Ryan Reynolds has definitively put an end to speculation about Taylor Swift’s potential cameo in the highly anticipated Marvel Studios film, Deadpool and Wolverine. Speaking to E! News, Reynolds confirmed that Swift will not appear in the movie, despite persistent rumors fueled by her close friendship with the actor.
“I will say once and for all that the cameo thing with Taylor, because she’s our friend—that is not in this film,” Reynolds stated, aiming to quell the ongoing speculation among Swift’s fanbase, known as Swifties.
Although Swift’s involvement has been ruled out, Reynolds didn’t miss the chance to praise her talents. He jokingly suggested that if he were to ever step down from the role of Deadpool, Swift could be an excellent replacement. “I always do say that if anyone ever were to take over the role of Deadpool, actually Taylor would be very good,” Reynolds remarked, acknowledging her comedic skills. “She’s one of the funniest people I’ve ever met.”
The rumors about Swift’s potential cameo intensified after Reynolds shared a teaser for Deadpool and Wolverine that bore resemblance to Swift’s Evermore album cover. Further fueling speculation, Swift’s All Too Well music video was filmed at Reynolds’ and Blake Lively’s home, and Reynolds appeared in Swift’s You Need to Calm Down music video.
Despite these connections, Deadline recently confirmed that Swift will not be featured in the film. Director Shawn Levy also weighed in, noting that while Deadpool and Wolverine includes numerous cameos, none are designed to overshadow the film’s central narrative. “We didn’t want any of the cameos or characters to be the story of the movie,” Levy said. “But they are peppered in throughout. There’s a lot of characters.”
The buzz surrounding potential cameos continues to stir excitement among fans as the film’s release approaches, with some rumors proving accurate while others have missed the mark.
