Recently, comic books are deep in the throes of a new renaissance. While graphic novels remain a thriving outlet, the phenomenon has found its way into major Hollywood flicks and popular television programs. In this new era, gallant superheroes and nefarious villains leap from the page and acquire their own live adaptations, thereby transforming them into psychologically complex and emotionally vulnerable beings. To grasp this concept, all one has to do is observe the recent rise of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In just seven years, it has become the highest-grossing film franchise in history, and has produced twelve box office behemoths, including unforgettable titles such as 2012’s The Avengers, 2014’s Guardians of the Galaxy and, most recently, Ant-Man. In the film industry, Marvel superheroes are undeniably one of the most marketable and commercially successful assets. Meanwhile, on television, Marvel is the mastermind behind popular programs such as ABC’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Netflix’s Daredevil.
Marvel heroes can be found in films, television programs, and various merchandises. Now, they can also be found on stage.
