Cline Dion, the queen of blockbuster-movie ballads, unveiled her latest belter, Ashes, which is set to appear in of all films Deadpool 2.
The song arrives with a music video packed with every melodramatic trapping imaginable. Dion performs the powerhouse cut on a stage in an empty theater, while slow-motion footage from Deadpool 2 is interspersed throughout. Halfway through, a string quartet appears on stage, as does Deadpool, who accompanies Dions performance with an interpretive dance routine.
The clip ends with Deadpool, played by Ryan Reynolds, applauding Dion, but informing the singer that shell have to shoot the video again because her performance was too good. This is Deadpool 2, not Titanic, Deadpool cracks. Youre at like an 11, we need to get you down to a five, five-and-a-half tops. Just phone it in.
Not missing a beat, Dion retorts: Listen, this thing only goes to 11. So beat it, Spider-Man.
