There’s a theory that in Deadpool 3 (2024), Taylor Swift will portray the superhero Dazzler. But where exactly did this rumor come from? And could it be true?

Erik Davis (of Fandango and Rotten Tomatoes) said on X (formerly Twitter) that many years ago, he had a conversation with Marvel producer Kevin Feige (and Deadpool 3 director) Kevin Feige. During the conversation, he stated that he was a big fan of Dazzler, and if he were ever to direct a film for the Marvel Universe, he would want it to focus on that specific character.

Many years ago I asked Kevin Feige if he were to ever direct his own Marvel movie, which character would he want to focus on. He said Dazzler. He’s a big fan. https://t.co/VZj7S2JL1h

This rumor dates back many years ago, in 2015, to when Taylor Swift appeared with the cast of X-men, including James McAvoy, who played Professor X; Sophie Turner, who played Jean Grey; and Simon Kinberg, who wrote X-men: Apocalypse.

Could it be True?

Fast forward to today, though, and Simon Kinberg is writing Deadpool 3…and Kevin Feige, who wanted to incorporate Dazzler into a Marvel movie, is directing it. The stars seem perfectly aligned for the theory to become a reality. However, the rumors have yet to be confirmed by anyone working on the actual project.

But Deadpool 3 will be the first Deadpool movie to officially be part of the MCU (and, therefore, the first R-rated Marvel Cinematic Universe movie). The film’s plot has been described as a road trip with Deadpool and Logan, meaning any situations, characters, and surprises could occur.

Although the upcoming movie was going to premiere on May 3, 2024, the current Hollywood strikes could cause a delay. And therefore, the delay could cause massive changes to the story, including casting and reshoots if necessary. Anything is possible. As Rachel Zegler recently reminded us, “It’s Hollywood, baby!”
