Deadpool & Wolverine Director Shawn Levy Addresses Those Taylor Swift Casting Rumors

As a film enthusiast who has spent countless hours poring over rumors and speculations, I must admit that I was genuinely intrigued by the Taylor Swift-Deadpool & Wolverine casting rumor. The idea of seeing her in a superhero movie was as unexpected as finding a Shake Shack in the Sahara. However, now that director Shawn Levy has finally put the speculations to rest, I can’t help but feel a tinge of disappointment.


With the blockbuster success of Deadpool & Wolverine, earning $824 million in its initial weeks, director Shawn Levy is shedding light on a casting rumor that created quite a stir among fans even before the movie’s release. Although the film boasts an illustrious ensemble including Wesley Snipes, Channing Tatum, Jennifer Garner, and Blake Lively, one star was conspicuously missing: Taylor Swift.

As someone who has navigated through the labyrinthine world of online rumors and speculation, I can attest that the internet has a knack for creating a smokescreen of half-truths and falsehoods. The unrelenting flood of information, both accurate and inaccurate, makes it challenging to discern reality from fiction. This phenomenon has become an integral part of modern life, blurring the lines between truth and deception, and leaving many of us unsure of what is actually happening. It’s a frustrating experience, but one that we must navigate with caution and critical thinking in order to make informed decisions about our lives.

It was speculated that Taylor Swift might feature in the movie due to her close bond with both Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively. Since they are the godparents of their children, it’s no secret that Swift and Lively have been quite close since 2015. Despite leading separate lives, these two seem to stick together like glue. Fans of Taylor Swift started discussing her potential role in Deadpool & Wolverine as early as mid-2023, with director Shawn Levy even stirring up excitement by saying, “Well, isn’t mystery exciting?”

As a fan, I can confirm that while Swift might not be featured in the upcoming film “Deadpool & Wolverine,” there’s still an impressive lineup of cameos, such as Blade, Gambit, Elektra, and Johnny Storm. Contrary to what one might think, it didn’t involve much persuasion to get all these talented actors on board for the project. According to director Levy, once everyone understood the vision for the movie, it was surprisingly easy to get everyone aligned and excited about being part of this new adventure.

As a devoted film enthusiast, I can confidently say that in nearly all instances, the unexpected castings in this motion picture were primarily initiated by myself or Ryan. We contacted the actors directly, even before their legal representatives got involved. To put it simply, we asked, and more often than not, we received a resounding ‘yes.’

Regarding Swift, she’s all set to make her debut as a feature film director, and Levy, who played a minor role in her Academy Award-winning short film “All Too Well”, has drawn comparisons between her and a renowned figure in Hollywood: Steven Spielberg. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly last year, he praised Swift saying she “shows great potential to become a fantastic director.”

“Taylor’s vision for her creative work, be it lyrics, melodies, concert tours, videos, is deeply insightful and powerful. Her convictions are strong, reminiscent of Steven Spielberg on the set of ‘Real Steel’, where he said a shot was right if he saw it that way. In essence, Taylor seems to have mastered trusting her intuition, a trait that suggests she could be an outstanding director in the future.”

Production on Taylor Swift’s upcoming film has yet to be scheduled, given that she’s currently immersed in the European phase of her Era Tour, which has already amassed an incredible $1 billion in earnings. It’s uncertain if her box office prowess will match her musical success, but with her dedicated fanbase (Swifites), it’s likely her debut movie will become a blockbuster hit.
