The marketing forDeadpool 2continues to come out of left field, and indeed star/producerRyan Reynoldshas now shared a piece of art for the film that is anything but traditional. We knew things would be different whenthe very firstDeadpool 2posterwas a riff onNorman Rockwell, which itself was debuted ina very special issue ofGood Housekeeping. Even the first footage was revealed insideaBob Ross-esque videofeaturing Reynolds as Deadpool, and now this new piece of art is a recreation ofMichelangelo’s “The Creation of Adam”, with Deadpool sitting in for Adam andJosh Brolin’s Cable filling in for God.
It’s a fun piece of art that reminds audiences in the glut of the holiday season that R-ratedDeadpoolcheer is heading our way next Summer, and it’ll be interesting once we see the movie to look back and see if any of this marketing was actually giving hints about the plot/character motivations, or if they were just fun little things to get folks excited.
