Taylor Swift and Deadpool: A Rumour That Went Sour

Introduction

When rumours started swirling that Taylor Swift might have a cameo in the upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine movie, fans were ecstatic. After all, Swift is one of the biggest pop stars in the world and she has a close relationship with Ryan Reynolds, who plays Deadpool. However, as the movie’s release date approached, Reynolds and director Shawn Levy both denied the rumours, assuring fans that Swift was never involved in the project.

The Rumours Begin

The rumours about Swift’s potential cameo started in the lead-up to the movie’s release. Fans speculated that she could appear as either Dazzler or Lady Deadpool, two popular characters from the X-Men comics. The rumours were fuelled by the fact that Swift is a fan of the X-Men and has previously expressed interest in playing Dazzler.

Reynolds and Levy Deny the Rumours

As the rumours gained traction, Reynolds and Levy both took to social media to deny them. Reynolds joked on The Tonight Show that Swift would make a good Deadpool if he ever stopped playing the role. However, he made it clear that there was no truth to the rumours that she was in the movie.

Levy was more emphatic in his denial, telling Entertainment Weekly that Swift was “never even a seed of a discussion” for the role. He added that he was “slightly baffled” by the rumours, but that he understood how they could spread like wildfire on the internet.

Swift’s Response

Despite the denials from Reynolds and Levy, Swift did not publicly comment on the rumours until after the movie was released. She took to Instagram Stories to praise Reynolds’ performance in the film and to jokingly tease Hugh Jackman, who plays Wolverine.

While Swift did not confirm or deny the rumours about her potential cameo, her silence seemed to indicate that there was nothing to them.

A Quiet Cameo

While Taylor Swift did not appear in Deadpool & Wolverine, another pop star did have a small cameo in the film. The singer-songwriter Kid Cudi appears as a member of the X-Men.

Cudi’s cameo is brief, but it is a welcome addition to the film. It is a reminder that even though Swift did not appear in the movie, there are still plenty of other talented artists who are happy to lend their support to the Deadpool franchise.

Conclusion

The rumours about Taylor Swift’s potential cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine were just that: rumours. While it would have been great to see Swift in the movie, it is understandable that she was not able to participate. She is one of the busiest stars in the world and she has a lot of other commitments.

Despite the lack of a Swift cameo, Deadpool & Wolverine is still a great movie. Reynolds and Jackman are both excellent in their roles and the film is full of action, humour, and heart. If you are a fan of the Deadpool franchise, then you will definitely want to check out this movie.
