Is Taylor Swift The Wrong Choice For Marvel’s Blonde Phantom?

It has been speculated that Taylor Swift is set to be part of MCU and not just as a cameo but as a lead. Loyal followers are speculating about Swift as the actress portraying Blonde Phantom in a new Disney Plus show.

Swift’s MCU Debut: Not as Dazzler?

Since the mid of 2018, fans have been speculating Taylor Swift’s involvement in the MCU. At first, fans believed she could be Dazzler in the film Deadpool and Wolverine if it is to be made. Although Reynolds and Jackman, as well as the film’s director, Shawn Levy, have not directly stated whether these rumors are true or not, they have posted cryptic messages that might be interpreted in either way. But, recent news have indicated that Swift may portray a completely different character all together.

The Blonde Phantom Series

In a recent report by a Marvel insider, Daniel Richtman, revealed that Swift has been in talks with Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige over the Blonde Phantom role. This character, Louise Grant Mason, is a typical Marvel superheroine who was originally published by Timely Comics. During the day, she works as a secretary at a detective agency and at night turns into the Blonde Phantom, the glamorous spy.

A 1950s Spy Thriller

The Blonde Phantom is said to be next in line to get her Disney Plus show. Which is believed to be helmed by Scarlett Johansson. The series would be a standalone show taking place in Las Vegas in the 1950s. With the potential for the show to span multiple seasons. This setting is quite distinct from other MCU productions, which makes it stand out from the rest.

Taylor Swift As Blonde Phantom Makes A Lot Of Sense

While it is true that the Multiverse Saga can certainly include Swift as the Blonde Phantom in a different film if she is not in “Deadpool and Wolverine” as Dazzler. Regarding character duality, it is possible in the context of the multiverse; therefore, Swift’s double role is quite logical.

Perfect Casting

Taylor Swift is an excellent choice for the Blonde Phantom. She has an exceptional ability to tell stories through her music and her ambitious videos. This character is not very popular today and the participation of Taylor Swift in the project will attract a lot of interest. She might bring the Blonde Phantom back to the younger generation, thus guaranteeing success for the series on Disney Plus.

Marvel Studios are employing the Marvel Spotlight branding to shine the spotlight on characters who may not be as popular as others. Such as “Echo” and “Wonder Man”. If the Blonde Phantom project is to happen. Then having Taylor Swift portray the character would be a fantastic way to introduce this underappreciated hero to the MCU.

Conclusion

Although these rumors have not been confirmed, there is still hope that Taylor Swift will portray Blonde Phantom. This would not only allow her to further display her acting skills. But also unite two enormous fandoms, which would be a unique contribution to the MCU.
