Will We See Taylor Swift Make An Appearance As 'Dazzler' In X-MEN: APOCALYPSE?
After X-Men: Apocalypse writer and producer Simon Kinberg was photographed with singer Taylor Swift alongside some of the movie's cast, speculation started going into overdrive, with some rumours even pointing to her making a cameo appearance as Dazzler. Is it happening?
The short answer to the question above is no. Talking to MTV News while promoting The Martian at the Toronto International Film Festival, the X-Men: Apocalypse swriter had this to say about the rumours that Taylor Swift is going to be making a cameo appearance as Dazzler (which, let's face it, would actually be pretty perfect casting). "No, there’s nothing to it. I know where [the rumor] came from, because it’s my fault. [We] went to the show, me and those people, and then she invited us to come back and meet her afterwards. It was just a photo backstage at the concert, and that was the only time we ever saw her. That’s where that particular rumor came from."
Could there still be a chance that Fox enlists Swift to take on the role in this or a future X-Men movie though? "After I saw those things I was like oh, that’s kind of interesting, but no, we were actually just there for her concert." Damn. Of course, this isn't the first time a singer has been rumoured to be up for the role of Dazzler in one of these films. Sarah Harding was apparently being considered for Matthew Vaughn's X-Men: First Class, but that too came to nothing. Thoughts?
