Summary
Deadpool 3is getting the same treatment as every other multiversal superhero movie, as it is plagued with rumors of potential cameos. However, this rumor might be the wildest yet: Taylor Swift as an X-Men character.
When it was announced that Hugh Jackman would return to the role of Wolverine inDeadpool 3, fans started to speculate who else may appear in the film. Most of theDeadpool 3rumors include actors returning from Fox’s X-Men franchises, but some includecharacters like Channing Tatum’s Gambit, who never got to appear on the big screen.

Last Friday,The DisInsideruploaded a video to YouTube about which characters will appear inDeadpool 3. One of those characters will beDazzler played by Swift. Dazzler is a popular singer who is also a mutant and an occasional member of The X-Men with the power to convert sound and project light. Dazzler made her first and only live-action appearance inX-Men: Dark Phoenix, played by Halston Sage. At first glance, Swift as Dazzler seems strange and unlikely, but there is some evidence to back up this rumor.
Swift has appeared in multiple feature films such asCats(2019) andAmsterdam,andRyan Reynolds and his wife Blake Lively are good friends with Swift. Some of Swift’s fans thought Reynolds had teased her role in the thirdDeadpoolfilm when he used the same location as herAll Too Well: The Short Filmto film his reveal that Jackman will be in the movie. Reynolds denied this rumor but did say thathe wants Swift inDeadpool 3, saying, “I would do anything for that woman. She’s a genius.”
Fans are divided about this casting if it is true. Some fans are excited, as they love Swift and would love to see her appear in the MCU. Others are hesitant, as they would rather have someone who has more acting experience. There is no information about how significant her role inDeadpool 3would be, but with how big of a fan Reynolds is, expect at least one musical performance.
Swift and MCU fans may have to wait until after 2024 to see her performance in the film, asDeadpool 3’s release date is seemingly delayed. Furthermore, there is no confirmation of Swift’s role in the film, and there will most likely not be any confirmation for a while, as the actors' strike has shut everything down.
