Ryan Reynolds has rekindled rumors of a possible Taylor Swift cameo in his upcoming film Deadpool & Wolverine, just weeks before the film hits theaters.
On Tuesday, the 47-year-old actor sent social media into a frenzy when he posted a photo from the set of the superhero film inspired by Swift’s 2020 album Evermore on Instagram.
Dressed in Deadpool’s iconic red super suit with his two samurai swords on his back, Reynolds recreated the iconic album cover.
Like Swift, Reynolds stood facing away from the camera in a field with bare trees in the distance.
The Canadian star, who has 51.5 million followers, also set his Instagram post to the tune of the title track from the Grammy-nominated album.
The cover of Evermore was made famous by photographer Beth Garrabrant, who captured it at a sprawling New York estate “owned by a friend” of Swift’s.

Fans are speculating that the estate, where the cover for Evermore’s sister album Folklore (2020) was also filmed, is owned by Reynolds and his wife Blake Lively, 36.
Swift and Lively have been best friends since 2015, three years after Lively married Reynolds.
She is considered one of the most important members of the multiple Grammy Award winner’s ‘girl squad’.
Reynolds and Lively are parents to four children: daughters James, nine, Inez, seven, and Betty, four, and another baby born in February 2023.
Swift mentioned the names James, Inez and Betty in her Folklore song Betty. The song was the first to mention the youngest daughter’s name.
In a 2021 SiriusXM In an interview, Reynolds revealed that his daughters had no idea they were featured in the song’s lyrics until the song was released.
“We surprised them with it. They didn’t know,” he said, before joking, “We don’t tell them anything; we find they’re most compliant when you don’t give them access to outside information.”
When it comes to the name of their fourth child — which has not yet been revealed — Reynolds joked on the TODAY show in May that it is in Swift’s hands.

“We always wait for Taylor to tell us what the baby’s name is, and I’ll say this: We’re still waiting,” he teased, adding that Swift is a “prolific writer.”
The couple recently attended Swift’s Eras Tour concert in Madrid, Spain, with all three of their daughters in the audience in May.
Rumors that Swift would star in Deadpool & Wolverine surfaced last year after she was spotted with her co-stars Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, 55.
In October 2023, the trio attended a game hosted by Swift’s friend Travis Kelce along with Lively.
Jackman shared a now-viral selfie of himself, Swift, Reynolds and Lively posing together in their seats during the big game.
Swift and Jackman have been friends for over a decade, even celebrating Christmas Eve together in 2014.
The October 2023 release led fans to speculate that Swift would appear in the highly anticipated Marvel superhero sequel as either Lady Deadpool or Dazzler.

And those rumors were further fueled earlier this month when the latest trailer for Deadpool & Wolverine dropped.
There was a brief scene of a pair of legs – which appeared to belong to a woman – walking through the dust and rubble.
Many claimed the legs were Swift’s, while others wondered if Reynolds’ wife Lively would also make a cameo in the film, which is set for release on July 26.
Shortly after, a promotional poster for the film was uploaded to IMAX’s official Instagram account, showing Deadpool and Wolverine wearing friendship bracelets inspired by the Eras Tour.
The bracelets, often made of colorful beads and featuring iconic Swift lyrics or song titles, became a tradition after Swift’s tour kicked off in March 2023. Fans began making and handing them out at the concerts.
The speculation of a cameo isn’t as far-fetched as it seems, as Swift actually has some acting experience.
She had a cameo in David O. Russell’s 2022 blockbuster Amsterdam, starring Margot Robbie and Christian Bale.

Many were quick to claim that a pair of legs in the final teaser trailer belonged to Swift, while others wondered if Reynolds’ wife Lively herself would make a cameo in the film, which is set for release on July 26.

She previously starred in Cats (2018), Valentine’s Day (2010) with ex-boyfriend Taylor Lautner, and once guest-starred on a 2009 episode of CSI.
Swift is currently on the European leg of her highly successful Eras Tour.
Earlier this month, she played her 100th Eras Tour show in Liverpool. The star said: ‘The show feels new every time we play.’
The billionaire called it “the adventure of a lifetime” and thanked his fans for their continued support.
