‘Bye Bye Bye’
One of the most popular needle drops inDeadpool & Wolverinecomes during the opening credits, as Deadpool faces off against the TVA agents trying to detain him.

On the Monday after the movie’s opening weekend, Ryan Reynolds revealed that he was not the one dancing in the suit dancing to the pop hit, but instead, it was choreographerNick Pauley. Funnily enough, this same song also briefly appeared in another X-Men movie,X2: X-Men United, which is heard briefly on the radio, much to Wolverine’s disgust.
