Stray Kids is gearing up for an exciting release with their new track “Slash,” featured on the official soundtrack for Marvel Studios’ film Deadpool & Wolverine. This collaboration marks a notable crossover between K-pop and Hollywood, generating buzz among fans.
On July 17, Marvel Entertainment released the original soundtrack list for Deadpool & Wolverine, set to premiere on July 26. The soundtrack will be available two days earlier, on July 24, adding to the anticipation surrounding the film.
The excitement surrounding this release intensified earlier this month when Deadpool & Wolverine stars Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman met Stray Kids’ Bang Chan and Felix in person. This meeting delighted fans and sparked further enthusiasm for the film and its soundtrack.
The connection between Stray Kids and Deadpool & Wolverine dates back to 2022 when Stray Kids expressed their desire to create a song for the film during an interview with TV Guide at KCON LA. This anticipation followed years of online interactions and mutual admiration between Ryan Reynolds and the K-pop group.
The relationship between Stray Kids and Reynolds began with the group’s Deadpool-inspired performance on Kingdom: Legendary War in 2021, which caught the actor’s attention. The performance highlighted their creative and playful approach, setting the stage for future collaborations.
The announcement of “Slash” adds an extra layer of excitement to the film’s soundtrack. Fans are eagerly awaiting to hear how Stray Kids’ energetic style will blend with the film’s dynamic and adventurous tone.
As the release date approaches, anticipation is building for both the film and the soundtrack. Stray Kids’ inclusion in this major Hollywood project underscores their growing global influence and solidifies their place in the international entertainment industry.
