fans have a wild theory that she’s set to appear in Deadpool 3, alongside friend as a member of the X-Men.

Swifties love to , with the High Infidelity singer teasing her plans with endless eggs and teasers.

Even the most out there theories have been proven true, with Taylor recently announcing exactly when fans predicted.

Her silence since the has swifties on high alert for any possible announcements, with a supposed scheduled Instagram post causing rumblings.

One of the most popular theories in Swiftland right now is that Taylor is actually about to make her Marvel debut in

While it might sound out there, this is not as random as it seems so hold on to those tinfoil hats as we jump feet-first into this Taylor Swift Deadpool 3 theory.

The State of Grace singer is rumoured to be donning the spandex and appearing as Dazzler in the .

The character, real name Alison Blaire, is able to create light and energy beams through sound vibrations and first teamed up with the X-Men in 1980.

She is a mutant and one of the numerous X-Men but lives a very public life as a pop star, singing to crowds of thousands as sparks fly.

Dazzler might sound familiar to dedicated Marvel fans as she did appear, albeit briefly, in the X-Men spin-off Dark Phoenix as a student of Professor X in the 80s.

This incarnation was not portrayed by the Don’t You hitmaker but Halston Sage in the Sophie Turner-led film.

Marvel isn’t fussed about recasting roles, especially such a fleeting appearance when there’s a whole multiverse of possibilities out there so Dazzler having already debuted is no issue.

Deadpool is even freer with this as he has not firmly cemented himself in one particular universe and has made meta references to different iterations of the X-Men.

Ryan also has a habit of bringing lesser-known X-Men into the films, looking at you Negasonic Teenage Warhead.

Dazzler bears a striking resemblance to the blonde singer and even sometimes wears a mirrorball necklace – the first very tenuous clue as Taylor has a song titled Mirrorball.

Why do fans think Taylor Swift will be Dazzler?

Okay, we admit the mirrorball is a very weak connection so let’s look at the stronger links.

First up Taylor has been very openly dipping her toes into acting, including The Lorax (2012), Amsterdam (2022), and her haunting turn in Cats (2019).

Swifties will also fondly remember her spin as loved-up teenager Felicia in Valentine’s Day (2010) alongside then-boyfriend Taylor Lautner.

Secondly, she is with Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, wearing his Deadpool costume to a Halloween party in 2016.

Ryan has a habit of bringing his friends into Deadpool to the absolute joy of fans – case and point .

So this lays the table for the possibility but that’s where things begin to get cryptic.

Taylor’s directorial debut All Too Well: The Short Film is thought to have been shot, at least in part, in Ryan and Blake’s home.

Matching stained glass windows and bookcases gave away the location to fans but Ryan chose to in the living room with the All Too Well hallway as a backdrop.

To untrained swifties, this might sound insane but Taylor is incredibly purposeful in her Easter eggs and hints so no connection can be ruled out.

Ryan did address these rumours last year when they first emerged, shooting down the theory but said he would love to have her star in the film.

‘Are you kidding me?” he questioned . ‘I would do anything for that woman. She’s a genius.’

This didn’t dissuade fans as actors and those involved in films will often deny big twists to keep things under wraps.

Adding fuel to the fire, Rotten Tomatoes’ Erik Davis quote-tweeted the theory and added a little teasing memory about Marvel Studios head honcho Kevin Feige.

He wrote: ‘Many years ago I asked Kevin Feige if he were to ever direct his own Marvel movie, which character would he want to focus on.

‘He said Dazzler. He’s a big fan.’

Fans have been taking this rumour as gospel but with Taylor’s busy schedule over the next year on her sold-out Eras Tour it is a shakey theory.

Would it be perfect casting? Absolutely, but we’re not going to hold out too much hope, she’s a mastermind but this might be too far.

Metro has reached out to Taylor Swift and Ryan Reynolds’ representatives for comment.
