The routine inspired by Deadpool and Wolverine’s fight steals the show at Disney night

A “Deadpool & Wolverine”-inspired dance routine that copied the hit superhero film’s main fight scene stole the show Tuesday night on “Dancing With the Stars,” all set to “Bye Bye Bye ” by NSYNC.

NFL star Danny Amendola and pair Witney Carson performed the energetic Jazz routine dressed, respectively, as Deadpool in a red suit and Wolverine in yellow. Judge Derek Hough called it “martial arts with the stars” and predicted the number would be a viral hit. The action-packed routine earned three 9s for a score of 27.

The remaining eight couples paid homage to iconic Disney characters, including Ariel, Hercules, Tarzan and Cruella de Vil. Week 6 also brought the first group dances of the season, with songs from “The Goofy Movie” and “The Lion King”.

After the solo and group dances, the three celebrities tied for the bottom of the leaderboard were NBA champion Dwight Howard, “Real Housewives” star Phaedra Parks and Olympian Stephen Nedoroscik, with 48 points each.

After viewer votes were tallied, the celebrity sent home Tuesday night was Parks. She thanked her partner Val Chmerkovskiy for being so patient with her and “allowing me to explore dance.”

“Pretty Little Liars” star Chandler Kinney was back at the top of the leaderboard with her Paso Doble, complete with spinning cape, like her “Zombies 2” werewolf character Willa. The performance was accompanied by the song “We Own the Night” and equaled Amendola’s score of 27. Given her overall season points so far, Kinney has won immunity in next week’s group dances.

Joey Graziadei and Jenna Johnson sang a jungle-themed samba to “Trashin’ the Camp” from “Tarzan.” Inaba liked how “The Bachelor” star brought the Disney character to life, but thought some of his moves were too big. Meanwhile, Hough told Graziadei he could be a “top contender” if he worked on his arm movements. The judges gave them 25 points.

Howard and Daniella Karagach sang a tango to “When Can I See You Again?” from “Wreck-It Ralph”. Carrie Anna Inaba told Howard that he made a lot of mistakes and he responded with, “Wow, take it easy.” Meanwhile, Bruno Tonioli said he “didn’t ruin” the ball. All three judges gave the athlete an 8, totaling 24 points.

Olympic rugby player Ilona Maher became the powerful Luisa Madrigal in “Encanto” and partner Alan Bersten was the donkey she lifted in a jazz routine to the character’s song “Surface Pressure.” “I really identify with Luisa,” Maher said. “She never tries to shrink herself or make herself smaller to the world.” The routine ended with Bersten sitting on Maher’s right shoulder.

Nedoroscik and Rylee Arnold performed a Charleston to “A Star Is Born” from “Hercules,” with the gymnast dressed as the Greek hero and Arnold as Meg. Despite their characteristic enthusiasm, the dance earned just 24 points.

Reality star Parks wore a black and white wig, cigarette holder and faux fur coat as “101 Dalmatians” villain Cruella de Vil, while Chmerkovskiy was dressed as one of the film’s spotted puppies. “She’s definitely sassy, ​​just like me,” Parks said of the classic character. Hough joked, “Phaedra, you can kidnap at any time” and praised the choreography as “devilishly enchanting.” The dance earned 24 out of 40 points.

“The Bachelorette” stars Jenn Tran and Sasha Farber performed a “Little Mermaid”-inspired Rumba to “Kiss the Girl” with a score of 24 points.

The dancers were then divided into two teams of eight for the first group dance of the season as they competed for extra points.

Team captain Maher led “Team Goofs”: with Kinney and “Bachelor” albums Tran and Graziadei dancing to “I2I” from “A Goofy Movie.” Tonioli declared it “elegant, synchronized and very, very bright.” The judges awarded them 27 points.

Team Roar, led by NBA star Howard, sang “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King” from “The Lion King,” which ended with the 6’10” athlete spinning Olympian Nedoroscik high above the dance floor . Amendola and Parks completed the team, which saw the celebrities doing solo moments for the first time. The group obtained a total of 24 out of 30

Dancing with the Stars airs Tuesdays at 8pm ET on ABC and Disney+. New episodes are available to stream on ABC.com and Hulu the next day.
