The Henry Cavill MCU Wolverine Casting Rumors Explained
Warning: This Article Contains Major Spoilers For Deadpool & Wolverine
Henry Cavill made a brief cameo as Wolverine in Deadpool & Wolverine, fulfilling fan-casting dreams. Rumors of Cavill joining the MCU have circulated for years, including as Wolverine in Captain Marvel 2. Despite the cameo, it's uncertain whether Cavill will reprise the role in the future X-Men movie.
Ever since Disney acquired Fox's film assets, bringing the X-Men under Marvel Studios' purview, speculation has run rampant about who will play the McU's Wolverine, with many hoping it would be Henry Cavill. The British actor was the face of the Dceu for many years, playing the DC film franchise's Superman, but has since officially set down the cape. Ostensibly, that has left him free to join the MCU as the adamantium-clawed member of the X-Men.
In a surprise move, Marvel Studios did actually cast Cavill in the MCU as Wolverine - for a brief cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine.
