Deadpool's Oscar pitch falls flat but Ryan Reynolds keeps playing the part
Deadpool will not feature at the 89th Academy Awards despite it garnering critical success and becoming the highest grossing R-rated movie ever ($760.3m).
The irreverent anti-hero flick, which boasted perhaps the most compelling movie marketing of 2016, received no nominations at the awards angering some fans, even the poorly received Suicide Squad received more with a nomination in Makeup and Hairstyling.
It comes after the studio even went to the bother of creating the most insincere Oscar pitch the Academy may ever receive.
