As a gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that the casting of Henry Cavill as a Wolverine variant in Deadpool and Wolverine has ignited a spark of excitement within me that no in-game Easter egg ever could!
Hello there! Be advised, this tale contains major plot points from the film “Deadpool” and “Wolverine”. If you’d prefer not to have the storyline revealed, it would be best to pause your reading right now. Enjoy your undisrupted experience afterwards!
In anticipation for the premiere of “Deadpool and Wolverine”, there were numerous speculations regarding potential guest appearances. By this point, you’ve probably read news items about the various superheroes that made an appearance, most of which stem from the Marvel universe as portrayed by 20th Century Fox. Among them was a character whose proposed appearance in a canceled project sparked much enthusiasm among fans but ultimately didn’t materialize: Channing Tatum’s interpretation of Gambit, often joked about in “Deadpool and Wolverine”. In this discussion, however, I won’t delve into those guest appearances. Instead, I wish to zero in on a specific one, as it could potentially lead to something even more significant.
Devoted followers of Wolverine expected numerous manifestations of the clawed X-Man throughout the film, and indeed, we saw them. However, something felt amiss. There had been whispers that these alternative versions would be portrayed by actors who had previously considered the role, from Harry Potter’s Daniel Radcliffe to Dougray Scott. This didn’t materialize. Instead, Hugh Jackman took on every different incarnation of Wolverine, from the Hulk-fighting one in a brown and orange suit to the “Fever Dream” Wolverine, who was crucified by The Reavers on an X-shaped cross, as envisioned by Chris Claremont.
Well, Jackman played all of the Wolverines except one.
In an unexpected turn of events, Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) found Wolverine, portrayed by Henry Cavill – once known for his role as Superman in the discontinued DCEU – working on his motorcycle. As Deadpool himself remarks, it’s a perfect fit! Since Cavill is no longer playing Superman, with David Corenswet taking over the role in James Gunn’s upcoming DC film Superman, one can only wonder if he might step into the claws of Wolverine in future Marvel movies.
It seems that only Henry Cavill, not Hugh Jackman, has portrayed both Deadpool and a version of Wolverine in movies. This could be because the Wolverine role is shared by several actors, or because they asked Jackman to play every Logan variant. Instead, director Shawn Levy deliberately chose one actor for a Wolverine variant role, and that actor was Henry Cavill.
Based on my years of experience watching and analyzing movies, I believe that Henry Cavill could be next to take on the role of Wolverine following Hugh Jackman’s departure. As a fan who has closely followed both actors’ careers, it seems like a fitting transition given Cavill’s talent and physicality for the part.
Could this have been a trial run, showcasing Henry Cavill’s potential as Wolverine? Fans seem thrilled with the idea so far, and at 41 years old, Cavill certainly embodies the role convincingly in the clip. Given his youthful appearance, he could potentially portray Wolverine for many more years to come. Notably, Jackman is 55, which means there could be over a decade of Cavill as Wolverine!
Now yes, Cavill has been down this road before:
As a devoted gamer, I’ve been keeping an eye on the DCEU, but it seemed like the game was about to end when Superman (Cavill) popped up in Black Adam. For now, it looks like the MCU is gearing up for more X-Men action, and if Disney has their way, Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) will keep on playing until he’s 90! Having a reliable backup for such an iconic role makes perfect sense, and I believe Cavill is the ideal candidate.
