Marvel Studios is reportedly aiming for major industry awards as it campaigns for Oscar nominations for Deadpool & Wolverine, following the film’s success within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
This film has become a standout hit, emerging as the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time and Marvel’s second billion-dollar release since Avengers: Endgame. With numerous Marvel cameos and a storyline that explores the multiverse, the Phase 5 adventure continues to generate excitement globally.
According to a leading publication, Marvel Studios is submitting Deadpool & Wolverine for consideration in the comedy categories at the Golden Globes.
Ryan Reynolds is also being considered for the best actor category, while Hugh Jackman will be put forward for best supporting actor in various prestigious awards, including the Oscars, Golden Globes, Screen Actors Guild Awards, and Critics Choice Awards.
The film is also targeting nominations in technical categories, such as visual effects and production design.
The significant attention that Deadpool & Wolverine has received, both before and after its theatrical release, supports Marvel Studios’ push for Oscar recognition, particularly for Jackman.
After returning to the role of Wolverine, which he initially left in 2017, Jackman delivered one of his most acclaimed performances in this film, emphasizing his longstanding legacy in the superhero genre.

However, it’s important to note that superhero films often struggle in the actor categories, typically securing wins in technical fields instead.
Despite this, it’s commendable that Marvel Studios is making the effort, and it wouldn’t be surprising for an MCU actor to receive a nomination, as seen with Angela Bassett’s nomination for Best Supporting Actress for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
There’s a chance Jackman’s performance in Deadpool & Wolverine could earn him at least a nomination.
While Marvel Studios tends to promote most of its films during awards season, their heightened efforts for Deadpool & Wolverine are understandable given its box office and audience success.
It will be intriguing to see the future of these characters following the film’s conclusion, as Marvel Studios has yet to disclose Reynolds and Jackman’s next appearances. However, with such a strong campaign, it seems likely that audiences have not seen the last of Wade and Logan after Deadpool & Wolverine.
