Zack Sharf Anthony Hopkins and Angela Bassett share a somewhat similar space in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Bassett stars in the “Black Panther” films as Queen Ramonda, mother of T’Challa and Shuri and ruler of Wakanda. Hopkins was a fixture of the “Thor” franchise as Odin, Thor’s father and the ruler of Asgard. Both actors play Marvel royalty, but their set experiences couldn’t have been more different. After all, Hopkins infamously wrote “No Acting Required” on his script for the original “Thor.” “I try to apply it to everything I do: no acting required,” Hopkins told The New Yorker in 2021 about acting in Marvel movies. “On ‘Thor,’ you have Chris Hemsworth—who looks like Thor—and a director like Kenneth Branagh, who is so certain of what he wants. They put me in armor; they shoved a beard on me. Sit on the throne; shout a bit. If you’re sitting in front of a green screen, it’s pointless acting it.”

Do you remember the first time you felt seen in a piece of media? Many of us had to reach for scraps when we were younger, secretly watching episodes of Glee when our parents weren’t home. Slowly but surely, the amount of content with authentic representation has been expanding.  When I was a teen, I had to dig to find books that had any type of gay voices, let alone any trans experiences. In 2020, I read Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas and my world flipped.
