While Taylor Swift was tearing up stages and causing seismic waves with her Eras Tour, Marvel buffs were cooking up theories about her joining the mutant madness as a pop powerhouse. And honestly, who could blame them? She is practically a superheroine in her own right. With rumors about cameo appearances flying faster than Deadpool's quips, fans dug up enough evidence to fuel speculation about Swift's potential involvement in Deadpool & Wolverine.

After what felt like an eternity of being bombarded with the same questions, director Shawn Levy decided it was high time to offer his take on the whole shebang once and for all.

Recently at CinemaCon, Shawn Levy, the director of Deadpool & Wolverine, addressed the swirling rumors about Taylor Swift entering the MCU as Dazzler. When prodded with the same question by Entertainment Tonight, Levy could not hide his disbelief at being repeatedly asked something he could not answer, a fact he believed the entire nation was aware of at this point. Sticking to his stance, possibly influenced by Ryan Reynolds, Levy opted not to confirm or deny the rumors. 

He did, however, confess to finding the rampant speculation “fabulous”. Shawn Levy dropped a cryptic hint that the truth about all the rumors will not come out until July 26th. While remaining tight-lipped about Taylor Swift's rumored cameo, the creators of Deadpool & Wolverine did confirm at CinemaCon that Thor, played by Chris Hemsworth, will be teaming up with the mutants in the third movie. However, this is not the first time Shawn Levy ducked this question about Taylor Swift.

Shawn Levy playfully sidestepped the question during his appearance on SiriusXM's The Jess Cagle Show. He understandably avoided giving a straightforward response, jokingly stating, “It pains me to be coy with you”. Levy found himself facing the same question on Josh Horowitz's Happy Sad Confused podcast. While he opted not to provide a direct comment, he did acknowledge, "It sure escapes the lips of social media every day”.

The 55-year-old also thought Taylor Swift as Dazzler "sounds like a great idea". Similar to what he said in the recent Entertainment Tonight interview, Levy discussed the rumors swirling around cameos in Deadpool & Wolverine. While all the casting buzz is exciting, with so much speculation, it is tough to separate fact from fiction until July 26th.
