Sorry, but you need to calm down about the possibility of Taylor Swift redeeming herself for Cats with an appearance in Deadpool and Wolverine.
Shortly after IMAX stoked months-long rumors with a new poster showing the titular characters holding hands and wearing friendship bracelets that have now become associated with “The Eras Tour,” Entertainment Weekly published a report squashing the idea.
Speculation about Swift’s potential appearance as Dazzler in the Marvel film reached a fever pitch in October when lead actors Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman were spotted at a Chiefs game with director Shawn Levy. Of course, they were caught on camera with Swift, who was there in support of her boyfriend, tight end Travis Kelce.
Despite Swift’s pre-existing relationships with Reynolds (through his wife Blake Lively) and Levy (who appeared in her 2021 “All Too Well” short film), fans took this to be a sign that the pop star would be in the hotly-anticipated movie.
In a recent Fandango interview, Reynolds and Levy demurred from denying the speculation, with the former saying, “Anything can happen and that’s sort of what I love about this universe. Surprises are the essence of Deadpool.”
With that in mind, we’ll find out the hard truth about Swift in Deadpool and Wolverine soon enough: the movie hits theaters in just over a month on July 26th.
Meanwhile, Swift is on the UK/European leg of “The Eras Tour” with Paramore. Get tickets here.
