Photo: Marvel Studios In the months since Avengers: Endgame blipped its way out of theaters and lodged itself in the collective consciousness, the superhero epic has come to be best understood within the context of its superlatives.
Last year, of course, Marvel’s Black Panther cracked the Academy Awards’ glass ceiling for megabudget comic-book fare. Riding a wave of cultural euphoria as the first stand-alone studio superhero movie centered around a character of African descent, the $1.34 billion-grossing film landed a first-of-its-kind Best Picture nod and ultimately netted three Oscars .
He points to the Best Picture benediction heaped on Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King in 2003, the final installment of Peter Jackson’s Middle-earth film trilogy . “We saw this with the last Lord of the Rings,” Davis says. “It sort of swept the Oscars because they wanted to honor the trilogy. Something similar happened with the conclusion of Game of Thrones at the Emmys. It’s a tough category, but I think [Endgame] deserves a Best Picture nomination.
“There are two potential reasons why Avengers: Endgame could make the [Best Picture] nomination. One is a good reason, one is a bad reason,” says Del Vecchio, who also works as an adjunct professor of marketing at the USC Marshall School of Business.
