Rumors swirl as Henry Cavill reportedly gears up for a Wolverine cameo in Deadpool and Wolverine.
Key Takeaways:
- Henry Cavill to cameo as Wolverine variant in Deadpool and Wolverine films.
- Cavill’s appearance avoids Marvel-DC legal issues.
- X-Men‘s Cyclops also hinted to appear, expanding crossover possibilities.
According to rumors, Henry Cavill is set to make a cameo appearance in the upcoming films Deadpool and Wolverine. However, he won’t be reprising his role as Superman, as that would create legal complications between Marvel and DC.
Instead, Cavill is reportedly playing a Wolverine variant from another dimension. This concept might have seemed far-fetched in the past, but given recent franchise-crossing appearances (such as Patrick Stewart’s Professor X in Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness and Kelsey Grammer’s Beast in The Marvels), it’s not entirely surprising.
The news comes from film scooper @CanWeGetToast, who tweeted: “I can confirm that Henry Cavill will in fact play a Wolverine variant in ‘DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE’. Fans will be very pleased with his appearance.”
Henry Cavill has been rumored to be in the MCU for a while now. In a 2021 Screenrant interview, Henry Cavill acknowledged the widespread speculation surrounding his potential casting as Captain Britain. He expressed excitement about the idea of bringing a modernized interpretation of the character, akin to the reinvention of Captain America.
Interestingly, Vinnie Jones was also approached for a cameo in Deadpool and Wolverine, but unfortunately, they couldn’t strike a deal.
And that’s not all—the film might also feature X-Men’s Cyclops, according to cryptic comments made by actor James Marsden.
“I keep hearing about that. I can’t walk down the street without someone asking me so evidently there’s a lot of chatter about that. It’d be fun. We just wrapped actually (Sonic 3). We were near the Deadpool stages up there in Pinewood actually. Yeah, this is a little bit of a Pandora’s box.”
The Pandora’s Box of crossover possibilities is set to open on July 26, 2024, when Deadpool and Wolverine hits theaters. Fans can look forward to seeing Henry Cavill’s intriguing Wolverine variant and potentially more surprises along the way.
