illustrate the conceptual and thematic transformation, the main conventions of the genre are
scanned through several periods, focusing on the developmental age of the genre, including the
dominant period of DC Comics-based superhero movies (1978-1997) and the Marvel “boom”
(2000-2007), and the contemporary age. For this purpose, the book traces the fundamentals of
superheroes from the first appearance of Superman in Action Comics #1 (1938) to the final installment
of the MCU’s Phase 3, Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019). The transformation has two significant
points. First, the genre’s main conventions have been in a change. Second, the genre’s focus
has changed from sequel filmmaking to the universe concept. The study investigates the Marvel
Cinematic Universe’s dominant, leading, and major role in the genre’s evolutionary process.
Besides, the future of the superhero movie genre is questioned through the multiverse concept to
broaden an understanding of the genre’s following directions.
