Personally, I am not the wild fan of Deadpool that the Internet is demanding me to be. My favorite Marvel universe movie is Black Panther followed closely by Logan. But the marketing team for Deadpool keeps coming for my fandom, and they're getting closer and closer. Frankly, they're geniuses.
On Thursday, Celine Dion released a surprise music video and song for the Deadpool soundtrack, and it's truly, truly incredible. Now, we wouldn't say the song comes anywhere near to Celine's other musical masterpiece for the best movie of all time, Titanic, ( don't @ me) but let's be real, she is never going to top "My Heart Will Go On." So, her new song "Ashes" is a good compromise and honestly we are here for anything involving Ryan Reynolds — in or out of his superhero uniform. All that was missing was a cameo by his wife, Blake Lively, or Ryan's Twitter nemesis Hugh Jackman.
Over the years I've received incredible songs and I’ve been involved in fun projects.Ashes is 1 of those songs and @deadpoolmovie is off-the-charts!Take the most insane ride of your life when it opens on 5/18!You’ll be laughing your “ashes” off!–Céline xx https://t.co/oQdifucwUP
In the full vid, we get a dramatic and powerful performance by Dion, a dance in high heels by Deadpool, and a few romantic clips from the upcoming film. Yes, beauty can come from the ashes!
Though, I'm sorry to say I don't think that is actually Ryan Reynolds dancing. He is a man of modern talents, but flawless modern dance in heels is probably not one of them.
Some people think the mash-up actually makes perfect sense?
I love that the Deadpool people think they're the smart, irreverent ones in this whole Celine situation, but you will never out-weird the woman who hung a plaster cast of her dead husband's hand above her Vegas stage door. pic.twitter.com/0wDhNQIxCz
Thank you to the Deadpool team, who are truly reaching across the aisles to bring everyone together over this music video:
Whoever is in control of the marketing and everything about this movie (and I suspect it's A LOT Ryan Reynolds himself) deserves a fucking award and a lifetime supply of chimichangas. That is so brilliant, I can't believe it.
