When is 'Deadpool & Wolverine' releasing?
'Deadpool & Wolverine' is set to premiere on July 26, marking the first R-rated feature in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and Blake Lively's Instagram post was seemingly a supportive shout out to her husband.
Moreover, the snug photograph was taken by their longtime friend Guy Aroch and was used to promote the new movie, which also stars Hugh Jackman.
In her caption, Lively, 36, expressed pride in her husband for his dedication to the project, writing cheekily, "Brb I’m buying milky pens to write your name on my hand @vancityreynolds."
She continued on a fun rant, "My y2k girlies, I should be competitive bc @itendswithusmovie is coming out in 3 weeks BUT when your middle school obsessions, your feelings post baby, or about Nice men who use feminism as a tool, your love of the Wizard of Oz, Succession, Sandy & Danny, driving with Avril blasting, the way the choreography of a certain boy*band song got me, of Baz Luhrmann fireworks to punctuate a moment, even down to the fact that our hair color is determined by seasons and the French method by which it’s painted are all so seen…"
"MY WORD… it’s hard not to encourage my ladies to spot all the ways we’ve influenced @deadpoolmovie I’ve never been more proud. And I’ve given birth 4 times. ❤️."
The photo also hints that she may be wearing a red costume, suggesting she could be playing Lady Deadpool, a role that has been widely speculated.
It had been speculated that Marvel Cinematic Universe and Taylor Swift- two cultural icons- might join forces in a collaboration with 'Deadpool and Wolverine'.
Rumours have been doing the rounds lately that Taylor Swift could make an appearance as the comic book character Lady Deadpool in the movie.
Fans eagerly await the film’s release to find out if Swift is indeed under the mask.
Who is Lady Deadpool?
Lady Deadpool, first introduced in the 2010 comic 'Deadpool: Merc with a Mouth Vol 7,' is an alternate universe version of Deadpool named Wanda Wilson, possessing similar superhuman abilities.
The upcoming 'Deadpool and Wolverine' movie is expected to draw heavily from this period in the comics, featuring characters like Dogpool and possibly the Deadpool Corps, with Lady Deadpool as the leader.
Theories about Lady Deadpool's identity in the film include Taylor Swift or Blake Lively, with Swift being the most exciting and unexpected option.
Fans note that some social media promo content for the movie was filmed at the same location as Swift's 'All Too Well' music video, which starred the film's director Shawn Levy.
Additionally, Swift's friendship with Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds further fuel speculation. Blake and Ryan famously attended a Kansas City Chiefs game to cheer on the team and Swift's tight end boyfriend, Travis Kelce. They also had a good time during Swift's Eras Tour stop in Madrid recently.
Fans believe Lady Deadpool is the most likely role for Swift in the movie.
Ryan and Blake are parents to four children, daughters James, Inez, Betty, and a fourth child whose name remains undisclosed.
Recently, People reported Reynolds humorously claimed that Taylor Swift’s fee for babysitting his and Blake’s children is "cost-prohibitive"
The comment was sparked by Hugh Jackman’s conversation with E! News, where he referred to Swift as the nanny of Ryan's children.
"The cost of that is … I believe the accountant said, 'Cost-prohibitive'," Reynolds replied. "But I think what he meant was 'Cost-insane-what-are-you-doing-I’m-no-longer-you’re-accountant'."
It has also been speculated that Swift might play Dazzler, a mutant converting sound into energy beams, in 'Deadpool & Wolverine'.
This theory intensified after her album 'The Tortured Poets Department' featured the song 'Clara Bow' with the word "dazzling".
