Deadpool & Wolverine Actor Was “Sick” After Filming Surprise Cameo

In a surprising turn of events for the film industry, the highly anticipated Deadpool & Wolverine featured an unexpected cameo by Henry Cavill, best known for his role as Superman. Director Shawn Levy shared that Cavill's portrayal of Wolverine, humorously dubbed "the Cavillrine" by Ryan Reynolds, came about amidst Cavill's transition away from DC. The actor impressed with his dedication, shooting scenes while inhaling cigar smoke for hours, which culminated in him feeling "sick to his stomach" afterward. Despite this, Cavill maintained his performance throughout the lengthy shoot. The film is currently performing well, projected to reach $1 billion at the box office, and has already broken the record for the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time.

Henry Cavill's cameo was strategically cast by director Shawn Levy following Cavill's exit from the Superman role. It served as a humorous nod to the current state of comic book cinema while allowing Cavill to showcase his impressive physique and charm in a new light as an alternate Wolverine.

Deadpool & Wolverine is part of the Marvel cinematic franchise, bringing together a unique blend of humor, action, and superhero culture. The film not only features Reynolds as Deadpool but also plays with audience expectations through its multiverse-driven narrative that includes various characters from across comic book lore. This has contributed to the film's massive anticipation and successful box office performance.
