Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman are really ramping up their promotion for forthcoming Marvel film Deadpool & Wolverine. The duo’s latest appearance comes in the music video for Stray Kids‘ new single, “Chk Chk Boom,” which sees the actors pretending to be a weather man and a news anchor on a fictional network.
In the clip, the actors’ antics book-end the band performing the track on rooftops and city streets (with some very impressive dance moves). “Chk Chk Boom” is the lead single off Stray Kids’ new mini-album, ATE, which also dropped today. Although Reynolds and Jackman are in this particular music video, Stray Kids actually lent a different song, “Slash,” to the soundtrack of Deadpool & Wolverine
The eight-member K-pop group have a history with Deadpool and with Reynolds. In 2021, Stray Kids completed on Korean music reality show Kingdom: Legendary War, during which they performed mashup of their hit song “God’s Menu” and Blackpink’s “DDU-DU DDU-DU” with an homage to Deadpool. It caught the notice of Reynolds, who started a dialogue with the band on social media.
Earlier this month, Reynolds and Jackman connected with the musicians while promoting their movie in South Korea. Reynolds posted a video of him hanging out with two of the band members, Felix and Bang Chan, which he captioned, “As they say in Seoul: Chk Chk Boom.”
The soundtrack for Deadpool & Wolverine, in theaters July 26, also features Jackman’s own “The Great Show” from The Greatest Showman, The Goo Goo Dolls’ “Iris,” ‘NSync’s “Bye Bye Bye,” and more.
Earlier this year, Stray Kids teamed up with Charlie Puth for a collaborative single, “Lose My Breath.” It’s all part of an extremely busy year the group teased in January, which includes two albums and a world tour.
