The promotional campaign forDeadpool 2has been one hell of a hilarious rollercoaster. There was the Bob Ross-themed first teaser trailer, followed by the Good Housekeeping special edition cover story, and now we have a trailer set to the theme song from the 1980s sitcom theGolden Girls. “Thank You For Being a Friend” is played while the cast ofDeadpool 2is introduced with a cheesy font, echoing the 80s. The juxtaposition of the lighthearted song and the hard R-rating ofDeadpool 2make for a pretty hilarious remix and should get everybody ready for the holiday weekend.
To get fans excited about the holiday weekend,Deadpool 2released theGolden Girlsremix trailer in an effort tosteal some of the thunder from Solo: A Star Wars Story, which will easily dominate the box office this weekend. TheGolden Girlshas been a favorite of Ryan Reynolds for quite a while. Back in April of 2015, he revealed the names of Wade Wilson’s Katana swords: “TheKatanas are named Bea and Arthur. Bea is a dedicated performer and a joy to work with. Arthur’s grumpy-wumpy.”
Deadpool 2 has been killing it at the box office, surpassing initial predictions worldwide, but falling below the earnings from the first movie domestically. After one week in theaters, the sequel will be crossing the $400 million mark after this weekend, which is no easy feat. Additionally, theDeadpool 2carries anR-rating, making the feat even more awesome. However, the R-rating hasn’t worked out well for one particular member of the cast. 15-year old Julian Dennison still isn’t allowed to see the sequel in theaters, revealing that he was able to introduce the movie at premieres, but not able to sit through the entire movie.
In Julian Dennison’s home country of New Zealand, you have to be 16-years old to watchDeadpool 2, so he can’t even watch it at home, which is pretty ironic considering that Dennison has some of the craziest jokes in the sequel. All that being said, there’s no way that Dennison hasn’t seenDeadpool 2all the way through. Ryan Reynolds and Josh Brolin had to have taken him to a private screening or something. Maybe they could even make an edited screener for the young star.
Anyway, it’s the start of a holiday weekend, and the Merc with a Mouth really wants you to know thatDeadpool 2is still in theaters, so go to your barbecues, enjoy your family and friends, but make sure to seeDeadpool 2again. TheGolden Girlsremix has been such a hit that even survivingGolden Girl Betty Whiteshared the new trailer on social media, unofficially giving her ringing endorsement of the raunchy sequel. You can check out the brand-newGolden GirlsandDeadpool 2remix trailer below, thanks to the 20th Century Fox YouTube channel.
