Will Black Panther 2 win an Oscar
When Black Panther first released in 2018, the film was nothing less than a cultural phenomenon. People liked the film; The world it created, offered its heroes, and the villains it explored. It soon became one of the biggest Marvel Studios projects of all time.
The film also won three separate Oscars, a first for the MCU. The categories Black Panther won included Best Costume, Best Production Design, and Best Original Score.
As with Wakanda Forever, many people are wondering whether the highly anticipated sequel will be as successful as the original. Could it go on with more Oscars for the Marvel Cinematic Universe?
Well, now a report has been released in which an attempt has been made to calculate the probability of this happening.
Wakanda’s Oscar Odds
Variety senior awards editor Clayton Davis has released her report ranking Black Panther likely: Wakanda Forever has won an Academy Award, aka, an Oscar, in a variety of categories.
Davis’s ranking in each category is as follows:
1.Best Picture: 12th Most Likely
2.Best Director: Ryan Coogler Ranks 21st as Most Likely Winner
3.Best Cinematography: Autumn Durald Most Likely in 10th Place
4.Best Adapted Screenplay – Ryan Coogler and Joe Robert Cole’s work likely ranked 11th
5.Best Supporting Actress: Angela Bassett at 10th, Dominic Thorne at 31st, Danai Gurira at 35th and Lupita Nyong’o at 37th.
When it comes to both Best Actor and Best Actress, both Letitia Wright and Winston Duke were left without ranks, meaning they are unlikely to receive nominations.
Martin Freeman was also considered for supporting actor but was left without rank.
Neither Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness nor Thor: Love and Thunder even made an honorable mention.
A previous report was made for Eternal last year, but none of the predictions won an Oscar—which isn’t surprising given the film’s reception.
Can Wakanda pull off the Oscars forever?
Which is not included in those predictions, in any of the categories the first film won. If there was one, they would be most likely to meet him, and he would certainly be there.
A perfect example is Best Costume Design. Not only was that aspect of the original film over the top, but it looks like Wakanda Forever could go even further. Just look at the blue Midnight Angel suit for proof, which has an honorable mention on the back of Nakia’s rusty green dress.
For all those other categories, it should come as no surprise that Wakanda Forever is likely second to none. The Academy is known for its bias towards both superheroes and big blockbuster events. They sometimes win, but that’s certainly not the norm.
Of course, it would be great for him to finally start changing. More than a few MCU movies deserve full recognition; Fingers crossed that Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is able to break that barrier even further.
Wakanda Forever will hit theaters on November 11.
