While starting out in serious manner, showcasing some ethereal shots of Dion onstage singing, the “Ashes” video quickly takes the comedy route when Deadpool himself arrives, displaying a contemporary dance routine that would give any steel town girl on a Saturday night a run for her leg-warmer money. You know that Deadpool 2 poster that parodies Flashdance? While it seemed like just another repertory random pop culture reference when it hit, little did we know that it would prove prescient. Rather, the song is a declarative and empowering piece called “Ashes,” featuring the powerful pipes that, for decades, has made Dion a hitmaker (and now Ceasars Palace Las Vegas resident). Deadpool 2 will be forever attached to an epic theme song by none other than Celine Dion – you know, of “My Heart Will Go On” Titanic fame? This time, however, it’s not a song told from the perspective of a girl who wouldn’t scoot over on a big floating door to prevent her boyfriend from freezing to death on the icy waters. Thus, considering that the original Deadpool went the catalogue route to use DMX’s “X Gon’ Give It to Ya” as its theme song, one might wonder what kind of song could thematically work for this sequel. This one, however, has nothing to do with the plot, instead manifesting as a revival of the lost art of the epic movie soundtrack song (and accompanying music video rife with movie clips). Deadpool 2 has cooked up yet another surprise.
