This image took inspiration from the “water scene” of the 1983 movie “Flashdance.” In the scene, stripper Alex Owens (Jennifer Beals) drops a bucket of water on herself while performing on stage as part of her act.

It’s become a theme for “Deadpool” promotions to spoof some pop culture icon like the Wet on Wet teaser inspired by painter Bob Ross.

Reynolds also tweeted a spoof of Michaelangelo’s fresco painting “The Creation of Adam.” It showed Deadpool reaching out to Cable, who appears to have just come out of a portal.
