“I will say this — we don’t really have cameos as much as surprises,” Reynolds said of his upcoming film ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’
Should Ryan Reynolds give up playing Deadpool anytime soon, he has one potential replacement in mind: Taylor Swift!
When Reynolds, 47, appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday, July 22 to promote his new movie Deadpool & Wolverine, the actor once again denied that his and his wife Blake Lively‘s friend Swift, 34, features in the film at all.
“I will say this — we don’t really have cameos as much as surprises. No, it’s true,” he said, after host Jimmy Fallon asked in particular if the musician cameos in the film. “I wish, Taylor — if I ever stop, she’d make a good Deadpool. Funny, funny, funny.”
Marvel Cinematic Universe fans and Swifties alike have speculated for months that Swift, whom Reynolds, Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy and costar Hugh Jackman were seen spending time with in the fall of 2023, may appear in the new movie. Entertainment Weekly previously confirmed that Swift does not appear in the film back in June.
“There are surprises,” Reynolds reiterated of what cameos Deadpool & Wolverine does feature. “I would say the folks that do show up in the movie, that somehow I have no idea how we’ve managed to keep it secret. . . I would say there are more surprises because they have beginnings, middles and ends. It’s not just like ‘Hey! There’s the person!’ and we move on. They’re there for a reason.”

On The Tonight Show, Reynolds maintained that making Deadpool & Wolverine, the third entry in his Deadpool franchise, proved one of his favorite experiences in his three decades working in film and television. The movie marks the first Deadpool entry as a Marvel Cinematic Universe film; the previous two movies were produced by 20th Century Fox, prior to Disney’s acquisition of the company in 2019.
Despite the significant hype surrounding Deadpoool & Wolverine, which reunites Reynolds and Jackman’s beloved superhero characters for the first time since 2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Reynolds joked he does not intend to play Deadpool a fourth time.
“Oh God no. My wife and children will divorce me,” he said. “Jimmy, I have no prenup with any of them. I will be capital ‘B’ broke and, in turn, probably doing Deadpool 4.”
