Marvel’s new blockbuster was stacked with star-studded cameos. However, one rumored appearance never came to be.
What’s Happening:
- Deadline reports that Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy has finally spoken out about Taylor Swift’s rumored appearance as Dazzler in the R-rated MCU film.
- In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, he shared that the rumors were “so very loud.” He continued “I definitely had moments where I was worried I would disappoint people when they realized Taylor as Dazzler was not in the movie, but there’s no controlling the internet and rumors spread like wildfire.”
- In regards to whether Swift was to make an appearance, Levi cleared up the rumors stating “It was never a conversation. It was never even a seed of a discussion. Obviously, Ryan and Blake, and myself, to a far lesser extent, have our own relationships in real life with Taylor. But, yeah, those rumors were loud and slightly baffling, but nothing I said or did was going to make them quiet down until this movie came out.”
- Many fans believed that the mega pop star would return to the big screen as the superhero. Dazzler, who is also a pop star, is a mutant capable of turning sound vibrations into light and energy beams.
- Last month, Deapool actor Ryan Reynolds confirmed that Swift would not be in the film. However, he told E! News “I always do say that if anyone ever were to take over the role of Deadpool, actually Taylor would be very good. Because that’s a superpower that I don’t know that she shows everyone too often: She’s one of the funniest people I’ve ever met.”
- The double-digit Grammy winner gave Deadpool & Wolverine rave reviews an Instagram story. She shared “Over the past few years I have watched one of my best friends on this planet pour every bit of his heart, soul, sweat, time, energy, jokes, pain, joy, rebellion, darkness, and magic into this film. He’s created the best work of his life, and this film feels like an actual joy portal, a wild escape from reality, and an abs sandwich. I don’t know how he did it.” She continued by poking fun at Reynolds saying “But that’s just Hugh for you! These other randoms crashed the photo and we were too polite to ask them to leave. Shout out to Wade Wilson, aka my godkids’ sperm donor!”
