The full-court marketing press for Deadpool & Wolverine has come to Formula 1, with the BWT Alpine Team showing off the new car design inspired by the new movie.

With the film set to release this week, the BWT Alpine car that will be used for the Belgian Grand Prix on Sunday will be colored red and black with yellow claw marks and movie title on both sides.

Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly will be driving the custom cars this weekend.

Ryan Reynolds, who portrays Deadpool in the films, invested in the Alpine team last year. Along with It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia star Rob McElhenney, Reynolds' investment group acquired a 24 percent stake in the team for $218 million.

Soon after the investment was approved, Ocon wore a Deadpool helmet for the inaugural F1 race at Las Vegas in November 2023.

The timing of the movie's release worked out well because Sunday will mark the final F1 race before a three-week break for the Olympics. The next event will be the Dutch Grand Prix on Aug. 25.

The Alpine team enters the Belgian Grand Prix ranked eighth in the team standings. Ocon and Gasly have combined for seven top-10 finishes in 13 races.

Deadpool & Wolverine marks the third film in the Deadpool series. It is the first film in the series to be part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Hugh Jackman will portray Wolverine in a movie for the 10th time and first since Logan was released in 2017.
