Deadpool 3 director Shawn Levy has responded to rumours that Taylor Swift could make a cameo in the new movie… and he certainly hasn't put them to bed.

The pop superstar is speculated to make an appearance in the upcoming Marvel movie as superhero Dazzler, who has the ability to turn sound into light beams and energy.

The rumours hit overdrive recently after she was seen attending a football game at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey with Deadpool 3 stars Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, as well as Levy.

Speaking about the event, the director was asked about all the chatter, admitting to TheWrap that Swift's fans "sure are loud" with demands to see her play Dazzler.

“I’m going across the board. ‘No comment’ because that’s a double whammy," he went on to tease. "That’s Taylor-related. And it’s MCU-related. I’m no dummy. You’re going to have to wait and see.”

Whether or not she appears, Swift is already ruling over the world of movies at the moment with her Eras Tour concert film, which was released last week.

The film has already become the biggest-ever concert movie in the US, taking in $123.5 million globally over its first weekend. Before its release, it broke the record for the biggest single-day pre-sale takings for cinema chain AMC, earning $26 million in three hours.

The movie documents Swift's ongoing tour, and has also become a big hit with critics, debuting to an impressive 100% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Deadpool 3 recently paused production due to the ongoing Hollywood actors' strike, and had completed half of its filming.

Deadpool and Deadpool 2 are streaming on Disney+. Deadpool 3, starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, has a release date of May 3, 2024.
