Taylor Swift has long been tied to rumors regarding Marvel and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The biggest rumors started with the production of Deadpool & Wolverine, with Swift being friends with both director Shawn Levy and star Ryan Reynolds. Rumors suggested she would play Dazzler in the film – though that didn’t turn out to be the case. Now another rumor mentions the possibility of Taylor Swift being cast in a mysterious superhero role.
While fans would love to see Taylor Swift as Dazzler, something which has been discussed since X-Men: Apocalypse teased Dazzler in an album cover, it’s unclear if that’s the role Swift is allegedly interested in. As shared in a new rumor, however, the superhero role Swift is eyeing is only one of several discussions she’s said to have had in Hollywood.
According to Daniel Richtman, Swift is interested in revisiting her acting career. As a result, she’s said to be meeting with several Hollywood studios. Richtman refers to the alleged projects as follows:
“A limited series for streaming, a big sci-fi film, and a superhero role.”
This doesn’t exactly narrow down what Swift has in mind, even if the rumor turns out to be true. However, it could circle back to rumors that Swift is tied to the MCU. Interestingly, Richtman only mentions that Swift is in talks for “a superhero role,” so it’s possible that she spoke with DC Studios and Warner Bros. Discovery rather than Marvel Studios and Disney.
When one considers Swift’s ties to those already involved with Marvel, however, including Levy and Reynolds, it could very well be possible that the MCU is her main interest. Ultimately, we’ll have to see how this rumor pans out, and whether or not these discussions are even happening. It would certainly prove exciting for Marvel and Swift fans, however, if Swift did land a part in the MCU.
Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any additional updates regarding Taylor Swift and her possible MCU debut as we have them. For now, it’d certainly be great just to see Swift once again explore her acting career.
