero-lego-toys.md) - [Superhero Lifestyle Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fantastic-four-first-steps.md) - [Comic Book Hero Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comic-book-heros.md) - [Comic-Themed Tech Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-heroes-vs-villains.md) - [Superhero-Guided Workout Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superheroguided-workout-app.md) - [Superhero-Themed Snack Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hellofresh-guardians-snack-adventure-kit.md) - [Film-Themed Building Block Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sactum-sactorum.md) - [Arachnid Superhero Tech Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casetify-x-marvel-spiderman-collection.md) - [Comic-Inspired Soda Cans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-heroes.md)
