Are Taylor Swift and Her Cats in ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’? Ryan Reynolds Says …

Taylor Swift has a close friendship with Hollywood couple Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds and big or small, they have all collaborated with each other for their A-list jobs. Ryan is set to star in Deadpool & Wolverine with Hugh Jackman on July 26, 2024, and fans are wondering if Taylor’s cats will make an onscreen appearance in the film.

Are Taylor Swift’s Cats in ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’?

The pop star’s furry babies may not be in the newest installment of Deadpool , but they did make an appearance in Deadpool 2 . While promoting the new film, Ryan joked that he was “sued” for images of the cats in the movie.

“Yes, I had a T-shirt made. Yes, of [Swift’s cats] Meredith and Olivia on Wade’s shirt. Yeah, you know, just little details, that’s all,” the If actor said during an interview on SiriusXM's Town Hall on July 19, 2024, before fibbing that his bestie took legal action against him.

"And getting sued by a friend is tough to swallow. Also, she has just a lot of very, very powerful lawyers. I found out later those are just the paralegals. The real lawyers didn’t even bother with it,” he continued, adding, “But ... I would never do such a thing,” he added of wearing the shirt without the pop star's permission.

Taylor Swift’s ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Cameo Theories Answered

The “Cruel Summer” singer is the queen of dropping Easter eggs and fans were convinced that Ryan did the same when he promoted his film while recreating one of her looks.

On July 2, 2024, Ryan dressed as his Deadpool character and snapped a photo via Instagram Stories of himself posing like Taylor in her artwork for her 2021 album Evermore .

That said, Ryan joked that production wouldn’t have enough money in their budget to book Taylor.

“I will say once and for all that the cameo thing with Taylor. Because she’s our friend — that is not in this film,” the Waiting actor told E! News in a story published on July 22, 2024. “I always do say that if anyone ever were to take over the role of Deadpool, actually Taylor would be very good. Because that’s a superpower that I don’t know that she shows everyone too often: She’s one of the funniest people I’ve ever met.”

Ryan appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon later that day following the Deadpool & Wolverine premiere and addressed the Taylor rumors once again. While he didn’t give a hard “no” answer, Ryan did echo his previous statement, claiming that the Grammy winner would be a great “replacement” for his character.

Even though Ryan had said that Taylor wouldn’t be appearing in Deadpool & Wolverine , Swifties still held out hope. Unfortunately, their prayers weren’t answered. Taylor doesn’t have any sort of cameo in the film, despite fans thinking she might play the Dazzler or even Lady Deadpool. Although Taylor doesn’t appear, one of her best friends and Ryan’s wife does have her moment in the film. While Lady Deadpool never takes her mask off, Blake has a few lines to let audiences know it’s her.

‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ ​Is Filled With ‘Surprises’

During his chat with Jimmy, Ryan said there were “surprises” in the film rather than “cameos.”

“I would say the folks that do show up in the movie, that somehow I don’t know how we managed to keep it a secret given the internet and all this stuff, ‘cause somehow it hasn’t come out,” the Red Notice actor said. “I would say they’re 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.”

Taylor Swift Promotes ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’

Just one day before the movie hit theaters, Taylor took to her Instagram Stories on July 25, 2024, to praise Ryan and encourage her fans to buy tickets to Deadpool & Wolverine .

“Over the past few years I have watched one of my best friends on this planet pour every bit of his heart, soul, sweat, time, energy, jokes, pain, joy, rebellion, darkness and magic into this film,” she wrote alongside a group photo with director Shawn Levy , Blake, Ryan and Hugh. “He’s created the best work of his life, and this film feels like an actual joy portrayal, a wild escape from reality, and an abs sandwich.”

Taylor admitted she didn’t “know how he did it,” then joked that the tribute wasn’t actually about Ryan. “But that’s just Hugh for you!” she wrote. “These other randoms crashed the photo and we were too polite to ask them to leave.”

After she urged her fans to buy tickets for the “unspeakably awesome” movie, Taylor concluded the caption with one more joke targeted at Ryan. “Shout out to Wade Wilson, aka my godkids’ sperm donor!” Taylor wrote, referencing his character’s name in the franchise.
