Welcome to Marvel Studios News. My name is Sean Gerber. Today I'm not going to be joined by my co-host Paul Herman.

Suffice to say, that's a bit of a problem for a podcaster, so I'm sure you'll join me in wishing Paul a speedy recovery so he can join us again.

But I will carry on for this episode because

2018 is almost over so I wanted to take a little bit of time to go back and reminisce about the biggest and best Marvel Studios stories

that we saw this year.

And I want to begin with a thank you.

Thank you, Ed Barton, Brian White, and Gregory Perlman.
