As Marvel fans wait for Deadpool 3 to resume production, rumors and reports have been sparking like wildfire. One particularly popular rumor revolves around Taylor Swift and her alleged involvement as Dazzler in the MCU film. Now Deadpool 3 director Shawn Levy has finally responded to rumors that Taylor Swift could appear.
Levy had a conversation with The Wrap regarding the rumors. One of the biggest reasons for them has been Levy’s recent appearance at a Kansas City Chiefs versus New York Jets game. This is because he also attended the game with stars Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman. Swift happened to be at the game as well, which only added fuel to the fire.
Here’s what Levy had to say about fans that believe the rumors to be true:
“They sure are loud,” Levy began. “I’m going across the board. ‘No comment’ because that’s a double whammy. That’s Taylor-related. And it’s MCU-related. I’m no dummy. You’re going to have to wait and see.”
Of course, he doesn’t confirm that the rumors could be true. But he also doesn’t deny them. As such, the possibility for Taylor Swift to appear as Dazzler in Deadpool 3 is still very real. For those unfamiliar, Dazzler is a X-Men character that happens to be a mutant and a singer. As such, Swift would certainly be the perfect celebrity to tackle such a role. Especially with her growing popularity following the success of her Eras Tour.
Shawn Levy is directing Deadpool 3 which will once again star Ryan Reynolds as the titular character. Hugh Jackman will also appear to reprise his role as Wolverine. The film was previously scheduled to be released in 2024, though that could change as a result of the strikes.
Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any additional updates on Taylor Swift and Deadpool 3 as we have them. Hopefully we’ll have a clearer idea as to what’s true or not once the film resumes production. In the meantime, these rumors are certainly enough to keep fans talking.
