For years, Marvel fans have speculated that global pop superstar Taylor Swift could make a surprise appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as a mutant character. Those rumors reached a fever pitch ahead of the release of “Deadpool & Wolverine.” However, a new report from Entertainment Weekly has definitively shut down the long-running fan theory about Swift joining the MCU’s inaugural Deadpool film.
Taylor Swift’s Rumored ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Role Debunked
Despite months of coy responses from the film’s star Ryan Reynolds and director Shawn Levy, Entertainment Weekly confirms Taylor Swift is not part of the “Deadpool & Wolverine” cast. This ends years of persistent rumors that Swift could make her superhero debut as a mutant like Dazzler or Lady Deadpool.
The speculation ramped up as “Deadpool & Wolverine” marketing utilized imagery like necklaces with Thunder and Lightning bolts, symbols associated with Dazzler. Reynolds even joked in interviews that “anything can happen” when asked about surprise cameos like Taylor Swift.

What Fueled the Taylor Swift ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Fan Casting?
Several factors contributed to fans rallying behind the idea of Taylor Swift joining “Deadpool & Wolverine” and the larger X-Men world of the MCU. Her real-life friendship with Ryan Reynolds’ wife Blake Lively made some think the three may have worked together on the film.
Swift has also expressed interest in the past about potentially playing a superhero or villain someday. With her musical talents, the idea of her as the mutant superhero Dazzler with light-based powers gained major traction online.
However, the report from Entertainment Weekly has put those hopes to rest for now regarding “Deadpool & Wolverine.” While she missed out on the highly-anticipated “Deadpool & Wolverine,” the report does leave the door open for Taylor Swift to potentially join the X-Men ensemble somewhere down the line. With Marvel Studios officially rebooting the X-Men franchise after acquiring the rights from Fox, the opportunity may arise to cast Swift as a mutant in future films.
