It’s hard to know how this will pan out. After all, The Academy has received much criticism in the past because of their habit of snubbing any and all superhero films. This criticism only increased this year with the inclusion of the new “best popular movie” category. It seems like this category was set up to leave The Academy off the hook. It’s hard to tell for sure.
Also announced is a recut version of Deadpool 2 called Once Upon A Deadpool. This version is for a younger audience. There are some new scenes that somewhat a spoof of the classic film The Princess Bride, with Fred Savage also starring in the new version. It will be in cinemas for a limited run from December 12th.
