Henry Cavill Comments on His ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Cameo With a Slight Dig at Snyder’s ‘Justice League’

As a long-time fan of Henry Cavill‘s work, it’s been quite the rollercoaster ride watching his career unfold, especially when it comes to iconic roles like Superman and Geralt of Rivia. But, let me tell you, nothing quite compares to the unexpected twist in seeing him as a Wolverine variant in Deadpool & Wolverine!


In the latest Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) offering, Deadpool and Wolverine, both fan favorites, are taking center stage. It’s been met with immense popularity among viewers and has proven to be a significant box office hit. The movie brings back some esteemed Marvel actors reprising their roles while also introducing fresh faces to the on-screen universe, such as Henry Cavill stepping into a Wolverine variant role.

As a gamer, I’ve come across a quick-flash character in a movie once, and it left quite an impression on me. Levy calls it “Cavillerine,” but even in those fleeting seconds, it packed a punch with several nods to notable references that made me sit up and take notice.

It’s worth mentioning that Henry Cavill portrayed Superman in the struggling DC Extended Universe, and there were hints of his character in the film “Black Adam,” which received negative reviews from critics and underperformed at the box office. Initially, he was supposed to reprise his role in a new solo movie, but the dissolution of the DCEU occurred soon after it was announced that he would return.

When Deadpool mentions to Cavalier that they’ll handle him more favorably than “the folks next door,” he might be alluding to this predicament. Notably, Cavill stepped down from his role as Geralt of Rivia in “The Witcher” to concentrate on Superman, but later lost the part.

Regardless, Cavill has adopted a lighthearted attitude towards the current scenario. Lately, he made a jesting remark about his potential role in Deadpool and Wolverine, subtly poking fun at the production process of Justice League.

To be safe, I shaved the moustache off for this one. Just the moustache. 

The film Snyder’s Justice League serves as Henry Cavill’s last significant appearance in the DCEU prior to his post-credits role in Black Adam. During the production of Mission: Impossible – Fallout (2018), Cavill was contractually obligated to keep his mustache for the character August Walker, necessitating Warner Bros. to digitally erase his mustache during Justice League reshoots.
