Henry Cavill’s brief yet memorable appearance as Wolverine in Deadpool & Wolverine left fans buzzing. While Cavill is best known as DC’s Superman, his cameo as a Logan variant in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) added a surprising twist. New concept art reveals that Cavill’s Wolverine could have sported a slightly different look in the film, sparking even more speculation about his potential future in the MCU’s Multiverse Saga.
Alternative Looks for Henry Cavill’s Wolverine in Deadpool & Wolverine
In Deadpool & Wolverine, Henry Cavill’s portrayal of Wolverine was a standout moment in a montage where Deadpool visits various multiverse versions of the iconic character. Cavill’s Logan was depicted in a simple white tank top and jeans, complemented by Wolverine’s signature pointy hair and mutton chops. However, concept artist Wesley Burt recently shared alternative designs on Twitter that show how Cavill’s Wolverine could have looked slightly different.
These concept designs include variations with different flannel shirts, although the final version that appeared in the movie stuck to a more classic, rugged look. While these alternative outfits didn’t make it to the big screen, they offer a glimpse into the creative process behind Cavill’s cameo and how his version of Wolverine could have diverged from the one we saw.
Will Henry Cavill Return as Wolverine in the MCU?
Following his cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine, fans have been clamoring for more of Cavill’s Wolverine in the MCU. Given how well he fit the role in his brief appearance, it’s easy to see why. However, the possibility of Cavill taking on the role in future MCU projects seems slim, primarily due to his age. At 41, Cavill might be considered too old to play Wolverine when Marvel’s X-Men reboot likely arrives after 2027’s Avengers: Secret Wars.
Cavill’s Future in the Multiverse Saga
Even if Cavill doesn’t end up as the main Wolverine in the MCU’s future, there are still opportunities for his Logan to return before the Multiverse Saga concludes. Two major Avengers movies are on the horizon, with Avengers: Doomsday focusing on the MCU’s core heroes. The second, Avengers: Secret Wars, is expected to feature the largest ensemble cast in live-action superhero history.
In Secret Wars, MCU heroes and multiverse characters may unite to battle Doctor Doom, potentially on Battleworld if the film follows the comics. This would be a perfect opportunity for Cavill’s Wolverine to make a significant comeback. He could play a key role among the multiverse heroes who join forces with the Avengers, much like his part in Deadpool & Wolverine. Alternatively, Cavill might return for another brief but impactful cameo, offering fans one last look at his version of Wolverine before the saga ends.
Conclusion: A Glimpse of What Could Have Been and What Might Still Be
Henry Cavill’s Wolverine in Deadpool & Wolverine showcased a fresh take on the beloved character, and the recently revealed concept art offers fans a fascinating “what if” scenario. While the likelihood of Cavill continuing as Wolverine in the MCU remains uncertain, the Multiverse Saga holds the potential for his return in some capacity. Whether in a substantial role or a fleeting cameo, fans are eager to see Cavill’s Wolverine again as the MCU continues to expand its multiverse narrative.
