The R-rated blockbuster made waves as the debut of these former 20th Century Fox Marvel characters in the Disney-owned Marvel Cinematic Universe.

However, this may not be the last time we see Deadpool & Wolverine on the big screen. With awards season underway, Disney is actively campaigning for the film, particularly for a Best Supporting Actor nomination for Hugh Jackman.
If the film gains momentum during awards season, there’s a good chance that Deadpool & Wolverine could be rereleased in theaters to capitalize on any potential Oscar wins or other major film award recognition. This would provide audiences with another opportunity to experience the film in a theatrical setting.
