LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Marvel's highly anticipated 'Deadpool & Wolverine' has finally hit the big screen, much to the excitement of fans who were treated to a rather unexpected cameo in the movie by DC's former Superman, Henry Cavill.

After months of promotional material, from Super Bowl ads to beer commercials, and countless rumors about potential cameos, the movie had a lot of expectations to live up to.

Despite the enormous hype, the Marvel flick has managed to exceed expectations, delivering a visually stunning and hilariously entertaining experience.

The film's action-packed sequences and clever dialogues kept audiences engaged, but it was the star-studded cameos that truly stole the show.

Among these, Channing Tatum's Gambit and Jennifer Garner's Elektra were notable, but one unexpected cameo left audiences and fans buzzing—Henry Cavill as Wolverine, RadioTimes reported.

'Deadpool & Wolverine' showcased Ryan Reynolds' exceptional humor and perfect portrayal of Deadpool, alongside Hugh Jackman's return as Wolverine.

In one of the movie's most memorable scenes, Wade Wilson, aka Deadpool, explores the multiverse in search of a suitable Wolverine to replace the one his world lost. This scene featured a montage of various Wolverines, including one portrayed by none other than Cavill.

Known for his role as Superman in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU), Cavill's appearance was a pleasant surprise, resonating with fans on both sides of the superhero fandom.

Cavill's portrayal of Superman has been iconic, capturing the essence of the beloved comic book character.

His performances in 'Man of Steel', 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice', and 'Justice League' showcased his ability to embody the duality of Clark Kent and Kal-El. Cavill's physique, charisma, and dedication to the role made him a fan favorite, and many considered him the perfect Superman.

However, Cavill's tenure as the Man of Steel was cut short when news broke that he would not be reprising his role in the upcoming DC Universe (DCU) reboot under James Gunn.

This decision shocked fans and sparked outrage across social media platforms. Many felt that Cavill's departure was unceremonious and undeserved, given his popularity and the potential for future Superman stories.

The inclusion of Cavill in 'Deadpool & Wolverine' felt like a nod to the actor's legacy, offering a glimpse of what could have been if he had taken on the mantle of Wolverine.

In the montage, Cavill's imposing physique and presence stood out, earning him the moniker "Cavillrine" among fans. The scene not only delighted audiences but also raised questions about Cavill's future in the superhero genre.

One of the most talked-about moments in 'Deadpool & Wolverine' was a line delivered by Deadpool himself, "On behalf of all humanity, this just feels right. We will treat you so much better than those st f*s down the street," a clear jab at DC.

This statement, coupled with Cavill's cameo, has led to widespread speculation that the actor might be considering a transition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

The internet was quick to react to Henry Cavill's cameo in 'Deadpool & Wolverine', with many social media users hoping that the actor would transition to the MCU.

One X user wrote, "He deserves another chance at playing iconic characters," while another commented, "He could have easily been the best Superman. But they ruined the entire project. Marvel should just cast him as Wolverine, Cyclops, Captain Britain, Magneto, etc. He just has that look that makes him perfect for many characters."

Another fan expressed hope, saying, "He was so good! Hopefully he becomes the main MCU Wolverine." Others echoed similar sentiments, with one remarking, "Henry Cavill will be more respected in the MCU," and another adding, "Henry for the main dr doom please."

One person highlighted, "Not only treat you better, but pay you better as well. We know how big those bonuses are." Another quipped, "Of course, they'll treat him better! They've already included him in one movie that didn't suck. That's sure as hell more than Snyder ever did for him."

One individual said, "Obviously Marvel knows the value of Brand Name."
