Marvel-ous Emmys: Here are the MCU Actors and Actresses Nominated Over the Years

And it's a loooong list.

We know by now that starring in a Marvel Cinematic Universe movies is the stuff that makes — or re-launches — careers. And that’s not in just regards to the main characters —there’s a world of famous actors and actresses who have had the chance to take up relatively smaller roles and cameos in the more than ten years of history of the MCU.

And while it is true that Marvel properties do not do so well on the acting side of awards (they’re a force to be reckoned with when it comes to the technical side of things, though) that doesn’t mean that its players can’t boast a nomination or a win throughout their acting career. It might not be for Marvel work, but an Emmy is an Emmy— or an Oscar is an Oscar, you get what I mean.

So, since the nominations for this year’s Emmys came out just last week and re-lit everyone’s frenzy for the “Oscars of television,” here’s a list of most of the actors and actresses who have appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe — and strictly in MCU-canon productions who have already been released — who have also an Emmy nomination or win under their belt.

You’ll find her covering everything genre fiction, especially if it’s fantasy-adjacent and even more especially if it’s about ASOIAF. In this Bangtan Sonyeondan sh*t for life.
