Deadpool 3 has joined the MCU after Disney acquired 20th Century Fox in 2019. In the upcoming film, Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman are returning as Deadpool and Wolverine. The movie will feature characters from previous Deadpool films and might connect the old X-Men universe to the existing MCU.
There are some rumors that Taylor Swift will make her MCU debut in a cameo role in Deadpool 3. Though an industry insider speculated about her involvement, they said that she is in the movie not as the mutant Dazzler, but as another character.
Taylor Swift Would Be in Deadpool 3 But as a Different Character
Speculation about Taylor Swift appearing in Deadpool 3 started in 2022 when Ryan Reynolds expressed his desire to have Swift in Deadpool 3 in an interview with Entertainment Tonight. He said that he’d “do anything for that woman. She’s a genius.”
And Swifties are indeed convinced that the Love Story singer might be playing the mutant hero and X-Men member Dazzler. For those who don’t know, Dazzler, aka Alison Blair, is a skilled dancer, singer, and actress with the power to transform sound into various forms and intensities of light, which she uses in combat.
The netizens have been speculating that the character of Dazzler would fit well if portrayed by the pop singer. But recently, an industry insider said, “She’s in the movie but she’s not playing Dazzler.”

While there’s no official confirmation of Swift’s involvement as Dazzler (or otherwise) in Deadpool 3, this new speculation suggests her possible cameo appearance in the movie.
Just after this post, some have started to assume her in the characters of Magik, Spider-Gwen, Emma Frost, and more, while others cannot accept the fact that she would be playing any other character than Dazzler. On these ongoing rumors, director Shawn Levy has something to say.
The Director of Deadpool 3 Broke Silence on Taylor Swift’s Appearance in the Film
The recent rumors of Swift’s role in Deadpool 3 have been on the rise. The Wrap asked director Shawn Levy about these rumors while he was promoting his Netflix series All the Light We Cannot See. The director didn’t provide a clear answer to the rumors, saying audiences will need to wait and see. He said:
“[The rumors] sure are loud. I’m going across the board. ‘No comment’ because that’s a double whammy. That’s Taylor-related. And it’s MCU-related. I’m no dummy. You’re going to have to wait and see.”
Following his cryptic comment, it indicates that Taylor Swift might not appear in the speculated role of Dazzler but maybe as another character in the upcoming film.
