Deadpool & Wolverine Director Reacts To Rumors Taylor Swift Is Making Cameo As Dazzler

gamerant.com:

Director Shawn Levy neither denied nor confirmed the rumors that Taylor Swift would appear as Dazzler in Deadpool & Wolverine.

For months, there had been rumors suggesting that the Anti-Hero singer signed up to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe as the mutant superhero Dazzler. Alison Blaire aka Dazzler is a superheroine, who first appeared on Uncanny X-Men #130. She is often associated with X-Men and has been a fan favorite in the X-Men comics. With Marvel Studios constantly expanding its cinematic universe and introducing new characters, the idea of Swift stepping into the role of Dazzler captured the imagination of many. The Deadpool& Wolverine director was asked about the rumors, but Levy refused to give a clear response.

Entertainment Tonight's Kevin Frazier hosted the 2024 CinemaCon Big Screen Achievement Awards on Thursday and at the event, he interviewed Levy about the rumors that Swift would appear in Deadpool & Wolverine as Dazzler. The 55-year-old director repeatedly told Frazier, «I can't answer.» He acknowledged that the rumors about the cast in the film were «fabulous,» but «no one will ever know the truth until July 26.» However, the interviewer pressed on and asked «So tell us Swift is Dazzler?» Levy said:

That is hardly confirmed nor denied in this interview.

Frazier was eager to get a solid response from the director and attempted to find the answer he wanted by asking Levy again, «So Taylor Swift isn't Dazzler?» However, Levy just doubled down on his initial response and didn't confirm nor deny the rumor. Instead, he jokingly said that he would save himself; otherwise, Ryan Reynolds, who played the titular character, Deadpool, would allegedly take a hit out on him. Reynolds was also previously asked about the speculations that the billionaire pop star would appear in Deadpool 3, but he gave the same response as Levy, telling the Vancouver Sun:

I love it (the gossip). I think it is a sign of how eager people are to get a peek behind the curtain in
