Ryan Reynolds, the main actor in Marvel’s Deadpool 3, commented on the persistent rumors that Taylor Swift might portray the Mutant Dazzler.
Fans have associated contemporary pop music sensation Taylor Swift with the character of Dazzler since the build-up to 2016’s X-Men: Apocalypse, which was produced during the time when 20th Century Fox owned the movie rights to the X-Men franchise.
Swift has never really played Dazzler in a Marvel film, although she was seen at an NFL game in early October between the Kansas City Chiefs and the New York Jets with Ryan Reynolds and Deadpool 3 director Shawn Levy. Additionally, it’s said that MCU president Kevin Feige adores Dazzler. All of this has contributed to the rumors floating around about the third Deadpool movie.
Reynolds Shakes Off Taylor Swift Questions
Speaking to the Vancouver Sun, Ryan Reynolds opened up for the first time on those fervent rumors claiming that Taylor Swift is playing Dazzler in Deadpool 3.
Reynolds took mostly the same stance towards these claims that Shawn Levy did in October – fans will need to wait and see:
“Yeah, I’ve heard that one. I love it (the gossip). I think it is a sign of how eager people are to get a peek behind the curtain in this world. Every single one of these secrets and spoilers will be revealed on July 26.”
Could Taylor Swift Actually Play Dazzler in Deadpool 3?
What are the possibilities that Taylor Swift will make an appearance in the MCU given all the rumors that she may contribute her skills to the film Dazzler?
First of all, Swift is close to Blake Lively, the wife of Ryan Reynolds. as they are well known for having been friends for a long time. In fact, this may provide Reynolds and company some inside influence in landing a part with perhaps the greatest name in pop music right now.
Moreover, early indications suggest that Deadpool 3 may grant some long-time Marvel fans’ dreams. Ultimately, in the threequel, Hugh Jackman will don the iconic yellow and blue colors of his comic book suit.
There could be other surprises in store as well, such as Channing Tatum getting an overdue crack at portraying Gambit.
So, it feels quite possible that Taylor Swift could ultimately drop in for a Dazzler cameo, especially given the length of time she’s been speculatively attached to the character. And given her white-hot popularity, her inclusion could deliver a sizable box office boost.
