Deadpool 3 director Shawn Levy has responded to the rumor that Taylor Swift may appear in the superhero movie as the character Dazzler. Reporter Josh Horowitz asked Levy on the Happy Sad Confused podcast if the name Dazzler has escaped anyone’s lips when he’s been in a room with Swift.
Levy wouldn’t comment directly, saying he didn’t want to contribute to potential misinformation. But he did say, “It sure escapes the lips of social media every day.” He added that Swift playing Dazzler “sounds like a great idea.”
Commenting generally about rumors regarding cameos in Deadpool 3, Levy said, “I love the proliferation of casting rumors around my movie. There are so many that it’s impossible to know what’s real and what’s made up.”
