For several months, rumours have swirled about singer Taylor Swift making a cameo appearance in Deadpool 3. Some believe she'll play Dazzler, while others are convinced the Grammy-winning icon could portray Lady Deadpool; either way, it's an exciting prospect.
It's no secret that Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige is a fan of the character and this movie feels like the perfect opportunity to make this dream casting a reality. Swift is no stranger to acting after appearing in the likes of Amsterdam and Cats, and this is just the sort of show-stopping cameo Reynolds has the ability to arrange.
The buzz surrounding it would no doubt give Deadpool 3 a boost at the box office courtesy of her devoted fanbase. How can we be sure? Just look at how NFL ratings have recently spiked thanks to her appearance at Kansas City Chiefs games.
Even if Swift doesn't end up starring in Deadpool 3, the Grammy-winner looks set to make a huge impact at the box office this winter. Her Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour concert film is expected to break box office records, potentially outgrossing the likes of The Marvels and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.
Thanks to @bosslogic, we have a better idea of what Swift could look like if she suits up as the iconic Marvel Comics character in the upcoming threequel.
Dazzler first appeared in Uncanny X-Men #130 in 1980 and is a mutant with the ability to convert sound vibrations into light and energy beams, Developed as a cross-promotional, multi-media creation between Casablanca Records and Marvel Comics, she was created by a committee of Marvel staff, principally writer/editor Tom DeFalco and illustrator John Romita Jr.
Dazzler has been described as one of Marvel's most notable and powerful female heroes and is often labelled as an LGBT icon.
Alongside Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, Deadpool franchise vets Karan Soni (Dopinder), Leslie Uggams (Blind Al), Morena Baccarin (Vanessa), Stefan Kapicic (Colossus), Brianna Hildebrand (Negasonic Teenage Warhead), Shioli Kutsuna (Yukio), and Rob Delaney (Peter) are all set to return in this threequel.
Emma Corrin is expected to play Cassandra Nova, while Matthew Macfadyen will likely take on the role of a TVA agent named Paradox. It's also been confirmed that Jennifer Garner will reprise her role as Elektra, with Liev Schreiber, James Marsden, Patrick Stewart, and Ian McKellen among the many names rumoured to appear.
Deadpool 3 is currently set to be released in theaters on May 3, 2024.
