Taylor Swift Reportedly Considered for Blonde Phantom Role in the MCU, Outshining ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Hype

If the words “Taylor Swift” and “MCU” sound like an unlikely pairing, you’re not alone. Yet, rumors of Swift’s involvement have been circulating for months, particularly suggesting a cameo in ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ as Dazzler. These rumors gained such traction that both Reynolds and director Shawn Levy addressed them on multiple occasions.

As the movie inches closer to release, the rumors have only intensified. However, a recent shift in online chatter suggests that Swift will indeed join the MCU, but not as Dazzler. Instead, she’s rumored to star in her own standalone show as Blonde Phantom.

This information comes from Daniel Richtman, a well-known industry insider and scooper. Richtman suggests that the actress has already held meetings with executives to discuss the details, positioning her as one of the top contenders for the starring role in the show.

If you’re curious about ‘Blonde Phantom,’ allow us to fill you in. It’s an alleged secret project currently in the works for Disney+, reportedly featuring Scarlett Johansson. While it’s been confirmed several times that Johansson is involved in an MCU-based show, only recently have details about this particular project emerged.

In comic lore, Blonde Phantom isn’t exactly a household name. She gained prominence during the Golden Age of Comic Books in the 1940s for her crime-fighting escapades. Louise Grant, originally from Hoboken, New Jersey, served as a secretary for private detective Mark Mason. Inspired by his work, she adopted the persona of the Blonde Phantom, donning a black domino mask and a striking red evening gown while battling crime under the cover of night.

In the comics, the character has a notable link to She-Hulk. While many assumed Scarlett herself would portray the lead role, these rumors suggest otherwise.

Additionally, Richtman suggests that the show will be set in 1950s Las Vegas and will delve into the realm of crime-fighting spy series, a genre Scarlett is familiar with given her extensive tenure in the MCU portraying a similar character.
