The upcoming film Deadpool & Wolverine has generated significant excitement, particularly with the promise of showcasing various Deadpool variants from across the multiverse. Among these, the character of Lady Deadpool, aka Wanda Wilson, has created a substantial buzz online.
Theories about Lady Deadpool’s inclusion began to circulate following a trailer released in June 2024. At the thirty-second mark, viewers noticed a pair of legs in a suit strikingly similar to Deadpool’s, accompanied by Ryan Reynolds’ voiceover saying, “I’m about to lose everything that I’ve ever cared about.” This sparked speculation that Lady Deadpool might be introduced in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

The final trailer, released ahead of the film’s premiere on July 26, 2024, intensified these rumors. It featured a mysterious figure with blonde hair wearing a red and black suit identical to Deadpool’s, leading fans to believe that this could indeed be Lady Deadpool.
Speculation about Blake Lively, Reynolds’ wife, portraying Lady Deadpool gained traction after the leg reveal in the trailer. The subsequent unveiling of blonde hair in the final trailer further fueled these theories. Fans took to social media, with comments like, “Are we coming to conclusion that @blakelively has to be LadyDeadPool due to the similarities of the outfits ❤️ #DeadpoolAndWolverine #LadyDeadPool #BlakeLively #DeadpoolAndWolverinePremiere,” expressing their excitement and belief in this possibility.
Adding to the excitement, a fan theory suggesting that Taylor Swift might portray Lady Deadpool has also gained momentum. This theory was stoked by a resurfaced photo of Swift dressed as Deadpool for Halloween, revealing that Reynolds had lent her the suit. Swift’s close friendship with Reynolds and Lively, combined with her appearance at an NFL game with Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, and director Shawn Levy in October 2023, has led fans to believe that a cameo by Swift could be in the works.
Whether it’s Blake Lively or Taylor Swift, the anticipation for Lady Deadpool’s debut in Deadpool & Wolverine is at an all-time high, making the film’s release one of the most eagerly awaited events for Marvel fans.
