2021 has been a huge year for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Not only did they release three feature films (Black Widow, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Eternals) with another one on the way (Spider-Man: No Way Home), but they also dropped their first batch of original shows on Disney+ (WandaVision, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Loki, What If…, Hawkeye). While DC’s schedule wasn’t quite as packed this year, they still delivered some fan-favorites like Zack Snyder’s Justice League and The Suicide Squad. Earlier today, nominees for the Hollywood Critics Association Film Awards were announced, and both Marvel and DC walked away with some nominations for Best Visual Effects.
