Ryan Reynolds is once again shooting down speculation that Taylor Swift has a role in his upcoming Marvel epic Deadpool & Wolverine — although he feels she’d fit right into the universe.
The 47-year actor sat down with Jimmy Fallon on Monday’s Tonight Show, and he opened up about the countless rumors swirling around the litany of unexpected cameos that may or may not pop up in the long-awaited action spectacular.
“I would say this, we don’t really have cameos as much as surprises,” Reynolds began, trying to coyly dance around the question. However, his response was halted by Fallon loudly mumbling “Taylor Swift” under his breath.
“Who hurt you?” Reynolds joked.
When asked again if Swift plays a role in the film — possibly as Lady Deadpool, whose appearance in a recent trailer set the internet on fire with speculation — Reynolds said, “I wish!”
“Taylor, you know, If I ever stop, she’d make a good Deadpool,” Reynolds said. “She’s funny. Funny!”
“There are surprises. I would say that the folks that do show up in the movie — that I have no idea how we’ve managed to keep it secret given the internet and all this stuff — but I would say it’s more surprises,” the star continued, explaining that they didn’t just shove celebs in to pop up for no reason, but every surprise plays a role in the story.
Reynolds also said during his chat that Deadpool & Wolverine is possibly his favorite movie he’s ever starred in.
“Most of the time, when the movie is this much fun to make, you f**ked up bad,” he joked. “What was crazy about this one was it was the best filming experience I’ve ever had… I have never felt a set closer and that cared for each other more than this film, and the end product, or the final version of this, is better than anything I’ve ever done in my life, and I’m thrilled.”
That being said, fans shouldn’t anticipate seeing Reynolds suit up as Deadpool again anytime soon — at least not in a starring role or solo project.
“Will we see a Deadpool 4?” Fallon asked.
“Oh god no,” Reynolds said, shaking his head. “My wife and children will divorce me. I have no prenup with any of them.”
Reynolds and wife Blake Lively, 36, have been married since September 2012 and share four children together – daughters James, 9, Inez, 7, Betty, 4, and 1-year-old Olin, whose sex has not been disclosed to the public. In fact, Reynolds revealed his youngest child’s name during the Deadpool & Wolverine premiere screening in New York City on Monday.
Lively has also been at the center of speculation regarding a possible cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine — specifically the possibility that she stars as Lady Deadpool, one of several Deadpool variants who play a key role in the story.
On Monday, Reynolds walked the red carpet at the New York premiere of Deadpool & Wolverine, and he spoke with ET about what it means to him to have Lively’s full-fledged support going into his third Deadpool film.
“She’s amazing. She is so smart, everything I do is in lockstep with her and now she just takes every step with me — sometimes the scary steps, sometimes the ones that are, more often than not, aimed right at danger,” Reynolds joked.
He added, “I am super grateful to her. She’s just so smart and so funny and [she] like really, really helped in like every aspect of this movie.”
Deadpool & Wolverine arrives in theaters on July 26.
