Marvel Announces William Shakespeare's Avengers: The Complete Works

Marvel has announced it's teaming with publisher Quirk Books and distributor Penguin Random House to this fall release William Shakespeare’s Avengers: The Complete Works. The collection, due out September 28, is currently available for pre-order.

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." Readers will get to 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!)."

Quirk Books is a natural fit for the collection, as it's also published Shakespearean-style reimaginings of Star Wars: The Force Awakens (William Shakespeare's The Force Doth Awaken), Back to the Future (William Shakespeare's Get Thee Back to the Future!), and Mean Girls (William Shakespeare's Much Ado About Mean Girls). Ian Doescher, author of all three of those titles, will be penning this stylistic adaptation, which "more than just an entertaining read… [is also] an eminently giftable franchise bible that elevates and celebrates the movies, making it a must-have for fans of the MCU and the Avengers alike."
