Five New IMAX Posters Released For DEADPOOL 2 Come From a DeviantArt Challenge
Five new IMAX posters have been released for Deadpool 2 and they come from an art challenge that was hosted by 20th Century Fox, IMAX and DeviantArt. The first place winner of the contest was artist Andy Fairhurst, and his poster will be printed and displayed in select IMAX theatre lobby cases in the US and Canada.
I think it's awesome that the marketing team included the fans in helping promote the movie. These all turned out to be really fun and wild Deadpool posters that Deadpool would be proud of.
2ND PLACE WINNER – JOHN GALLAGHER – On opening night (5/17), fans who experience Deadpool 2 in select IMAX theatres will receive this art as an exclusive mini poster. Giveaways are available while supplies last and only at participating theatres.
3RD PLACE WINNER – PATRICK BROWN – Starting 5/18, fans who experience Deadpool 2 in IMAX at Regal Cinemas will receive this art as an exclusive collectible ticket, while supplies last. Plus get a free promo code to redeem for a mini poster in the Crown Club Rewards Center. Giveaways are available while supplies last and only at participating theatres.
HONORABLE MENTION – JARREAU WIMBERLY – Jarreau is a freelance illustrator and the majority of his work is in the fantasy and sci-fi genres. He believes in telling a great story while conveying emotion and excitement through his images.
COMPETITOR – ALICE X. ZHANG – Alice is a full-time freelance illustrator with an enduring interest in cinema, comics, and pop culture.
Here’s the official, nonsensical synopsis for Deadpool 2:
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.
The movie comes out on May 18th!
