Deadpool & Wolverine Director Confirms Taylor Swift Cameo Was "Never a Conversation"

As a gamer who has grown up with Marvel comics and their cinematic adaptations, I must say that the recent Deadpool & Wolverine movie has been an absolute rollercoaster ride of excitement! The cameos, the action, the humor – it’s all been top-notch. However, one rumored appearance that never materialized was Taylor Swift as Dazzler.


The film featuring Deadpool and Wolverine is shattering box office records, injecting new vitality into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Despite numerous entertaining guest appearances, one highly anticipated character cameo surprisingly does not materialize.

Taylor Swift has been linked with Deadpool and Wolverine for nearly as long as Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds. With the movie now released, director Shawn Levy discusses if Marvel enthusiasts ever had a chance of seeing Swift portray Dazzler in Deadpool & Wolverine.

Shawn Levy clarified to EW that what occurred between Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Taylor Swift, and himself was never a real conversation or even the beginning of a discussion. Despite having personal relationships with Taylor in reality, the rumors about their dynamic were persistent and puzzling, he said. However, nothing he did or said could silence the rumors until the release of this movie.

Levy further clarified how the internet speculation about Taylor Swift portraying Dazzler in the movie “Deadpool & Wolverine” had gotten so widespread that it caused him some unease when it came time to execute that scene in the real film.

Levy admitted that he had concerns about letting people down when it became clear that Taylor Swift wouldn’t be playing Dazzler in the film. However, he acknowledged that you can’t control the internet, and false information can quickly escalate like a wildfire.

As a passionate gamer, I’ve noticed an intriguing trend within the fan community: theories we concoct often transform into expectations, influencing our responses to upcoming games, movies, or TV shows. This is exactly why those working on Deadpool & Wolverine might have had valid concerns about potential backlash from Taylor Swift fans. They were likely setting themselves up for disappointment by anticipating something that should never have been assumed in the first place.

Taylor Swift graciously handled the Marvel Cinematic Universe fan-casting speculations (alongside numerous other rumors) by maintaining a positive attitude. When the film Deadpool & Wolverine was released, she posted a message congratulating her friends on their work, all while playfully teasing Ryan Reynolds as well.

For several years now, I’ve witnessed my dearest friend on Earth pour every ounce of his passion, devotion, perspiration, effort, humor, struggle, happiness, defiance, shadows, and wonder into this movie. As he put it together, he’s crafted his finest masterpiece yet, and this film seems like a gateway to pure joy, an exhilarating escape from the ordinary world, and a delightful enigma. I can’t fathom how he accomplished this feat, but that’s just Hugh being extraordinary!

Deadpool & Wolverine is now in theaters.
