“We didn’t want any of the cameos or characters to become the story of the movie. But they are incorporated throughout the movie. There are a lot of characters in it,” Levy explained.
According to Deadline, addressing speculation about the film, Levy acknowledged the buzz on the Internet about various characters’ appearances and confirmed, “The Internet is abuzz with rumors about a number of characters having cameos in the movie. Some of the rumors are true, some of them are completely baseless.”
One of the most talked about cameos is a Taylor Swift cameo, fueled by a recent Instagram post from star Ryan Reynolds. Reynolds shared a photo reminiscent of the cover of Swift’s album Evermore, rekindling speculation about the singer’s involvement in Deadpool and Wolverine.
The film hits theaters on July 26, with Reynolds making a significant return as Deadpool, a role he feared he wouldn’t be able to continue in following the Disney-Fox merger.
Reflecting on this uncertainty, Reynolds admitted, “I didn’t know if I’d ever be able to play Deadpool again. It wasn’t something I would say publicly, but I didn’t know how a character like that would fit into that world. [of the MCU],
Joining Reynolds in the cast is Hugh Jackman, who is reprising his iconic role as Wolverine from the X-Men franchise. Additional cast members include Emma Corrin as Cassandra Nova and Matthew Macfadyen as Paradox, joining the star-studded line-up of Deadpool and Wolverine.
