Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy has addressed rumours that Taylor Swift could appear in the film.The singer has been at the centre of speculation over a potential surprise appearance in the upcoming Marvel film as superhero Dazzler.However, when asked by Entertainment Tonight about the rumours, Levy replied: “That is hardly confirmed nor denied in this interview.

I’m going to literally walk out of the frame and save myself, otherwise Ryan [Reynolds]’s taking a hit [out] on me.”Speaking about his own attendance of a game to support Swift’s boyfriend Travis Kelce last year, which helped fuel speculation, the director said: “All that’s known is that I went to a football game, and those hours were well-documented and that’s all I’m gonna say.

What can I say? I think intrigue is fun.”This isn’t the first time Levy has spoken about the rumours, with the director asked about his attendance at the game last October by TheWrap.“They sure are loud,” he said. “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.”Reynolds himself addressed speculation back in November 2022, saying that Swift was not part of the cast, though he’d be open to her appearing.“Are you kidding me?” he told Entertainment Tonight.
