Rumors of Swift's involvement in Deadpool 3 have been circulating for years, with evidence such as shared filming locations and Kevin Feige's interest in a Dazzler-centric film increasing speculation.

Marvel Studios' Deadpool 3 has been rumored to be featuring a cameo appearance from Taylor Swift, and director Shawn Levy has finally commented on this speculation. Deadpool 3 was confirmed to be in development for the MCU following Disney's acquisition of 20th Century Fox was finalized in 2019. Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman are reprising their roles of Deadpool and Wolverine from Fox's X-Men franchise, and Deadpool 3's cast will also include several other characters from previous Deadpool films. Expected to be somewhat set in Fox's old X-Men universe, there is also speculation that Deadpool 3 will include many cameos, including one from pop icon Taylor Swift.
In recent weeks, rumors of Taylor Swift's involvement in Deadpool 3 have only increased, prompting The Wrap to ask Deadpool 3 director Shawn Levy about the rumors during his promotion of his upcoming Netflix series All the Light We Cannot See. Levy remained coy about the rumors, expanding on his brief "no comment" by noting that audiences will simply "have to wait and see." Marvel Studios has become notorious for shrouding the MCU's projects in secrecy, and Taylor Swift's inclusion in Deadpool 3, potentially as the mutant singer Dazzler, is something they'd certainly want to keep close to their chest.

[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.

Theories surrounding Taylor Swift's involvement in Deadpool 3 have been circulating for years, beginning soon after a teaser of Deadpool 3 shared by Ryan Reynolds appeared to be shot in the same location as Swift's All Too Well: The Short Film. During a 2022 interview with Entertainment Tonight, Reynolds shot down the location theory, but noted that he'd love to see Swift in Deadpool 3, mentioning that he'd "do anything for that woman. She's a genius." Later, Fandango's Erik Davis revealed that Marvel Studios' chief Kevin Feige wanted to direct a Dazzler-centric film, raising suspicion even further that Swift could be playing the superstar mutant in the MCU.
These rumors picked up again in October 2023, when The Athletic's NFL Insider Dianna Russini shared a video of Deadpool 3's Shawn Levy, Ryan Reynolds, and Hugh Jackman walking into the MetLife Stadium for a game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the New York Jets. The MCU trio were joined by friends and family, as well as Taylor Swift herself. This sparked new speculation that Swift would be involved with Deadpool 3 in some capacity, even though production on the Phase 5 project has been paused amid the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike. After Levy's coy comments, it's very possible that Taylor Swift could be appearing in 2024's Deadpool 3.
