Stray Kids To Feature On “Deadpool & Wolverine” Soundtrack
It all started with Stray Kids‘ Deadpool-inspired performance on Mnet‘s Kingdom: Legendary War, Ryan Reynolds, who plays the character of Deadpool, became a STAY.
Since then, Ryan Reynolds and Stray Kids’ leader Bang Chan became fast friends especially. They send each other autographed gifts and frequently show each other support in interviews.
Fans hoped that this friendship could also be a business relationship, so Stray Kids might feature in the upcoming Deadpool sequel.
Way back when… In March 2022, eagle-eyed STAYs noticed Ryan Reynolds had liked a tweet in which a STAY proposed Stray Kids do an OST for a Marvel film, specifically Deadpool. Knowing Ryan is also one of the producers, it seemed quite probable that this dream could be a reality.
I'll do anything to see skz do a ost for a marvel film specifically a deadpool movie 👀

In December of that year, speculation officially began that Stray Kids would be featured in Deadpool 3 (also known as Deadpool & Wolverine) after the Miss Minutes X (formerly Twitter) account asked for music recommendations, specifically songs by Stray Kids.

For context, it’s been rumored that Deadpool & Wolverine will connect to Marvel’s Loki series. In Loki, the title character is held by an organization called the Time Variance Authority (also known as TVA), which is aided by a character called Miss Minutes. This was seemingly confirmed when Miss Minutes and Ryan Reynolds interacted on X (formerly Twitter).
Ryan Reynolds has responded to Miss Minutes who is an A.I. that works for the TVA. 👀

Just a few weeks ago, STAYs were speculating again that Stray Kids have an OST in Deadpool & Wolverine after Stray Kids dropped a cinematic trailer for their highly-anticipated July 19 comeback. In the trailer, the members opened a fortune cookie that read, “Your luck no longer lasts from now on.” So, we saw the members continually end up in unlucky situations until they opened another lucky fortune cookie, returning their luck and success.
The end of the trailer showed three logos: one for Stray Kids, one for “ATE,” and another for “Chk Chk Boom.” Many were confused about what “Chk Chk Boom” is. It’s technically the sound of a gun cocking, originating from an old Aussie meme. Considering Felix and Bang Chan are both Australian, it’s likely a reference to this.
Apparently Stray Kids NEVER spoils tt name with the trailer tags so what exactly is Chk Chk Boom? They wouldn’t just use a meme without any reason. There has to be something else going on pic.twitter.com/9N1eLTWcS4

THE "CHKCHKBOOM" TAG?? 😭 this is an old australian meme https://t.co/JWuLjdsgQX pic.twitter.com/5A8Gpb6gJ4

Despite the possible meme origins of “Chk Chk Boom,” some pointed out its similarities to Stray Kids’ Deadpool-inspired Kingdom performance.
Chk chk boom sounds familiar with skz. It took me a moment to work out why pic.twitter.com/9uQTHtkO3v
— 𝓒𝓱𝓮𝓮𝓼𝓮🧀 (@Cheese_Facts143) June 18, 2024
is 'chk chk boom' a reference to 'click clack bang' from the deadpool stage for kingdom 🤔 https://t.co/dMRhqc4wcy

Many STAYs hoped Stray Kids’ upcoming comeback is connected to the forthcoming Deadpool & Wolverine. @stayhoooi shared a now-viral thread promoting this theory. Deadpool & Wolverine releases on July 26, which is shortly after Stray Kids’ comeback on July 19.
since the cb is July 19th, I may still be right!!! pic.twitter.com/vlG1j4yKan
— 🥠🏳🌈клизма? клизму жопа не хочет (@stayhoooi) June 18, 2024
Just saying but usually OSTs of movies releases a week before the actual movie…skz's cb is on July 19th, Friday… and Deadpool is releasing on July 26th, which is the following Friday…. pic.twitter.com/4kQTQ9mSa4

Many also felt that “Chk Chk Boom” had a very Deadpool-esque sound to the phrase.
Chk chk boom sounds like such a deadpool feature title : )

The imagery of Stray Kids’ comeback is also very reminiscent of Deadpool, including the same color schemes. Additionally, Ryan Reynolds is continually promoting Stray Kids.

Okay so these crumbs CANNOT be ignored.
By now you all know that I STONGLY believe that SKZ next comeback will be on the Deadpool 3 soundtrack..
Now I have more crumbs to support my case. Ryan Reynolds has just posted a IG story using Gods Menu as the sound. And Tommy Hilfiger… https://t.co/6OY6mJKPJz pic.twitter.com/IS0q0wnvni

Some also pointed out that the end of the comeback trailer features a post-credit scene, much like a Marvel film. Felix was featured with a dog whom he referred to as “Lucky dog.” Even before that, Seungmin‘s pizza was eaten by a dog. In the Marvel universe, a character known as “Lucky the Pizza Dog” was previously featured in the Hawkeye series. He is a one-eyed golden retriever that Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld) adopted.
Guys…..lucky the pizza dog is a cameo dog in the marvel multiverse……

Even as more teasers for the comeback have released, there is no denying that it does have Deadpool vibes. Yet, it’s not the OST.
Stray Kids have finally been confirmed for the Deadpool & Wolverine soundtrack. Marvel released an official tracklist for the upcoming soundtrack.

STAYs were happy to see that Stray Kids do indeed have a song included, and it appears to be an original song for the film, titled “SLASH.”
