Taylor Swift won’t be playing Dazzler in Deadpool & Wolverine.
By Timothy Adams
Taylor Swift and the Swifties won’t be joining Deadpool and Wolverine in the Marvel Multiverse after all. If there already wasn’t enough to be excited for in Deadpool & Wolverine, music and movie fans have been salivating over the rumors of Taylor Swift popping up in the first X-Men film under Marvel Studios. Deadpool & Wolverine is already rumored to have numerous cameos sprinkled throughout the flick, so it already made sense that someone on the level of Taylor Swift would show up portraying the X-Men’s musical hero Dazzler. Unfortunately, Taylor Swift, Deadpool, and Wolverine don’t appear to be a match made in box office heaven.
Entertainment Weekly reports Taylor Swift is not in Deadpool & Wolverine. No additional context was provided, though the news does come shortly after Deadpool & Wolverine revealed a host of different theatrical posters. While ComicBook exclusively revealed the ScreenX and 4DX posters for Deadpool & Wolverine, the IMAX poster takes one of the earlier posters and includes friendship bracelets around the wrists of Wade Wilson and Logan. These same bracelets have become a signature part of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour.
The relationship between Taylor Swift, Blake Lively, and Ryan Reynolds is also behind many of the rumors regarding Deadpool & Wolverine. The trio are close personal friends, with Reynolds, Lively, and Hugh Jackman attending Kansas City Chiefs football games, where Taylor is dating Chiefs Tight End Travis Kelce. Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy was also in attendance.
In a recent interview with Fandango about Deadpool & Wolverine, Reynolds addressed the deluge of rumors around Swift’s potential cameo, and argued that the various surprises the film could deliver will ultimately be exciting for fans.
“Movies like this, there’s so much speculation, so many people that might end up in the film,” Reynolds explained. “I mean, I saw one that was convinced Elvis was in the movie. Anything could happen, and that’s sort of what I love about this universe and this world. Surprises are the essence of Deadpool.”
