Henry Cavill will reportedly cameo as Wolverine in ‘Deadpool 3’

Henry Cavill, notable for his iconic portrayal of Superman in the DC Extended Universe has been at the centre of a whirlwind of rumours recently.

The whispers suggest that Cavill is set to don a new superhero persona, this time in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The actor is reportedly lined up to play a variant of Wolverine in the much-anticipated Deadpool & Wolverine.

The British actor once revealed that if given a chance, he would love to play Captain Britain in the MCU. However, rumours suggest Cavill’s dream won’t be coming true very soon.

The introduction of the multiverse saga in the MCU has opened up possibilities for different versions of beloved characters.

This means that Cavill’s Wolverine would not be a direct successor of Hugh Jackman’s iconic portrayal but a distinct variant from a different Earth.

While Marvel Studios has not officially confirmed Cavill’s involvement, the rumours have gained momentum with the report originating from GFR and a scooper @CanWeGetToast.

GFR reported that Cavill “will be wearing a long brown coat when he shows up”, and that this would be his first appearance in a Marvel movie.

If the rumours are true and Cavill indeed plays a Wolverine variant, it might potentially block his path to playing Captain Britain.

However, since this has not been confirmed by an official source, take this rumour with a huge grain of salt and keep your expectations low.

A synopsis for Deadpool 3 reads: “In Marvel Studios “Deadpool & Wolverine”, Wade Wilson is confronted by the TVA, which pulls him from a seemingly quiet life and results in Deadpool being unleashed.”

Apart from the rumoured addition of Cavill, the film features Ryan Reynolds reprising his role as Deadpool and Hugh Jackman returning as Wolverine.

Other returning cast members include Morena Baccarin, Stefan Kapicic, Brianna Hildebrand, Shioli Kutsuna, Leslie Uggams, and Karan Soni.

Deadpool & Wolverine is slated to release in theatres on July 26, 2024.
