Exclusive: Deadpool 3 Director Breaks Silence on Taylor Swift Casting Rumors!

Highlights

The release date for Deadpool 3 might be at risk as filming delays arising from the strikes by WGA and ongoing SAG-AFTRA have cast doubts on adhering to the existing schedule.

Director Shawn Levy remained tight-lipped about the speculation surrounding Taylor Swift's potential role in Deadpool 3, leaving fans uncertain about her possible depiction as Dazzler. As production for Deadpool 3 reaches the midway point, the ongoing actors' strike looms as a potential obstacle, possibly causing a delay in the anticipated release date of May 2024, much to the disappointment and restlessness of fans eagerly awaiting the thrilling performances by Reynolds and Jackman.

Director Shawn Levy has addressed the rumors surrounding Taylor Swift's involvement in Deadpool 3. However, he has also expressed concern over potential delays in the film's release due to ongoing strikes by the WGA and SAG-AFTRA. The anticipation for Deadpool 3 is high, but the uncertain situation with the strikes has raised doubts about whether the movie will be able to meet its current release date. This could also mean a longer wait for fans hoping to see beloved characters, such as past X-Men villains and Swift, make an appearance.

During an interview with The Wrap, Levy remained tight-lipped about Swift's rumored role as Dazzler in Deadpool 3. Declining to confirm or deny the speculation, the director deflected by saying, "They sure are loud. I’m going across the board. ‘No comment’ because that’s a double whammy. That’s Taylor-related. And it’s MCU-related. I’m no dummy. You’re going to have to wait and see."

Levy disclosed that production for Deadpool 3 has reached the halfway point. However, the ongoing actors' strike might cause a delay in the expected May 2024 release date. Levy remains hopeful and intends to resume filming once the strike is resolved. Nevertheless, it is uncertain if the highly anticipated sequel will be ready on time. Levy expressed uncertainty regarding an official release date, stating, "I wish I knew. I don't even know if we officially have [a release date]. I know we were going to be on May 3. Certainly, the actors' strike and the long pause in production have put that release date at true risk. We've shot half the movie. I've edited half the movie. We're eager to get back to work and release this film next year."

Rumors about Swift's involvement in the upcoming film gained momentum when she was spotted at a football game with Levy, Ryan Reynolds, and Hugh Jackman, who portrays Wolverine. Fans are eager to see Taylor Swift join the Marvel Cinematic Universe and play a significant role. The success of her concert film, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, attests to her popularity, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe would undoubtedly gain numerous new fans if the musician becomes part of the franchise.

Fans are eagerly anticipating the release of Deadpool 3 on its scheduled date of May 3, 2024, as they cannot wait to witness the thrilling and comedic onscreen chemistry between Reynolds and Jackman while they battle nefarious villains.
