Robin Wright’s Antiope doesn’t get much screen time in Wonder Woman; in fact, her death very clearly marks the end of the film’s first act.
Even with her reduced role in Wonder Woman, she still managed to knock her scenes out of the park, and her work on Diana Prince’s solo movie could easily stand alongside the other women currently nominated in the supporting category.
That said, out of anyone present in the film’s supporting cast, she arguably deserves the most recognition for completely enveloping herself in her character and delivering a truly compelling performance.
Wright transformed herself to become the Amazonian General by putting on a considerable amount of muscle and donning a no-nonsense warrior persona that seems to represent a far cry from her days as Princess Buttercup.
