Get ready for some exciting news that’ll have you cheering louder than a Hulk roar. Our favorite adamantium-clad mutant might be trading his claws for a golden statuette!
You heard it right – Marvel’s got its sights set on Oscar glory for Hugh Jackman’s performance in the upcoming “Deadpool & Wolverine.” Talk about aiming high!
Now, you might be thinking, “Wait, isn’t Wolverine usually more about slicing and dicing than schmoozing with the Academy?” Well, times are changing, and Marvel’s ready to show that superheroes can bring home more than just box office billions.
Word on the street (actually from Variety) is that Marvel’s planning to submit Jackman for Best Supporting Actor at the Oscars. But that’s not all – they’re also eyeing nods from the Golden Globes, Screen Actors Guild, and Critics Choice Awards. Looks like Logan’s in for a busy awards season!
And let’s not forget about our favorite Merc with a Mouth. Ryan Reynolds isn’t being left out of the fun – Marvel’s pushing for him to snag a Best Actor in a Comedy or Musical nod at the Golden Globes. Can you imagine the acceptance speech? It’d be worth the price of admission alone!
Now, before you start planning your Oscars viewing party, let’s keep it real. Jackman’s only previous Oscar nod was for belting out tunes in “Les Misérables” back in 2013. Snagging a nomination for a superhero flick would be huge – like, “Ant-Man turning into Giant-Man” huge.

But even if the acting categories prove tough to crack, don’t count “Deadpool & Wolverine” out. The film’s got a solid shot at technical nods for things like special effects, sound design, and production design. Because let’s face it, making Wolverine’s hair look that good is an art form in itself.
The Golden Globes might be where this dynamic duo really shines, though. Marvel’s feeling confident about their chances in the Best Comedy category, and they’re even eyeing that shiny new Cinematic and Box Office Achievement award. (Barbie took home the inaugural one last year, but we think Wolverine’s adamantium might give him an edge.)
So, what do you think? Is it time for Logan to trade in his leather jacket for a tux? Will Deadpool crash the Oscars? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure – awards season just got a whole lot more interesting!
