Culture news Henry Cavill “steals” the role of Hugh Jackman. Ryan Reynolds has many ideas for relaunching Marvel in cinemas in 2024
The rumors follow one another, and this time they are similar. Henry Cavill is reportedly set to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but in a role that few MCU fans had anticipated. The one who was Superman and the Witcher Geralt of Rivia would in a certain way “steal” a role that rightfully belongs to Hugh Jackman.
A multiverse in crisis
Nothing is going well at Disney anymore. The goose that lays the golden eggs “Marvel” seems to have the greatest difficulty in rekindling the flame of yesteryear. Since Avengers: Endgame in 2019, the MCU has struggled to revive. The crisis seems even deeper than that to the point where the release schedule in 2024 is reduced week after week while projects are postponed or even canceled. This year, superhero fans will have to settle for just one feature film, but not just any feature film.
Deadpool & Wolverine (formerly Deadpool 3) will be released in France on July 24. This third episode of the least politically correct mercenary from the House of Ideas officially marks the arrival of Deadpool (and the X-Men) in the Marvel Cinematic Universe with the aim of unblocking Disney’s cash machine. To respond favorably to Disney’s “wishful thinking”, Ryan Reynolds who plays Deadpool called on his friend and actor Hugh Jackman, just to arouse the interest of fans of Logan and mutants.
This return to the cinema of Wolverine is made possible by the multiverse set up following the defeat of Thanos. The Loki series, the second and final season of which was broadcast on Disney+ in 2023, as well as the films Spider-Man: No Way Home and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, introduced this concept which offers Disney a plethora of opportunities to bring back characters and parachute others into the MCU. Professor Xavier and Venom are just two examples among many others.

Henry Cavill versus Hugh Jackman
Wolverine pulls out his claws to shred the MCU in July 2024, but not necessarily in the costume that we have known so far in the cinema. Indeed, In the first set photos, Hugh Jackman sports Wolverine’s historic “yellow and blue” costume. This aesthetic choice did not fail to provoke a positive reaction from fans who had been hoping for years to see the “real” Serval on the big screen. However, an actor who has been particularly popular in recent years could steal the spotlight by stealing his role.
The information comes to us from our colleagues at Giant Freakin Robot who have the “scoop” from an anonymous source described as “reliable”. Henry Cavill will make a notable appearance in Deadpool & Wolverine. We even know the character that the British actor will play. Contrary to the latest rumors which mentioned Captain Britain, Henry Cavill will don the costume of a variant of Wolverine (aka Logan), in this case a long brown coat confides the insider.
