The X-Men have officially entered the MCU with Deadpool 3 in full force, kicking off the process of bringing mutants to the forefront. The movie is all set to bring superstars such as Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman as Deadpool and Wolverine. However, a new character is making the rounds on the internet, owing to Taylor Swift, who is rumored to be playing Dazzler, as previously hinted by movie director Shawn Levy.

The Red singer is already a huge sensation in the music universe and would be a perfect choice to play the singer-superhero. However, Lewy is not nearly ready to reveal this crucial casting information to the public.

In an interview with The Wrap for his much-awaited Netflix series All the Light We Cannot See; Shawn Levy played a masterful trick of giving away just enough without confirming anything at all. This was especially evident when he was asked about his recent attendance at the Kansas City Chiefs versus New York Jets game with the Deadpool 3 cast, and if it was a nod at Taylor Swift’s involvement. The director only affirmed that the audience would have to “wait and see.”

The director also talked vividly about the Reputation singer’s rock-solid fanbase, emphasizing that the Swifties are surely “loud.” Further, he playfully mentioned that he is not giving anything away, either MCU-related or Taylor-related, out in public to not ruin the anticipation around the movie. For the Swifties, who want to see the Love Story star on the big screen, even this discussion seemed like a hint.

The character that Swift will allegedly be playing is Dazzler, who made her first appearance in X-Men #130 in 1980. While the confirmation is yet to come through, there are many reasons why she would be a perfect Dazzler.

There has not been any official announcement from the Reputation singers’ side to confirm whether she will be a part of the movie or not. But during an interview with Entertainment Weekly in 2022, Reynolds expressed his desire for Swift’s MCU debut by saying, he would do anything for her and that “she’s a genius.” Given that Swift has already incorporated Reynolds and Blake Lively in her work, it might be Reynolds’ turn to be the same through Deadpool 3.

Other than the connection with Reynolds himself, Taylor Swift fans have presented several reasons why she would be the perfect Dazzler. From creating realistic fan art of the Grammy-winning artist as Dazzler to establishing a connection with her musical ventures, Taylor Swift seems to be built for playing the enigmatic role. However, given that Shawn Levy is unrelenting, fans will have to wait a bit more.
