The Ultimate Face-Off! Will Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie Get the Last Laugh?
While Brad Pitt’s Wolfs might currently have the upper hand, the buzz around Angelina Jolie’s Maria is hard to ignore, especially with Oscar season on the horizon. This role is the perfect storm Jolie has been waiting for over two decades, one that showcases her intense dedication to a character. In the film’s climax, her performance is so raw and powerful that it’s practically an “Oscar clip” in the making as per Variety.
While Pablo Larraín’s previous films, such as Jackie and Spencer, have earned critical acclaim and Oscar nominations for their lead actresses, they haven’t quite captured the Academy’s full attention.
Netflix, the streaming platform behind Maria, by the looks of it, is determined to change that narrative this time around and secure a spot for the film during this awards season. With Jolie’s powerful performance and Larraín’s acclaimed direction, Maria is set to be a major contender not just for Pitt, but for the entire awards season.
Hollywood loves a great comeback story, only time will tell how the Academy feels about this one.
Maria is set to premiere on September 8, 2024, while Wolfs will hit theaters on September 20 and stream on Apple TV+ starting September 27.
