Deadpool & Wolverine is set to release soon, and the buzz around the Marvel Cinematic Universe film continues to grow. Recently, a report stated that Taylor Swift will not be appearing in the movie, putting to rest a longstanding theory.
Speculation about Swift joining the Marvel universe has circulated for years, fueled initially by theories that she might portray mutant musician Alison Blaire / Dazzler during the production of X-Men: Apocalypse.
The possibility resurfaced with the production of Deadpool & Wolverine, especially since the film’s star Ryan Reynolds and director Shawn Levy, both close friends of Swift and featured in her music videos, haven’t ruled out a cameo.
The film’s marketing campaign, featuring beaded friendship bracelets, a nod to Swift’s song “You’re On Your Own, Kid,” added to the speculation. Fans speculated Swift might appear as Dazzler, Wanda Wilson / Lady Deadpool, or even a fictionalized version of herself.
With this new report, opinions are split. Some view it as confirmation that Swift won’t be in the movie, while others wonder if there’s a surprise twist akin to Andrew Garfield’s unexpected appearance.
Deadpool & Wolverine, part of a busy Marvel slate, is highly anticipated, and fans are eager to see how the film unfolds without Swift’s rumored involvement.
