‘Wakanda Forever’ Star Angela Bassett Could Be the First Oscar-Nominated Actor From the Marvel Cinematic Universe

Nearly 30 years after 'What’s Love Got to Do With It,' Angela Bassett may be recognized by the Academy again for her turn in WakandaForever.

An Oscar-size crater was created in the category when Michelle Williams’ camp announced her lead actress campaign for her role in “The Fabelmans.” As it stands, multiple performers from the same films are vying for attention. Meanwhile, Bassett, a staple of cinema for more than 30 years, enjoys deep respect from her peers, and the role of the grieving mother has worked wonders for nominees such as Nicole Kidman and Sally Field and winners like Frances McDormand .

Bassett’s sole previous Oscar nod was for her turn as Tina Turner in 1993’s “What’s Love Got to Do With It.” Her pathway to a nom this time around will be contingent on how strongly “Wakanda Forever” resonates with Academy members.
