February 23, 2016 by Gary Collinson

With the voting for the 88th Academy Awards drawing to a close ahead of Sunday’s ceremony, 20th Century Fox’s Deadpool is making a last minute plea to the Academy voters, with Ryan Reynolds taking to Twitter to share a ‘For Your Considerbation’ poster for the film. Take a look…

Of course, Deadpool is ineligible for this year’s awards, seeing as it only opened this month, but hey – there’s always 2017.

Based upon Marvel Comics’ most unconventional anti-hero, DEADPOOL tells the origin story of former Special Forces operative turned mercenary Wade Wilson, who after being subjected to a rogue experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers, adopts the alter ego Deadpool. Armed with his new abilities and a dark, twisted sense of humor, Deadpool hunts down the man who nearly destroyed his life.

Miller (Transformers: Age of Extinction) as Weasel, Morena Baccarin (Gotham) as Copycat, Gina Carano (Fast & Furious 6) as Angel Dust, Ed Skrein (Game of Thrones) as Ajax, Stefan Kapicic (24) as Colossus, Leslie Uggams (Roots) as Blind Al and newcomer Brianna Hildebrand as Negasonic Teenage Warhead.
