Publisher Titan Books has been busy with their work on the series of artbook rereleases under the banner, Marvel Studios' The Infinity Saga. Currently 11 of these books have hit shelves so far, with another 7 listed on their website, but more than one has now been pushed back.
For those that are unaware, Marvel Studios are bringing back their movie artbooks for the Infinity Saga run. The originals began with the first Iron Man in 2008 and ended with 2019's Spider-Man: Far From Home. The books were released along side the movies, but the majority have now sold out and can be expensive on second hand markets.
These new Titan Books versions have the same content, but are reprinted in slightly smaller books and come without a slipcase, something included in the originals. This trade-off means that the incredible artwork is being made available again at a very reasonable price. Newer fans and those that missed out before can buy the books for their favourites or collect them all as a matching collection.
The next couple of releases have been unaffected and are currently expected to hit their due dates. These are planned as follows; May 27th 2025 - Marvel Studios' The Infinity Saga - Captain America: Civil War - The Art of the Movie June 17th 2025 - Marvel Studios' The Infinity Saga - Doctor Strange: The Art of the Movie
The confirmed delays as seen on the Titan Books website can be seen here;
July 8th 2025 > August 26th 2025 - Marvel Studios' The Infinity Saga - Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2: The Art of the Movie
August 19th 2025 > October 7th 2025 - Marvel Studios' The Infinity Saga - Spider-Man: Homecoming - The Art of the Movie
September 30th 2025 > November 4th 2025 - Marvel Studios' The Infinity Saga Thor: Ragnarok - The Art of the Movie
November 11th 2025 > February 3rd 2026 - Marvel Studios' The Infinity Saga Black Panther: The Art of the Movie
These delays range from 7 weeks to almost 3 months and no reason has been given, though as it is often said here, that's usually the case. Artbooks are delayed often and aren't exclusive to any one publisher either, with even one as big as Titan Books suffering setbacks. In the case of The Infinity Saga series of rereleases, delays have happened in the past and as they are released in order, when one is pushed back, the rest follow.
However, there is one that has not yet been given a delay, Marvel Studios' The Infinity Saga The Road to Marvel's Avengers: Infinity War - The Art of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It is still listed for December 23rd, but given that the original was released after the artbook for Black Panther, expect this to move to March 2026 at the earliest.
This book comes with a mouthful of a title and features art from the previous movies, collecting character art for the key players ahead of Infinity War. Included is a look at the early concepts and designs for The Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, Black Panther, Spider-Man and more. It's perfect for those that don't have all of the previous books and want a single volume to dive into.
In the original run of artbooks, there was also The Road to Avengers: Age of Ultron - The Art of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, this was not included in the Titan Books series, as it also collected art from previous movies, making it redundant in the new collection. There will be a second 'Road to' book for Endgame though, which collects art for characters, including those introduced in Infinity War, but also concept art for the Infinity Stones and their appearances throughout the Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline.
Yet to be listed are artbooks for Avengers: Infinity War, Ant-Man and the Wasp, Captain Marvel, Road to Avengers: Endgame, Avengers Endgame and finally, Spider-Man: Far From Home. These may not be revealed for some time, but it is safe to say they will be listed for April and beyond if there are no more changes to the new schedule.
Although delays are frustrating to those waiting for the books, these have been coming out at a good pace. Marvel Studios' The Infinity Saga - Iron Man: The Art of the Movie was released on November 14th 2023, so by the end of this month there will have been 12 published in 18 months. If you collected the original run when they were coming with each movie, it took over 10 years to get them all.
As someone that owns the originals and has picked up one of these rereleases, I can say I would be happy to recommend them. The artists at Marvel Studios are some of the best in the industry and produce superb concept art for the heroes, villains, key moments, storyboards, settings and more. The low price of these books in combination with the quality and volume of art offers incredible value. You can check out a comparison video I made last year below and see for yourself.
