For months, Henry Cavill has been rumored to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe in several different roles and franchises, and the latest one has definitely set the Internet ablaze. A known industry scooper has confirmed that theMan of Steelactor will appear inDeadpool 3.
This sounds more like a fan fiction story, but the scooper stated that Cavill will show up as a multiverse variant of Wolverine. The character will also be donning a “long brown coat,” as per the source.
Henry Cavill Reportedly Debuting In The MCU As Wolverine
Giant Freakin Robotwas the source of this rumor withHenry Cavillfinally making his debut in the MCU. For the past couple of months, the world wide web has been full of speculations that the former DCEU actor will play Captain Britain or Doctor Doom. Fans have also been lobbying for this.

The same source assured fans, though, that despite the actor’s cameo inDeadpool and Wolverine, he can still show up as another hero (or villain) in other MCU franchises. Interestingly, Cavill’s Wolverine will reportedly be a one-off.
But since this is not an official announcement from Marvel Studios, fans should still take this rumor with a grain of salt. The insider’s track record in the past has been quite a hit-and-miss so there’s really no certainty.
In any case, fans are already deeply invested in this concept. Many have seen the potential of Cavill playingWolverineeven if it is only a variant, and people will be absolutely devastated if this does not become a reality.
Henry Cavill Won’t Be the First DC Actor Who Will Be Making His MCU Debut if the Captain Britain Rumors Are True
The rumor has been circulating online for as early as 2020, and many have seen a lot of artwork and fan-made videos where Cavill stuns as Wolverine, so it is safe to say that, if the actor indeed shows up inDeadpool and Wolverine, his cameo was a long time coming.

It is quite a tricky road whatDeadpool and Wolverineis paving following the reports of Cavill playing the clawed mutant. Marvel Studios has previously experienced this before, and it did not fare well withDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
Remember when everyone was sayingMission: ImpossiblestarTom Cruisewill become Earth-838 Iron Man? In the wake ofRobert Downey Jr.’s exit from the MCU, fans were still mourning the death of Tony Stark, so the rumor of Cruise playing the invincible hero even as a variant gave them hope that they would see Iron Man once again.

Of course, it did not happen, and it was one of the most upsetting things about the movie. The film’s writer, Michael Waldron, once revealed toSYFYthat he originally wanted to bring theTop Gunactor to the MCU, but his jam-packed schedule did not permit him.
If the report is true about Cavill finally making his entrance into the MCU viaDeadpool and Wolverine, then it is positively a whole new era for the actor as he officially becomes a Marvel star.
Deadpool and Wolverinearrives in theaters on August 21, 2025.
