Taylor Swift has been the talk of the town as of late due to her alleged romance with the football tight end Travis Kelce. She recently supported the famed footballer during the Kansas City Chiefs-New York Jets game at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey over the weekend. But aside from their alleged romance, the pop icon has also renewed the rumors about her possible cameo in Deadpool 3 as Dazzler after gracing the game with the upcoming movie’s main stars, Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman.
Will Taylor Swift Appear as Dazzler in Deadpool 3?
Taylor Swift’s appearance with Reynolds and Jackman has heightened the rumors of her possible cameo in Deadpool 3 as Dazzler. And to add more fuel to the fire, the film’s director, Shawn Levy, was also with them. So, what does it mean? It may only be a friendly get-together, but it can’t be denied that there have been long-standing claims that the Anti-Hero hitmaker may join the film.
Before the rumors about Deadpool 3 came, Swift was said to take the role of Dazzler in X-Men: Apocalypse and Dark Phoenix. However, nothing came to fruition, and she wasn’t seen in these movies.

But the talks continue now that Swift has become a close friend of Blake Lively, who was also at the game and the wife of Reynolds. Also, knowing that the franchise has a penchant for featuring major crossovers within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), this may not be far from happening.
However, it’s also good to note that Deadpool 3 is bound to secrecy, so no one knows who will make surprising appearances in it. To recall, Deadpool 2 surprised everyone with Brad Pitt’s cameo as Vanisher. Though it was only for a split second, it made a lot of moviegoers’ jaw drop. That said, the film may never confirm if Taylor Swift will appear as Dazzler until it hits the big screen in 2024.
The Rumors Surrounding Taylor Swift’s Possible Appearance as Dazzler in Deadpool 3
The rumors surrounding Taylor Swift’s alleged appearance in Deadpool 3 as Dazzler started in September 2022. At the time, Reynolds dropped an announcement teaser that a third Deadpool film would be made. Quickly, fans noticed that the trailer was filmed in the same location as where the Grammy winner filmed her All Too Well: The Short Film.
Again, it might mean nothing, but fans couldn’t help but see the connections between them. Hence, they firmly believed it was a hint of Swift being cast in the movie.
However, Reynolds shot down the claim in an interview with Entertainment Tonight a little later. “If we shoot the next Deadpool film in our house, then that would be that location,” he said. But his interview didn’t just end there.
It seems that lots of people seem to think that Taylor Swift will be Dazzler in the MCU.

Despite shunning the rumors, he admitted he would love to have Swift in Deadpool 3. “I would do anything for that woman. She’s a genius,” he continued.
After a year, the rumors were alive after a fan made an art featuring Swift as Dazzler. The film’s director addressed the casting claims and told Entertainment Weekly that “some of those rumors are true, and some of them aren’t.”
Is Taylor Swift Fit to Play Dazzler in Deadpool 3?
And with Taylor Swift’s recent outing with Reynolds, Jackman, and Levy, MCU fans were convinced she would play a significant part in Deadpool 3. However, there are questions if she’s fit to play Dazzler in a big movie franchise like the MCU.
Despite being known as a singer, performer, and songwriter, acting isn’t really new for the 33-year-old star. In fact, she has made several acting stints, like in Cats and Valentine’s Day, to name a few. Sure, it’s far different from playing a superhero role, but knowing Dazzler is a singer by day and a hero by night, Swift is seen as a perfect fit.

Anyhow, everyone is advised to take these assumptions with a grain of salt, as nothing is confirmed yet. Sure, many want to see Swift as part of the MCU, but no concrete evidence supports the claim. Hence, all fans can do now is wait until the movie is released.
