Why Henry Cavill Said Yes To His Marvel Cameo In Deadpool & Wolverine
By WITNEY SEIBOLD
In “Deadpool & Wolverine,” Deadpool approaches a Wolverine fixing a motorcycle in a dingy garage, but the variant is not played by Hugh Jackman but by British actor Henry Cavill.
As Deadpool is aware
that he is in a movie, he addresses this Wolverine as Henry Cavill. He even calls him "Cavillrine," a nickname Ryan Reynolds coined.
In an interview with Variety, director Shawn Levy said Cavill was happy to provide a quick cameo and added that the actor appeared
for two simple reasons.
One, the appearance was just playful fun, and two, he thought the jump from DC to Marvel was amusing. Which avid comics fans will know the significance of.
