Read William Shakespeare’s Avengers: The Complete Works
Shakespeare and the Stark: A Bard Style Approach To The Avengers
This killed me.
After years of loving — yes, really loving — and laughing stupidly about this one scene…
Tony Stark to Thor in The Avengers:
Shakespeare in the park? Doth mother know you wear-eth her drapes?”
And now, well, Avengers is Shakespeare.
Marvel.com posted the official release today:
Ever since Tony Stark jested with the God of Thunder about indulging in some Shakespeare in the park, we’ve wondered what would if the most epic cinematic franchise of all time had been penned by the greatest playwright of all time? Well, wonder no more!
William Shakespeare’s Avengers: The Complete Works reimagines all four films as plays by the Bard of Avon, complete with authentic meter and verse, stage directions, and entertaining Easter eggs. Fans will experience their favorite scenes, characters, and lines in a new—yet fully faithful—way, through monologues and dialogue by everyone from Captain America to Groot (’Tis I!).
From the best-selling author of William Shakespeare’s Star Wars, this book has all the wit, hilarity, and charm of the Star Wars series but in a lavish new format featuring a two-column layout and dozens of full-color illustrations that capture all the iconic moments of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
We covered the most recent of the Shakespeare-inspired Star Wars books back in April 2020:
This Week! In Star Wars: Shakespearean Star Wars, The Cone Wars & Fan Art
With any luck, the books will be every bit as entertaining as the Shakespeare-like (lite) play in Thor: Ragnarok.
The book is available on September 28.
