Henry Cavill’s rumored debut in the MCU might spell possibility for another much-awaited duel.

The duel between Ben Affleck’s Batman and Henry Cavill’s Superman seems like already ages ago, and with the latter’s exit from the franchise and the rise of the newly revamped DC Universe, the duo’s on-screen rivalry may have ended for good.

But, there is always hope and the possibility of achieving the said rematch in Marvel Cinematic Universe. Following Cavill’s rumored debut in Deadpool and Wolverine, and Affleck’s history as Daredevil, something can be done here.

Rumors About Henry Cavill Playing Wolverine Variant Get More Exciting

Deadpool and Wolverine

A scooper previously shared critical information that Henry Cavill might be debuting in Deadpool and Wolverine as a variant of the clawed mutant. As per Giant Freakin Robot:

“I’ve been able to confirm that Henry Cavill will indeed appear in Deadpool 3. Henry Cavill will appear in Deadpool & Wolverine as a multiverse variant of Wolverine. His version will be wearing a long brown coat when he shows up, and this will be Cavill’s first appearance in the Marvel universe.”

Now that’s definitely exciting news, but since there is no official announcement yet from Marvel Studios, this report should be taken with a grain of salt. However, another well-known industry insider revealed that the Man of Steel actor is indeed in Deadpool 3. CanWeGetSomeToast posted on their platform:

“I can confirm that Henry Cavill will in fact play a Wolverine variant in ‘DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE’. Fans will be very pleased with his appearance.”

If Cavill really does end up landing a role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there are many other characters he can also explore. The actor has previously been supported by fans to play Doctor Doom in Fantastic Four as he has also expressed interest in portraying Captain Britain.

The possibilities are endless, but since fans want a rematch between Superman and Batman, all Marvel needs to do is to bring back Ben Affleck’s Daredevil into the fold. Fans know what happened to the ill-fated franchise, and although the Gone Girl star admitted hating his own movie,

there’s always a way to redeem oneself.

The idea might seem impossible, but in the comics, Wolverine and Daredevil really had a fierce clash that fans might want to see happen on the screen.
