Remember Hilary Swank?

I think he's an excellent comparison as they're really both offbeat character actors to my mind. He'd been around for years and is kind of lucky he won an Oscar, so few in his position do. Swank goes from working with Sam Raimi to Brian De Palma, Richard LaGravanese to Mira Nair, suggesting to me she was never knocking down studio doors asking for parts in Marvel blockbusters, whether she'd have gotten them or not. I just never saw her in 'Transformer' pictures, Craig Trevorrow movies and the latest from McG, but perhaps things will change. She doesn't suggest in interviews that she's looking for this to happen though.
