Good Oscar year for comic book movies. Black Panther nominated for Best Picture, though a super long shot to actually win. It was also nominated for the sound and score categories, as well as the costume category.
Avengers: Infinity War nominated for Best Visual Effects. I would be surprised if it didn’t win, but the Academy does choose odd things in this category in previous years.
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse nominated for Best Animated Feature. Surely it’s a lock in that category.
Well that’s kinda weird! Now we already know Spidey is gonna come back and he stays alive:/ - JP
I think it’s widely assumed all the characters that have sequels to their movies are coming back. Black Panther, Dr. Strange, Spidey, Guardians of the Galaxy (most of them anyway). I think what everyone’s waiting for is what they will do with the older characters/actors whose contracts have run out (i.e. Cap and Iron Man).
