A separate film score album, Deadpool & Wolverine (Original Score), composed by Rob Simonsen, was released digitally on July 24 with a regular edition and a deluxe that also includes the soundtrack album. Madonna's 1989 single "Like a Prayer" is heavily featured in the film, but is excluded from the official soundtrack release; an EP, titled Deadpool & Wolverine: Madonna's "Like a Prayer" EP, was released by Warner Records on August 9, 2024.

Deadpool & Wolverine (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

Background

The soundtrack was announced on July 17, 2024, with the complete track list of 18 songs. It features contributions from NSYNC, Stray Kids, Fergie, the Platters, Huey Lewis and the News, Aretha Franklin and Green Day amongst others. Stray Kids performed the original song "Slash", which was released one day ahead of the soundtrack on July 23 as a promotional single.

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. Reynolds wanted the band to appear in a sequence in the film, but due to the 2023 Hollywood labor disputes, it was logistically impossible.

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 who performed it with Zendaya, Zac Efron, Keala Settle, and that film's ensemble cast.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Deadpool & Wolverine (soundtrack)” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Deadpool, Wolverine and soundtrack provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 12, 2026.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
