Henry Cavill Reportedly Cast as a Variant of One of the Most Notable X-Men in ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’

One of Henry’s most notable roles in recent times is definitely that of Superman in the DCEU. Despite the movies being received with mixed reviews, Cavill’s portrayal of Man of Steel was considered to be decent enough. With his teased appearance in ‘Black Adam’ – a box office bomb, everybody expected that DCEU would only expand in the future, with Cavill even accepting & preparing to show up as Superman in several upcoming movies. Allegedly he even turned down playing Geralt of Rivia in Netflix’s ‘The Witcher’ for a couple of more seasons, before it was cleared up that he actually walked away from the project due to disagreements with the writers and showrunners as their lack of respect toward the source material.

The shock came only a few weeks later when it was decided that DCEU would be rebooted completely and that Cavill would most certainly not return to reprise his role in Gunn’s and Safran’s DCU as they are going for a younger cast of characters. Then Cavill was confirmed to take part in the untitled ‘Warhammer’ project and the reboot of ‘Highlander.’ Most recently Cavill expressed his wish to portray Captain Britain in the MCU.

Now after numerous rumors that Henry Cavill has been cast as the mysterious X-Men in ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ allegedly confirmation came from sources close to Giant Freaking Robot. Cavill will be portraying a variant of Wolverine in the movie. According to the source, this is also a one-off thing and Cavill will not reprise his role in the MCU as Wolverine, but might still show up as a different character altogether due to the Multiversal nature of the movie.

This is a confirmation that fans have been speculating about for weeks now, it was either Wolverine or Cyclops and now we know – sort of. Have something to add? Let us know in the comments below!
