20th Century Fox has just made a genius marketing move to coincide with the releases of both the Two Year Anniversary Blu-ray edition of DEADPOOL and tomorrow's theatrical release of DEADPOOL 2. Deadpool's masked mug is now plastered all over the place in the home video section of Walmart stores, as the slipcovers on the Blu-rays of the Fox films ASSASSIN'S CREED; CAST AWAY; EDWARD SCISSORHANDS; FIGHT CLUB; THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY; LOGAN; MY COUSIN VINNY; OFFICE SPACE; PREDATOR; REVENGE OF THE NERDS; SPEED; THE TERMINATOR; WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES; X-MEN: APOCALYPSE; X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST; and X-MEN: FIRST CLASS have been replaced with "photobombed" variations of the key art with Deadpool in place of the films' stars.

I've included a look at the Deadpoolized slipcovers for some of the more Arrow in the Head-relevant titles in this article. IGN got the exclusive first look at the covers, so to see the whole set you can click over there. If you'd like to pick up some of these Deadpool covers for your own collection, head out to your nearest Walmart or just go over to Walmart.com.

Directed by JOHN WICK's David Leitch from a screenplay by Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, and Ryan Reynolds, DEADPOOL 2 stars Reynolds, Josh Brolin, Morena Baccarin, Zazie Beetz, and Brianna Hildebrand. The film's completely nonsensical official synopsis: 

After surviving a near-fatal bovine attack, a disfigured cafeteria chef (Wade Wilson) struggles to fulfill his dream of becoming Mayberry’s hottest bartender while also learning to cope with his lost sense of taste. Searching to regain his spice for life, as well as a flux capacitor, Wade must battle ninjas, the yakuza, and a pack of sexually aggressive canines, as he journeys around the world to discover the importance of family, friendship, and flavor – finding a new taste for adventure and earning the coveted coffee mug title of World’s Best Lover.
