Ryan Reynolds posts hilarious Taylor Swift-inspired picture from the set of Deadpool & Wolverine, reigniting rumors of a potential cameo from singer
Ryan Reynolds has reignited rumors of a potential Taylor Swift cameo in his upcoming film Deadpool & Wolverine – just weeks before it hits theaters.
On Tuesday, the actor, 47, set social media ablaze when he posted a photo from the set of the superhero flick inspired by Swift’s 2020 album Evermore to Instagram.
Dressed in Deadpool’s iconic red supersuit with his dual samurai swords strapped to his back, Reynolds recreated the album’s iconic cover art.
Like Swift, Reynolds faced away from the camera while standing in a field with bare trees in the distance.
The Canadian star — who boasts 51.5million followers — also set his Instagram post to the tune of the Grammy nominated album’s title track.
The Evermore cover art was famously captured by photographer Beth Garrabrant at a sprawling New York estate ‘owned by a friend’ of Swift’s.
Fans have speculated that the property — where the cover art for Evermore’s sister album Folklore (2020) was also shot — is owned by Reynolds and his wife Blake Lively, 36.
Swift and Lively have been BFFs since 2015 – three years into Lively’s marriage to Reynolds.
She is considered a core member of the multi-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 famously name-dropped James, Inez and Betty on her Folklore track Betty – with the song actually revealing the youngest daughter’s name for the very first time.
In a 2021 SiriusXM interview, Reynolds revealed that his girls had no idea they made it into the song’s lyrics until it 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 if you offer them no access to outside information.’
When it comes to their fourth child’s moniker — which has yet to be revealed — Reynolds joked on the TODAY show in May that it’s in Swift’s hands.
