A DC spokesman has denied the rumor that singer Taylor Swift is being considered for the lead role in a planned film adaptation of Supergirl. Speculation started last month after several sources printed remarks from a “Hollywood insider” linking the 20-year-old star to the part, but DC appears to have refuted the claims.

RTTNews quoted the DC spokesman as saying:

“I’d love to know who the ‘Hollywood insider’ is, because that’s as clueless a thing as I’ve heard all year.”

As we told you, a “industry insider” reportedly told Hollywoodscoop.com:

“Hollywood is short of female heroes and the time is right for a new Supergirl.

“A number of young stars are being mentioned for the title role in a Supergirl movie and possible TV spin-off and Taylor is top of that list. She has all the right elements to be a positive role model to young girls.”

While Swift may not be in the running for the Supergirl role, she is due to make her film debut in romantic comedy Valentine’s Day, which arrives in theaters February 12.
