Ryan Reynolds Addresses Taylor Swift Deadpool 3 Cameo Rumors
Ryan Reynolds addresses the rumors that Taylor Swift will be making a cameo appearance in Deadpool 3. Due to Disney's acquisition of 20th Century Fox, Reynolds' Merc-with-a-Mouth is finally joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Deadpool 3. The film will be R-rated, directed by Free Guy and The Adam Project's Shawn Levy, and feature the return of Hugh Jackman's Wolverine after he seemingly bid farewell to the role in 2017's Logan. Currently, there are no other confirmed members of the Deadpool 3 cast, though plenty of speculation about who might be making an appearance has already begun swirling online.
During a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight on the red carpet promoting his new movie Spirited, Reynolds addressed the rumors about Swift appearing in Deadpool 3. Unfortunately, the Wade Wilson actor shot the popular fan theory down, though considering he and his family are huge Swifties and are "obsessed" with her latest album Midnights, Reynolds said he would "of course" be down to have the singer-songwriter cameo in Deadpool 3. Read what he said below:

If we shoot the next Deadpool film in our house, then that would be that location... Are you kidding me? I would do anything for that woman. She's a genius... Oh my God, yes. All of us, whole house, I'm not kidding. I love it so much. I do, Blake does, my daughters. We love it. Obsessed.
Why Fans Thought Taylor Swift Is In Deadpool 3
This past September, Reynolds released a Deadpool 3 video in which he announced that Jackman would be returning, and the two actors answered some questions about the threequel. Eagle-eyed fans noticed the video was filmed in the same house as All Too Well: The Short Film, which was directed by Swift and starred Stranger Things' Sadie Sink and The Maze Runner's Dylan O'Brien. Those who made the connection leaped to the conclusion that Swift would be making an appearance in Deadpool 3, which isn't even close to filming yet.
Whether or not the mutual location was even meant to be an intentional Easter egg, the fan theory never held much water anyway, and now Reynolds has shot it down. Perhaps the more intriguing part of his comments is that Reynolds is open to a Swift cameo in Deadpool 3, meaning the fan theory could come true after all. Swift is not only fresh off the release of her tenth studio album Midnights, but an appearance in David O. Russell's latest film, Amsterdam, one of a few acting roles the singer-songwriter has undertaken over the years.
In the case of any other Marvel property, a cameo from Swift might be gratuitous, but not in Deadpool. The second film featured cameos from Matt Damon, Brad Pitt, Alan Tudyk, and nearly all the X-Men. Thus, Swift appearing in Deadpool 3 could continue the series' tradition of including big celebrity cameos as funny gags, especially given her close relationship with Reynolds and his family. With the MCU's Deadpool 3 still in development, there is plenty of time for Reynolds to make the cameo happen, perhaps fulfilling fans' desires to see Swift play the mutant pop star Dazzler.
