  • Another MCU Movie Besides Captain America 4 Hoping for Big Oscar Noms

    Captain America 4 isn’t the only MCU movie hoping to get some awards consideration, as Thunderbolts* is also campaigning for Best Picture at the Academy Awards.

    Marvel Studios’ Thunderbolts* was released in United States theaters this past May. Directed by Jack Schreier, who is now helming Marvel’s X-Men movie, Thunderbolts* stars Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier, Wyatt Russell as John Walker/U.S. Agent, Olga Kurylenko as Antonia Dreykov/Taskmaster, Lewis Pullman as Robert “Bob” Reynolds/Sentry, David Harbour as Alexei Shostakov/Red Guardian, HannahJohn-Kamen as Ava Starr/Ghost, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Valentina Allegra de Fontaine.

    What Oscars is the MCU Thunderbolts* movie campaigning for?

    On Disney’s For Your Consideration page, it’s been announced that Thunderbolts* is campaigning for the Best Picture. If it were to win, the award would go to Kevin Feige.

    Thunderbolts* is also campaigning for Best Director (Schreier), Best Actress (Pugh), Best Supporting Actor (Stan and Pullman), Best Supporting Actress (Louis-Dreyfus), Best Casting (Sarah Halley Finn), Best Adapted Screenplay (Eric Pearson and Joanna Calo), Best Cinematography (Andrew Droz Palermo), Best Costume Design (Sanja Hays), Best Film Editing (Angela Catanzaro and Harry Yoon), Best Makeup & Hairstyling (Kimberly Jones and Lane Friedman), Best Original Score (Son Lux), Best Production Design (Grace Run and Gene Serdena), Best Sound (Samson Neslund, Daniel Laurie, Onnalee Blank, Michael Semanick, and Chris Giles), and Best Visual Effects (Jake Morrions, Chad Wiebe, Mat Krentz, and Nikos Kalaitzidis).

    The Oscar nominations will be announced on Thursday, January 22, 2026, with the ceremony then being held on March 15, 2026.

    At the same time, Marvel is trying to get Captain America: Brave New World some Oscars love, as that movie has been submitted for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Film Editing, Best Makeup & Hairstyling, Best Original Score, Best Production Design, Best Sound, and Best Visual Effects.

    Thunderbolts* is now streaming on Disney+.

  • Anthony Mackie’s Bummed Captain America 4 is a Sam Wilson Solo Act

    Since 2014’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Anthony Mackie has popped up as former pilot (and Steve’s ever reliable bestie) Sam Wilson. Last we saw Sam, he’d finally accepted his role as the new Captain America in The Falcon & the Winter Soldier, which was all the way back in 2021.

    Were There Any Scenes Cut Connecting Ghostbusters: Afterlife to Frozen Empire?

    Next year, Sam will headline his first solo film in Captain America: Brave New World, which follows on from that miniseries. Talking to Radio Times, the actor acknowledged he was fond of working on that show, which paired him with Sebastian Stan’s ex-cyborg assassin Bucky Barnes. “I was actually excited to do a second season, just so me and Sebastian can get paid to hang out,” he stated. “Because it’s like me, him and Daniel Brühl [as Zemo]. It’s kind of like the perfect storm of happiness. […] Anything I can do to hang out with a dancing Daniel Brühl makes me very happy.”

    Brave New World’s full cast hasn’t been officially revealed, but Mackie confirmed neither Bucky or Zemo will be popping up here. (Bucky will be featured in Thunderbolts while Zemo’s next appearance is a big question mark.) Since FalconSoldier is a fairly key part of Sam’s evolution, he’s admitted headlining a movie without those two doesn’t entirely feel the same. “When they decided to go back to the movies, it is what it is, but I don’t have my friends anymore. It kind of dampens it a little bit.”

    Major supporting characters often pop in and out of the MCU a somewhat regular cadence—see Hawkeye and Jane Foster as two of many examples. There are some, though, who feel like they should be around more often than they are, and their absence often highlights how much a particular entry isn’t entirely working. There’ll be some familiar faces in Brave New World (like Danny Ramirez’s Joaquin Torres), but given how FalconSoldier ended with the promise of Sam and Bucky as a dynamic duo, it’s a bit of a shame we won’t get to see that play out on the big screen.

    Captain America: Brave New World is expected to hit theaters on February 14, 2025.
