'Deadpool 2' poster hilariously channels... 'Flashdance'?!
Take your passion. And make it happen. Ryan Reynolds knows his movie history.
Reynolds reference to Flashdance in Deadpool 2's latest poster could just be a cute visual riff. Orrrrr... it could be a nod to the unexpected success of Flashdance, a critically reviled 1983 film that turned into a box office smash, and the third-highest grossing release of that year.

Sort of like a little R-rated superhero production called Deadpool, released in early 2016 -- a time of year when movies are usually sent to die. The first Deadpool finished the year in the #6 spot in the box office, earning more than $783 million worldwide.
Will Deadpool 2 beat its predecessor and claim the coveted #3 spot among 2018's box office winners? Eh. Maybe. Who cares? It'll be a blast no matter what.
Deadpool 2 hits theaters on May 18.
