Shawn Levy Reveals Henry Cavill Smoked Cigars Over ‘Eight Hours Straight’ For His Cameo In Deadpool & Wolverine

by

As a long-time fan who has witnessed the evolution of Superman on the big screen, I must say, Henry Cavill’s cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine was a delightful twist! His portrayal of Cavillrine, a unique Wolverine variant, showcased his versatility as an actor and his commitment to the craft.

Henry Cavill, most famously recognized as Superman, briefly appeared in the Marvel films Deadpool and Wolverine. Director Shawn Levy shared with The New York Times that Cavill became nauseous after breathing in cigar smoke for an uninterrupted eight hours during filming. In this production, Cavill portrayed a character named Cavillrine, a variant of Wolverine, who appeared alongside Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool in a scene set within a multiverse.

Levy described how Cavill managed to maintain his muscular form and constantly held a lit cigar during filming. In other words, not only did he sport an impressive muscular body, but he also kept the cigar between his lips for the entire day of shooting. Interestingly, it was reported that Cavill fell ill the following day due to prolonged inhalation of cigar smoke, yet he carried on working without any signs of discomfort.

While traversing the multiverse on a quest to gather fellow Wolverine counterparts for our team, I happened upon Henry Cavill’s character, aptly named Cavillrine, in a film called Deadpool. Although Hugh Jackman played most of the variant roles, it was Ryan Reynolds who gave Henry Cavill’s version its unique moniker within this cinematic universe. The director commended this creative move by the Deadpool himself.

According to Levy, Cavill’s role in the project was assigned not long after another actor had stepped down from playing Superman in the DC universe developed by Gunn and Safran. The director found this as a chance to cast Cavill in a part where he could excel, while also subtly commenting on the circumstances with a touch of self-awareness.

In the film Deadpool & Wolverine, Cavill makes an unexpected appearance, joining a list of notable guest appearances that also includes Chris Evans portraying Johnny Storm/Human Torch, Jennifer Garner as Elektra, and Wesley Snipes reprising his role as Blade.

As a die-hard enthusiast, I can’t help but shout out my excitement over Channing Tatum stepping into the shoes of Gambit! And let me tell you, Blake Lively truly brings Lady Deadpool to life on screen! Levy’s brilliant casting choices, coupled with the film’s clever jabs at popular culture, keep me hooked and giggling all the way through. This movie is a must-watch for any comic book fan!

It became known last year that David Corenswet will don the cape as Superman in an upcoming movie slated for release on July 11, 2025. This revelation is one piece of a larger puzzle signifying significant changes within the DC universe, marking a new chapter for this legendary superhero.
