Why An Avengers Movie Thanked 1 Of 2024's Oscar Winners 9 Years Ago
Avengers: Age of Ultron features a nod to Hayao Miyazaki's Laputa robot from his 1986 film, Castle in the Sky. Miyazaki was thanked in the credits of Avengers: Age of Ultron, showing the influence he has had on Hollywood films. The possibility of Miyazaki's creations existing in the MCU multiverse opens up endless opportunities for crossover.
Hayao Miyazaki is a living legend of Japanese animation, and the influence of his work can be felt in all sorts of media, including 2015's Avengers: Age of Ultron. Having animated, written, and directed some of the best Studio Ghibli films, Miyazaki’s legacy lives on in heartwarming and surreal anime classics like Princess Mononoke, and My Neighbor Totoro, among many others. The Japanese auteur has also received appreciation from the Oscars, earning Best Animated Feature in 2003 for Spirited Away and repeating the feat in 2024, with The Boy and The Heron winning over Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.
