Deadpool & Wolverine featured one of the most jaw-dropping cameos in MCU history thanks to a special brief appearance from a DCEU actor.
For the past few months, fans have been speculating which actors might make cameo appearances in the highly-anticipated MCU film as it is expected to feature a multiversal adventure with the titular heroes.
It has been widely speculated that some of the cameos will be coming from the actors who starred in the Fox Marvel movies. As it turns out, that wasn't only the case as the star of a rival superhero franchise also surprisingly showed up in the film.
Spoiler Warning: This article includes spoilers for Deadpool & Wolverine, so proceed with caution.
Henry Cavill Appears as Wolverine Variant in Deadpool and Wolverine
Henry Cavill, known to many fans as the DCEU's Superman, surprisingly made a cameo appearance in Deadpool and Wolverine.
He appeared as a Wolverine variant during a montage that happened earlier in the film where Deadpool is visiting multiple universes to find a version of the mutant that will save his timeline.
During the brief moment, Deadpool was approaching a Wolverine variant, who is busy fixing his motorcycle. Initially, we only saw his back.
The mysterious Wolverine variant turned around and it was revealed to be Cavill playing him. Just like most fans who were also watching the film, Deadpool was shocked to see the DCEU star's version of the mutant and called him the "Cavill-rine."
Deadpool quipped that he would be treated better than the "sh*t box down the street" (most likely referring to DC). However, the Cavill-rine was not amused and unleashed his claws to push Deadpool back to a different universe.
There is no doubt that this is one of the most shocking cameos that we've seen in the MCU considering that no fans would have expected to see the former Superman actor, who was anchoring the DCEU during his tenure, pop up in the film and play a variant of one of Marvel's most iconic characters.
While it's been rumored that he might show up in the film, it's still a jaw-dropping moment for fans who were watching in theaters since they are in disbelief that they pulled it off effectively.
It is unknown yet whether Cavill's cameo will have an implication on his potential MCU future, but hopefully, we will be able to hear the actor's comments soon regarding how his surprise appearance was pulled off.
Deadpool & Wolverine is now showing in theaters everywhere.
