In a recent update, it was reported that Taylor Swift sat down with Marvel Studios head honcho Kevin Feige to chat about potentially joining an upcoming MCU film. The revelation came on May 20, 2024, from a reliable X source.
As of now, the post has garnered over 21 million views. Other sources on X suggest that Marvel is considering Taylor Swift for the lead role in a potential “Blonde Phantom” series, while some websites mention her being linked to the character Dazzler instead. Numerous accounts and websites credit @DanielRPK on X as the original source, which stemmed from posts on May 20 and May 21. Unfortunately, Snopes couldn’t access the accompanying Patreon articles due to a paywall. We have reached out to @DanielRPK for a response and will update this article accordingly. Snopes has also contacted Marvel Studios, Disney, and Taylor Swift’s representatives for comments.
Various news and entertainment sources, including People magazine, Teen Vogue, and The Independent, covered the rumor. In a YouTube video released on May 20, 2024, ticketing company Fandango featured an interview with actors Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, along with director Shawn Levy, discussing their upcoming film “Deadpool and Wolverine.” Journalist Jacqueline Coley mentioned to the trio at the 4:40 timestamp that there had been speculation about Taylor Swift appearing in the movie. Levy responded with a witty comment, saying they would prefer avoidance over dishonesty. Reynolds, who portrays Deadpool, commented that anything is possible in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and surprises are a key element of the franchise. The lack of confirmation from Swift, Disney, or Marvel, and no response indicating a meeting between the singer and the production company, led to the rating of this claim as “Research in Progress.” Snopes has addressed various rumors about Marvel and the MCU in the past.
