From Salt-N-Pepa 90s classic ‘Shoop’ in the opening scene of the first Deadpool movie, to Celine Dion's camp power ballad ‘Ashes’ in the sequel's credits, the 'Merc with a Mouth' has a stellar track record when it comes to bringing the bops.
Deadpool & Wolverine continues the trend, with a soundtrack that brings in everyone from Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin, to Emo Princess Avril Lavigne, and a battle of the boybands with 90s boyband heartthrobs *NSync and K-Pop phenomenon, Stray Kids.
Most exciting of all is the inclusion of The Greatest Showman – starring Wolverine himself, Hugh Jackman, on lead vocals. Ryan Reynolds recently said a planned Wolverine musical number had been scrapped, perhaps he was double-bluffing and we will get the adamantium-clawed beast going full jazz hands on us.
