Deadpool & Wolverine could include an interesting cameo, involving an icon from the DC universe. The latest rumors would, in fact, point to a movie star who in recent years has fueled popularity by playing one of the most beloved superheroes in the world of comics on the big screen. And it seems that the role offered is also particular: the star in question should play a variant of Wolverine. Who is it about?

At this point in the article, naturally, curiosity has taken over, which is why we do not have to warn you about potential spoilers. In any case, these are rumors, so we will have to wait for official sources and confirmations to guarantee that this is actually the case. In the limbo phase, as reported by Giant Freakiing Robot, it seems that Henry Cavill will join the adventures of the foul-mouthed antihero and his new friend with claws. According to rumors, the former interpreter of Superman in the DCEU and star of The Witcher could officially join the Marvel Cinematic Universe to play a new version of Wolverine. 

If so, could his cameo hide other intentions on the part of Marvel Studios? How, for example, can we delve even further into Wolverine's presence in the Multiverse? It would be a real passing of the torch for Hugh Jackman, who hung up his claws in 2017 with Logan – The Wolverine. Then, when Ryan Reynolds asked him to return, the actor couldn't refuse. That doesn't mean he's willing to move forward with the Wolverine character. Consequently, Marvel Studios may have already evaluated a plan B that would involve Henry Cavill.

HD Cryptic Quality, as reported by ComicBook, also supported the Giant Freaking Robot rumor, declaring that it had assimilated the same indiscretion regarding Henry Cavill. Some time ago, Shawn Levy confirmed that audiences should expect some surprises for Deadpool & Wolverine. Would this also include Henry Cavill? It is not known at the moment, but it would be a turning point for the actor, considering that at the moment he is far from the fantasy universes of both The Witcher and DC. While waiting to understand more, let's review the director's words on the Happy Sad Confused podcast:

What shocked me was how easy some of these cameos were. People love Deadpool. They love Ryan Reynolds. Luckily he seems to like what I do too. They know that Ryan and I are in a grip of creative brotherhood that is one of a kind and seems to work. So yes, I like the idea that there are so many casting rumors circulating around my film because there are so many that it's impossible to know what's real and what's not. All I'll say is, it starts with Ryan and Hugh.
