As the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) moved on from the Thanos storyline, it became more political than ever - both on screen and off. Goren, with Rodda and Muhammad, appear to discuss this new volume of essays exploring the on-screen politics and real-world implications of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's expansion into the multiverse.

Author Jeffrey A Brown says: "This book is an essential read for anyone who is critically interested in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and where it is going. The essays shine a much needed light on such important issues as race, LGBTQ, and feminist politics played out through superheroes. It should be required reading in any university course dealing with contemporary popular culture."

Lilly J Goren is professor of political science at Carroll University. Patricia C Rodda is Assistant Professor of Political Science at Carroll. And Kareem Muhammad is Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Carroll.
