Will Taylor Swift be Playing Dazzler in "X-Men: Apocalypse?"

[ArachKing05]

1989 is very reminiscent to a Dazzler 80's dance album.

Title aside, that album has about as much to do with the '80s as a "Hits of 1925" compilation...

And above all else she's an insufferable Spice Girl-power blowhard. If there's any justice she'll be forgotten in 10 years' time.

[ChaoticScholar]

It dates the movie big time, at least.

[Hypestyle]

It would be great if Ms. Swift would dress up in the original Dazzler outfit, with the roller skates.

[JediMindTrick]

Thats cool. Its not like Dazzler is going to actually matter or be in this movie beyond Easter Egg status so its perfect to get a pop star to portray her.

[Handsome men don't lose fights]

Why would she appear in an X-men film? Wouldn't she be better off in an MCU flick? People actually like those.

20 years is a pretty respectable career length, in the music industry.

Taylor Swift's music doesn't interest me very much, but I find a reaction like this to be a bit much. Swift, Beyonce, uh, other performers in that vein, (I don't actually listen to the radio very much.) Who cares if they go for that girl power dynamic? What are you suggesting they be replaced with? Something 'real'? That's the kind of thing no one should give a **** about after high school. Ideally, if they wanted to get a head start on growing up, they wouldn't care about it during High school, either. Let people enjoy what they like.

LMAO it's a period movie!

[AndrewBatman82]

Sure, like if Katniss and Sansa werent doing that already.

Or they could get someone who could actually act.

I prefer someone that can sing.

[Dr Will Hatch]

If this is true, it sounds kind of fun, actually. I don't know if she'll be able to act very well, but this is perfect stunt casting.

[Fuzzy Barbarian]

No. Even if it's a bit part, Fox would promote the **** out of it for the ticket sales and I really don't want to see those ads. Just... no. She can't act. All I'm gonna hear whenever she talks is "this sick beat" and other, hilariously lame things.

"Billed as the first disco-themed superhero, Dazzler was originally created as a cross-promotional stunt, by Marvel Comics and Casablanca Records. ".

[RedvFury]

She could just be saying it was their favorite Album, before 1989 came out. Like a personal opinion. Or, hinting at the fact their still picking up Records, while CD's are about to go mainstream the following year(s) in the 90's. Just tell us who's playing Cypher, already.

They didn't cast Katniss as Mystique. They cast Mystique as Katniss.
X-Men: First Class predates the Hunger Games films.
