Black Panther made history earlier this year by being the first superhero movie to be nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards. Though Ryan Coogler’s film about the King of Wakanda came away with three gongs – Best Costume Design, Best Original Score and Best Production Design – it didn’t manage to break down the door and pick up the most coveted award of the night.
Someone who’s “heartbroken” over Bl‘s Oscar loss is former Marvel boss Avi Arad. Before Kevin Feige took over the company, Arad was the founder of Marvel Studios, though he left back in 2006 prior to the advent of the McU. Though he’s long cut ties with Marvel, Arad’s clearly still a fan of their films and talked to Deadline about his frustration with how the Academy views superhero entertainment.
“I was heartbroken that Black Panther didn’t get the Academy.
