How Superman Henry Cavill Said Yes to Deadpool & Wolverine Right Away

by

As a dedicated fan who has followed Henry Cavill’s illustrious career since his days as the dashing swordsman, Charles Brandon, in “The Tudors,” it is with immense excitement that I see him grace the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Cavillrine in Deadpool & Wolverine. It feels like a dream come true, much like when Cavill donned the cape and red briefs to become Superman.

As a devoted fan who’s followed Henry Cavill’s illustrious career, I can’t help but recall his iconic portrayal of Superman in the DC Universe. It’s been two years since he graced our screens in a cameo for Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam, and his brief appearance with the words, “I am back as Superman,” ignited anticipation within us. This tantalizing hint suggests that future collaborations may be on the horizon, perhaps even a thrilling confrontation between Superman and Black Adam.

As a lifestyle expert, I’ve always kept a keen eye on the ever-evolving world of DC Films. Yet, the terrain shifted significantly when DC Films morphed into DC Studios, ushering in a refreshing reboot of the DC Universe. This transformation saw David Corenswet stepping into the iconic role of Superman, a mantle once worn by Henry Cavill who graciously bid adieu to the part and his Superman costume. Since then, there’s been a whirlwind of speculation regarding Cavill’s potential move to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The rumors about Cavill’s involvement have been partially validated through his cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine, where he portrayed the character Cavillrine. Upon being offered the part, it is said that Cavill promptly agreed, delighting numerous fans with this dream-come-true scenario.

In the initial portion of Deadpool and Wolverine, Ryan Reynolds’ character Wade Wilson sets out on a mission to locate a version of Hugh Jackman’s Logan to rescue his family and a deteriorating universe. Throughout this quest, he encounters a cigar-smoking Wolverine variant named Cavillrine, portrayed by Henry Cavill. Upon spotting him, Deadpool remarks, “This feels just perfect. We’ll treat you far superior to those jerks over there,” alluding to the competition down the street, which he refers to as Distinguished Competition.

During an interview with Variety, director Shawn Levy discussed the process of casting the cameo actors. He explained that, for the most part, he and Ryan made direct approaches to the actors without involving lawyers or agents first. The result was a straightforward process of us asking and the actors usually agreeing to participate.

He further explained that Henry Cavill was part of this too, and Ryan had dubbed him ‘Cavillrine’. Levy commented, “The moment Ryan coined that term, I knew it was unquestionable. He agreed immediately because he understood it would be both challenging and fun. It was also filled with affection for him and his impressive work, as well as a playful take on his legacy as a DC superhero now that he’s portraying a Marvel character variant.”

Fans are eagerly anticipating Henry Cavill joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with many hoping to see him as Captain Britain. However, Cavill, known for his role in The Witcher, has expressed that he wouldn’t accept a Marvel role if it had already been played by someone else, acknowledging and respecting the work of previous actors.

Regarding the gossip concerning Captain Britain, Cavill commented, “I’ve seen the online chatter, and the idea of playing a contemporary take on Captain Britain sounds exciting to me – similar to how they updated Captain America. There’s an appeal in that, and since I’m proudly British, it would be a fantastic role for me.”

As a devoted follower, I’m eagerly waiting for the possibility of Henry Cavill taking on the role of Captain Britain, though it’s yet to be confirmed. In the meantime, I’ve had the pleasure of catching his cameo as Cavillrine in the ongoing blockbuster, Deadpool & Wolverine, which is still running in theaters.
