Celine Dion And Deadpool Danced Together And The Internet Is Freaking Out
By Aimee LutkinUpdated Jan. 15 2019, 11:28 a.m. ET
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.
It's also hilarious, which Dion appreciates:
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

Showtime, Mama. #EffortMaximal #Deadpool2 pic.twitter.com/ZKLrucXJO4
— Ryan Reynolds (@VancityReynolds) May 3, 2018Though, 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.

— Cameron Grant (@coolcam101) May 3, 2018Some 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
— Joe Reid (@joereid) May 3, 2018Though Celine comes out ahead, in most estimations. Including Deadpool's:

— Antonio (@Antoniopu_) May 3, 2018Celine’s new song is for Deadpool soundtrack. I have to laugh
— art 💫 (@standtallandsay) May 3, 2018To be honest “Ashes” @celinedion ft @deadpoolmovie @VancityReynolds is an Oscar contender. Academy Award for Best Original Song. Period. #ashesforOscar#deadpool2 https://t.co/bJ0ECQ1WvV
— Stefan Kapičić (@StefanKapicic) May 3, 2018CELINE DION INTEREACTING WITH DEADPOOL AND CALLING HIM SPIDERMAN IS THE BEST OF 2018 SO FAR #deadpool2 #Ashes #CelineDion
— R o m a i n (@romain_lmrc) May 3, 2018The consensus is that it's actually a really good song!
🤣🤣 Only Deadpool could make this beautiful song hilarious. Ryan is the Wade Wilson we've always wanted but never deserved

— Charlie (@97CJE) May 3, 2018I love this! Celine looked and sounded so beautiful, lol Deadpool slayed in those heels. 😂

— Matt Casey (@MattaTron1000) May 3, 2018Thank 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.
