After many months of speculation about Deadpool 3 and which actors would be part of the cast, some names have slowly been revealed (or leaked). The latest of these has been Henry Cavill.

The iconic actor who portrayed Superman in DC could have joined Marvel for the third and final installment of Ryan Reynolds‘ comedic superhero. This time, the movie will be titled Deadpool & Wolverine.

Hugh Jackman will once again bring his character to life, which he has portrayed for multiple years in various productions. According to Giant Freakin’ Robot, the star of Argylle will join the MCU as a variant

Indeed, Henry Cavill will not only join the MCU but will also bring to life one of the Wolverine variants in the third movie of Deadpool. Although his cameo has not yet been confirmed by him, it is known that the cast will be stellar, so it wouldn’t be far-fetched.

The Superman actor would portray a different version of Logan. Giant Freakin’ Robot confirmed the news and provided some details about his involvement, stating that the star will wear “a long brown coat” in his scenes. While it might seem like just a colorful detail, it suggests it could be true.

If the former DC member has indeed accepted the role of this new character, it would mark his grand debut alongside Marvel Studios. It’s a smart move by the company as, since the end of the Infinity Saga, they’ve been seeking ways to reconnect with the audience and regain their shine.

Several insiders have confirmed that Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman won’t be the only big figures in the cast, quite the opposite. Many celebrities have agreed to cameos, and others even have supporting roles, promising a wide variety of talent.

Anyway, until Cavill confirms his presence or any of the sources close to the project directed by Shawn Levy, which follows the X-Force, we’ll have to wait for its grand premiere, scheduled for July 26, 2024.
