Taylor Swift was never in talks for a cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine.In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the director was asked how he feels in hindsight about the rumours that were going around in the run-up to the movie’s release.“It was so very loud,” he said. “I definitely had moments where I was worried I would disappoint people when they realized Taylor as Dazzler was not in the movie, but there’s no controlling the internet, and rumors spread like wildfire.

It was never a conversation. It was never even a seed of a discussion. Obviously, Ryan [Reynolds] and Blake [Lively], and myself, to a far lesser extent, have our own relationships in real life with Taylor.

But, yeah, those rumors were loud and slightly baffling, but nothing I said or did was going to make them quiet down until this movie came out.”Swift has been rumoured to be joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) for some time now, and there’s been a lot of speculation over X-Men character Dazzler in particular.
