Did Deadpool Just Upstage Céline Dion In Their New Music Video?
Deadpool has enlisted Canadian superhero
Céline Dion to give an emotional punch to the upcoming sequel's soundtrack, and the new music video for the track expertly combines the vocalist's grace with the superhero's spunk.
In the video for "Ashes," Dion passionately wonders whether aesthetics can come out of ashes, while a stiletto-clad Deadpool takes the stage beside her with a unexpectedly delicate dance, giving us almost four minutes of this thrilling (and surprisingly mesmerizing) union.
The video ends with the superhero praising the diva — "That was the most pretty efficiency I've ever seen in my life!" — However telling her they need a do-over, taking her level of perfection down from a 11 to a 5, because, "This is
Deadpool 2, not
Titanic."
To be sincere, he's not wrong about that. Dion has contributed a number of hits to iconic movie soundtracks in the past, including
Beauty and the Beast and the aforementioned
Titanic, so her inclusion on the
Deadpool 2 soundtrack definitely elevates the notoriously half-assed vibe that generally characterizes the Merc with a Mouth.
And it's not just Dion providing musical clout. The soundtrack features even more female powerhouses, including Cher and Dolly Parton, as well as 80's classics from Pat Benatar, Peter Gabriel, and a-ha. Beats from DJ Shadow and Run The Jewels, Skrillex, and Diplo, French Montana, and Lil Pump modernize the album.
