Marvel fans, get ready to crank up the volume! The official soundtrack for the highly anticipated Deadpool & Wolverine, starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, was unveiled on Wednesday, boasting a wild mix of genres and a special collaboration that's been years in the making. Leading the charge is K-pop powerhouse Stray Kids. The eight-member group from JYP Entertainment contributes a brand new song titled ‘Slash’ to the soundtrack.

This isn't the first time Stray Kids have crossed paths with the Merc with a Mouth. Back in 2021, they stole the show on the Korean music competition program Kingdom: Legendary War. Their epic performance in the eighth episode saw them mashup their hit ‘God's Menu’ with Blackpink's ‘DDU-DU DDU-DU’. But the real treat for Deadpool devotees came when member Felix channeled his inner Wade Wilson, kicking off the performance with a cheeky monologue that wouldn't be out of place in the film itself.

I successfully negotiated a trade. Wolverine will be the newest and only member of @Stray_Kids. And the entire band will join the MCU. We wish @RealHughJackman all the best on his K-pop journey.#skz pic.twitter.com/tjQosErKab

Fast forward to July 2024, and Ryan Reynolds himself solidified the Deadpool-Stray Kids connection. In a hilarious social media video promoting the movie in South Korea, he playfully passed the phone between himself, Hugh Jackman, and Stray Kids members Felix and Bang Chan (both coincidentally Australian). The caption, “As they say in Seoul: Chk Chk Boom,” referenced the lead single from Stray Kids' upcoming EP, further solidifying the playful bond.

Hugh Jackman himself gets a feature on the soundtrack with ‘The Greatest Show’ from his critically acclaimed 2017 film The Greatest Showman. How this P.T. Barnum anthem will be woven into the "Deadpool & Wolverine" narrative remains a mystery, but one thing's for sure – it'll be an entertaining twist.

The rest of the soundtrack is a wild and eclectic mix, perfectly capturing the offbeat humor and action-packed energy of the film's protagonists. We've got classic boy band vibes with NSYNC's ‘Bye Bye Bye’, some sentimental charm from The Platters' ‘Only You (And You Alone),’ and a dose of 90s nostalgia with The Goo Goo Dolls' ‘Iris.’

For those in the mood for something a little more amped, there's Fergie's ‘Glamorous’ and the anthemic ‘The Power of Love’ by Huey Lewis & The News. And of course, no Deadpool movie would be complete without a touch of the unexpected. Tracks like Waylon Jennings' ‘I'm a Ramblin' Man’ and Chris de Burgh's ‘The Lady in Red’ add a touch of the bizarre that's sure to leave audiences chuckling.

The soundtrack also features a smattering of pop anthems, including Avril Lavigne's ‘I'm With You’ and the iconic ‘You're the One That I Want’ from Grease. Rounding out the eclectic mix are classics like Jimmy Durante's ‘I'll Be Seeing You’ and Aretha Franklin's powerful rendition of ‘You're All I Need to Get By’.

No superhero movie soundtrack is complete without a heart-pounding theme song, and Deadpool & Wolverine is no exception. The official theme, titled ‘LFG’, is composed by Rob Simonsen and promises to deliver the perfect blend of action and humor to set the stage for the film's epic showdown.

So, mark your calendars for July 26, and get ready to experience the claws and chaos of Deadpool & Wolverine, in English, Hindi, Tamil, or Telugu!
