The cameos in one of the most anticipated movies, Deadpool and Wolverine might have sparked a lot but brainiacs are only thinking about Henry Cavill as Wolverine.
This surprise move has led to speculation from fans on what this could mean for Cavill’s version of the iconic character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) going forward.
For a long time, Wolverine was played on screen exclusively by Hugh Jackman in live-action films, making Cavill’s portrayal of an alternate-universe version of the character noteworthy. Cavill’s perfectly coiffed hair demonstrates the importance of this part, as Wolverine is not a role just anybody would get.

Jett listed Cavill under the non-negotiable category, which includes all expectancy for build-up in the film. Sources say even though Cavill is gone for now, given his popularity among the geekdom this isn’t likely to be the end. A huge pop culture fanatic, Cavill understands the core of fan enjoyment. His portrayal of characters like Superman and The Witcher series Geralt of Rivia has earned him critical acclaim, as well as a legion of new fans.
Even though he played the role something to be proud of, leading up to the series finale growing excitement turned flat and more fans were less-than-impressed. It’s like leaving halfway watching a movie, and stopping it when at the climax – demanding follow-up. Such unresolved tales have disgruntled fans and converted them into cynics. But these incidents have also built up Cavill’s cult following in pop culture.
“Cavill comes across as down-to-earth and relatable, especially when he shows off his real-world interests like building his PC.” Fans have been fan-casting Henry Cavill as characters like Aegon the Conqueror in “Game of Thrones” and Wolverine in the Marvel universe.
Some fans have wanted to see Cavill as Wolverine for a very long time now, so their demand has finally been met. This is a momentous occasion considering Hugh Jackman has left behind an impression of Wolverine for the last 24 years to much fanfare. However, having Cavill play The Man himself in a film that also has Jackman as the lead sets up something of an ease of transition for bringing on a new actor to take over while respecting just how well-loved Jackman’s portrayal was.
The idea of variants is a familiar one within the MCU, thanks to Loki and Doctor Strange among others, that creates a convenient way for Cavill’s Wolverine to show up. The more important question is has Cavill done his last Hurrah as Wolverine, or when will he show face again in a future MCU movie? Given the passionate fandom that Cavill has, as well as both “No Way Home,” and previous MCU successes such as “Deadpool” or Wolverine, it wouldn’t be surprising to find Marvel following suit.
Conclusion:
- Chances are, Cavill’s Wolverine would factor into “Secret Wars,” a movie that features many permutations of characters. It could lay the groundwork for Cavill to take on Wolverine in a future MCU film. There are rumors that the MCU is planning a soft reboot after Multiverse Saga, which will lead to Mutant Saga. Fans can barely contain their excitement of seeing Cavill take on the mantle, especially given how essential Wolverine is in any mutant storyline.
