With just 10 days left for the release of Deadpool and Wolverine, the excitement is palpable. While fans are excited to watch Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman’s onscreen camaraderie, a new trailer has piqued the interest of fans manifolds as it hints at Lady Deadpool.
The film has been trending on social media since Wednesday morning after Disney dropped a new promo, offering a glimpse at ‘Lady Deadpool’. The new promo shows a bunch of variations of Deadpool landing during an action set piece. There is a cowboy Deadpool, a doggy Deadpool and most promisingly, a blonde woman as Lady Deadpool. The teaser stops short from revealing the face of the actor who plays the role but only shows a woman’s blonde hair as she walks towards the camera in a Deadpool outfit.
Is that Blake Lively or Taylor Swift?
As soon as the teaser dropped, fans began speculating about who could be playing the role. Many hoped that it was none other than Ryan Reynolds’ real-life wife and actor Blake Lively.
“If it ain’t Blake, I don’t want it,” wrote one. “It’s certain that Blake Lively is playing Lady Deadpool in #DeadpoolAndWolverine,” said another fan.
A few hoped it was singer Taylor Swift, who happens to be Ryan and Blake’s close friend.
“TAYLOR SWIFT! I have no clue, just predicting.”
“It won’t be Ladypool, it will be Deadpool himself dressed as a woman, no Ladypool, they will end up like,” said another fan. A few are even hoping for it, “If it’s not Blake Lively, I want it to be Ryan Reynolds in a wig.”
