It’s been so long since we had seen Hugh Jackman brandish his adamantium claws and slice away at his enemies on the big screen. But in the upcomingDeadpool and Wolverine, we will witness the star doing his iconic Wolverine things soon enough. But as if this wasn’t enough, there are now rumors that joining Ryan Reynolds and Jackman will be a former DCEU star.

There had been several reports even in the past that suggested that Henry Cavill, who is iconic for playing the role of Superman in the now-dismantled DC cinematic universe, might appear in the film as a variant of Wolverine. But now, an insider source reveals that Cavill will indeed be introduced in the franchise in this manner in the upcoming film.
