Taylor Swift spilled some interest in her future role at a meeting with Kevin Feige—President of Marvel Studio. The specifics of the role are unclear, but this prodding tidbit has fans speculating and excited over the top.
For years there has been some sort of buzz regarding Taylor Swift possibly joining the MCU. Remember when she teased with the “Endgame” track and fans went nuts, thinking she was actually going to appear in “Avengers: Endgame”? That part never did come to fruition, but the notion of Swift being a Marvel superhero never really went away. Now, with word of new rumors that she might be appearing in a “Blonde Phantom” series, the buzz is back, and it’s bigger than ever.
Imagine Taylor Swift in the Blonde Phantom clothing, the great Golden Age of Comics masked crime fighter. The real life pop princess gets a title with her double life of fighting crime and seeing double as a vigilante. Just imagine Swift’s music videos in a superheroic context: there’s the gang of criminals she is fighting off in “Look What You Made Me Do,” and then there is the epic battle scene with “Bad Blood” in the background.
And what if her songs were more than just anthems but tools for fighting crime? Swift singing “Shake It Off” to disorient villains or using “You Belong With Me” to forge unlikely alliances. The possibilities are truly endless and all so wonderfully absurd.
But why stop at Blonde Phantom? Swift can add her inimitable style to a number of other Marvel characters, too:
Aralune (Rebecca Ryan) – This is a shapeshifter, and it would be extremely well-suited for Swift’s artistic and musical capabilities. Imagine morphing right in the middle of a song, and a fan would never know what to expect next.
Shannon Carter (American Dream): Being a fangirl of Captain America, she turns into a heroine in her right; thus, Shannon Carter with the American vibe of Swift would be a match made in star-spangled heaven.
Mystique: If the MCU is ready for the mutants to come in, the way Swift has played this two-timing role—to be the bad guy and good guy—would just be fascinating. This is where she would be able to use her acting ability to catch hold of emotions.
Let the Speculation Begin!
Fanfic-ized now is the notion of Taylor Swift as a member of the MCU: whether she is to be turned into Blonde Phantom or Dazzler, there’s one thing certain—Swift’s entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe would not just be an event, but a phenomenon.
