Speculation about Henry Cavill’s involvement in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has increased following his cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine. According to reports, Cavill is in talks for a more substantial role within the MCU, potentially beyond his appearance as a Wolverine variant. This follows his brief return as Superman in Black Adam and ongoing discussions about his future in superhero franchises.
Rumors suggest Henry Cavill could get a full MCU role
Following his surprise appearance as “The Cavillrine,” a Wolverine variant, in Deadpool & Wolverine, rumors have emerged that Henry Cavill is in talks for a full role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
This rumor was first shared by scooper MyTimeToShineHello on X (formerly Twitter), who stated, “I hear Henry Cavill in talks for a full role in the MCU.”
Cavill’s appearance as a Wolverine variant has led to speculation that he could either continue in the role or take on another character in the MCU. While Wolverine remains a possibility, some reports suggest Cavill might portray Captain Britain, a character he previously expressed interest in during a 2021 interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
Cavill stated, “That would be loads of fun to do a cool, modernized version of that – like the way they modernized Captain America. There’s something fun about that, and I do love being British.”
Since his brief return as Superman in Black Adam, Cavill has been without a superhero franchise. Rumors about his involvement in the MCU have persisted. In addition to his rumored Wolverine variant role, Cavill had previously been linked to playing Hyperion in Loki season 2. However, he denied the speculation at the time.
Although no official confirmation has come, reports about Cavill’s potential full role in the MCU continue to emerge. If confirmed, this would mark a significant transition in his superhero career from DC to Marvel.
