The soundtrack was announced on July 17, 2024, with the complete track list of 18 songs. [2] [3] It features contributions from NSYNC, Stray Kids, Fergie, the Platters, Huey Lewis and the News, Aretha Franklin and Green Day amongst others. [4] [5]
Stray Kids, who competed and placed first in the Korean music reality show Kingdom: Legendary War (2021) performed a mashup of " God's Menu" and Blackpink's " Ddu-Du Ddu-Du" with Felix dressed as Deadpool, thereby paying homage to the character and the film; the band and Ryan Reynolds, who plays Deadpool, shared a mutual rapport in social media platforms. [6] Reynolds wanted the band to appear in a sequence in the film, but due to the 2023 Hollywood labor disputes, it was logistically impossible. [7]
The film and the soundtrack also featured " The Greatest Show" from the soundtrack of The Greatest Showman (2017), which also starred Wolverine actor Hugh Jackman and performed it with Zendaya, Zac Efron, Keala Settle and the film's ensemble cast. [8] The 1978 single " You're the One That I Want" performed by John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John for the soundtrack to Grease (1978) was also heard in the film. [4] As the rumours of the Taylor Swift's cameo had been debunked, her songs were not featured in the album and the film. [2]
Pete Hammond of Deadline Hollywood wrote "Musically, though, it is the needle drops that really rock". [9] Vicky Jessop of Evening Standard and Cory Woodroof of For The Win (USA Today) called it as "excellent" and "winningly brash". [10] [11]

Rob Simonsen composed the film score after previously working with director Shawn Levy on The Adam Project (2022) and the fourth season of Stranger Things. Simonsen admitted that the film's "exhaustingly funny" tone and irreverence guided his musical landscape where "in some ways, the stakes [for me] are less — they’re pretty high — but just the ability to have fun"; [20] the film experiences numerous tonal shifts, where it goes from orchestral and emotional, to wacky and weird, admitting it as a "pretty broad canvas to be able to paint on". [20] Simonsen never met Levy in person and the latter supervised the film score through Zoom and FaceTime. [20]
Zanobard Reviews assigned 6/10 to the score and wrote "Rob Simonsen’s Deadpool & Wolverine score is… an interesting effort, for sure [...] But the main theme is kinda not as interesting as you’d want it to be, the action is a tad generic and the quieter moments are just kind of all right so overall – it’s difficult to have much to say about it." [21]
All music composed by Rob Simonsen except where noted. [22]
