Over the past few months, whispers have been circulating that Swift would be making her Marvel debut in Deadpool & Wolverine as Dazzler, a member of the X-Men, or Lady Deadpool, a variant of Deadpool. Last fall, the internet went into a frenzy when Swift was spotted with Deadpool & Wolverine’s Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, and Shawn Levy at a New York Jets versus Kansas City Chiefs game to watch Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce.

Though not expected to appear in Deadpool & Wolverine, Swift could join the MCU in another project. A recent report from Daniel Richtman revealed that Swift discussed playing the titular role in The Blonde Phantom with Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige. The Blonde Phantom reportedly stems from producer and former MCU star, Scarlett Johansson.

Even without Swift, Deadpool & Wolverine is still on track to become the movie event of the summer. Deadpool & Wolverine marks the highly anticipated MCU debut of Reynolds’ Wade Wilson and Jackman’s Wolverine.

In the film, Deadpool is pulled into a new mission by the Time Variance Authority (TVA). “With his home universe facing an existential threat, Wilson reluctantly joins with an even more reluctant Wolverine on a mission which will change the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe,” the logline reads.

Directed by Levy, Deadpool & Wolverine is the first Marvel film of 2024. It is scheduled to be released in theaters on July 26, 2024.

Scarlett Johansson shares disappointing update on Black Widow and Marvel

Scarlett Johansson points a gun.

It's time to say goodbye to Natasha Romanoff. At least, that's what Scarlett Johansson wants Marvel fans to do.

In an interview with InStyle, Johansson addressed Black Widow's status in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Natasha famously died in 2019's Avengers: Endgame when she sacrificed herself to obtain the Soul Stone. Despite the character's death, fans still believe Natasha could somehow return. Johansson is now setting the record straight.
"Natasha is dead. She is dead. She's dead. OK?" Johansson said. “They just don't want to believe it. They’re like, ‘But she could come back!’ Look, I think the balance of the entire universe is held in her hand. We’re going to have to let it go. She saved the world. Let her have her hero moment.”
After Endgame, Johansson reprised her MCU role in 2021 for Black Widow. However, the Black Widow prequel movie remains Johansson's last appearance in Marvel.

Thunderbolts* draws comparisons to ‘A24-feeling assassin movie’ and Toy Story 3

A group of superheroes walk in unison toward camera.

Thunderbolts* will be the next movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The eclectic group of misfits is forced to team up on a dangerous mission that will result in glory or death. One of the Thunderbolts is Yelena Belova, played by Florence Pugh. Unlike the Avengers, the Thunderbolts have been passed over by society. They are not heroes like Captain America and Thor. Even the film's director, Jake Schreier, is an indie filmmaker, not an experienced blockbuster director.
