Martin Scorsese's mob drama The Irishman, Marvel films Avengers: Endgame and Captain Marvel are among the 20 films that will compete in the Visual Effects category for the 92nd Academy Awards.
Scorsese had sparked a debate during the promotions of The Irishman by equating Marvel movies to a theme park experience. Veteran filmmakers like Ken Loach and Francis Ford Coppola had spoken along similar lines.
His film, starring Robert De Niro and Al Pacino, has used the de-aging technology to reverse the years of its lead stars something that director Ang Lee also experimented with his Gemini Man.
The Will Smith-starrer is also in the list along with the Guy Ritchie-directed live-action remake of Disney fantasy drama, Aladdin.
