Blake Lively Speaks Out Amid Lady Deadpool Rumors

It can and cannot be certain, but MCU fans are hopeful. Even Ryan Reynolds‘ recent Instagram post has sparked fan theories about her role in Deadpool & Wolverine.
After the release of the Deadpool 3 teaser, Reynolds took to Instagram. The Deadpool 3 star shared a photo of himself watching the teaser and wrote a mysterious caption: “Has everyone seen the #Deadpool trailer? Also, has anyone seen my wife?”
Some fans saw it as a joke about Blake Lively being seen at the Super Bowl in Las Vegas with Taylor Swift, as shown on TV. Meanwhile, others interpreted it as a possible hint from Reynolds about his wife’s cameo in Deadpool 3.
The 47-year-old also posted on his Instagram stories, writing he “found” his wife. He mentioned she wore Deadpool and Wolverine friendship charms from the film’s poster as a bracelet to the game.
After her husband’s social media posts and stories, even The Shallows actress has something to share. Today, she took to her Instagram and posted a story writing, “Honey, I’m home. My day was good, how was yours?”
In the story, the Tarzana native is seen wearing a red shrug next to a TV playing the Deadpool 3 trailer featuring Deadpool in it. These short but meaningful interactions might suggest Lively’s role in the upcoming Deadpool flick.
Previous Rumors About Lady Deadpool’s Appearance in Deadpool 3
Earlier, rumors online suggested that Taylor Swift might play Lady Deadpool in the upcoming third Deadpool movie. In 2022, rumors started after a leaked photo (via QuiadVacuo) showed the pop singer in a Deadpool costume. Soon, industry insider Daniel RPK dismissed the rumors, stating Swift wasn’t cast.
The 34-year-old Lover artist was also rumored for the role of Dazzler, but no official confirmation or credible sources supported it. Another actress, Bella Thorne, was also rumored for the role after she expressed interest in an interview with Comic Book Movie.
A previous report from the same industry insider Daniel RPK (via Patreon) claimed that Earth-3010’s Lady Deadpool will appear as a variant in Deadpool 3 and that she will “look exactly like she does in the comics.”
However, Blake Lively hasn’t been confirmed as Lady Deadpool in the movie yet. But, the 36-year-old would be an intriguing choice for the role, considering her marriage to Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds.
Deadpool & Wolverine will release in theatres on July 26, 2024.
