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.
