<P> Junkie XL chose not to return for Deadpool 2 after composing the score for the first film, given that Miller was "the driving force behind" him working on that film in the first place . In October 2017, it was confirmed that Tyler Bates would be writing the score for Deadpool 2 after doing the same for Leitch's previous films . Bates approached the music with a slight rock sensibility, and used a distorted guitar run through a wah - wah pedal, microsynths to add "unique colors", and a choir . The choir originally sings lyrics such as "you can't stop this motherfucker" and "holy shit balls!", which ultimately earned the score a parental advisory warning . It is the first score album to receive such a warning . Bates felt this was not "merit-less debauchery, it was just fun . It's very rare that we can work on something at such a high professional level that embraces the irreverence of Deadpool ." </P> <P> Leitch wanted to create an original song for the film that served as an emotional through - line for all of the film's characters; the song "Ashes" was ultimately produced, as recorded by Céline Dion . Leitch directed a music video to go with the release of the song, and Reynolds both wanted to produce a music video to accompany the song; Leitch was initially conflicted about this, as he wanted audiences to discover the song, which was filmed in The Colosseum at Caesars Palace . It features dancer Yanis Marshall performing as Deadpool in high heels while Dion sings the song . The song was released as a single with the music video on May 3, 2018, before Sony Classical Records released a score album on May 11, and Columbia Records released an album featuring the songs from the film--including "Ashes"--on May 18 . </P> <P> Deadpool 2 premiered at Leicester Square in London on May 10, 2018 . It was released in the United States on May 18, 2018, having been previously scheduled for release on June 1 of that year . </P> <P> For the Fox presentation at CineEurope 2017 in June, Reynolds made a video message featuring himself in costume as Deadpool from the film's set . The first teaser poster, which pays homage to Norman Rockwell's 1943 painting Freedom from Want, was released that November . Justin Carter of Comic Book Resources found it "oddly appropriate for Deadpool 2 to co-opt (this) iconic work for a modern pop culture audience" as it is "true to Deadpool's incredibly referential nature". Eric Diaz of Nerdist said, "It strikes exactly the irreverent tone you'd expect for the Deadpool sequel ." The first footage from the film debuted the following week, at the end of a video where Reynolds (in - character as Deadpool) parodies Bob Ross and his television show The Joy of Painting . The video was described by The Hollywood Reporter's Ryan Parker as "completely out of left field" and setting the tone perfectly for the film, though his colleague Graeme McMillan was less positive due to not knowing of Ross (Deadpool co-creator Fabian Nicieza thought the fact that many in the audience wouldn't know of Ross made the video "exactly the kind of quirky pop culture choice that works perfectly for Deadpool"). Parker added, "This trailer only showed a few seconds from the film, but fans will be talking about it all day" because of the presentation, unlike "any other trailer which would have shown so little of the product". </P>
