Though his involvement was rumored prior to the movie's release, one of the biggest surprises in Deadpool and Wolverine for anyone who hadn't been keeping up with the online scuttlebutt was a cameo from none other than Man of Steel star Henry Cavill as a Wolverine variant Wade Wilson refers to as "The Cavillerine."
The former DCEU actor shows up when the Merc With a Mouth is searching the Multiverse for another version of Logan he can present to the TVA as a new Anchor Being. Wade is very excited to see Cavill, and tells him that Marvel Studios will treat him much better than "those sh*tf*cks down the street."
Now, Cavill has taken to social media to share a first official still of The Cavellerine, playfully captioning his post: "To be safe, I shaved the moustache off for this one. Just the moustache."
There's been some speculation that Cavill might end up taking over from Hugh Jackman as the MCU's Wolverine. It's possible, but we'd say this was more likley a one-off appearance.

“Marvel Studios presents their most significant mistake to date - Deadpool & Wolverine," reads the new synopsis. "A listless Wade Wilson toils away in civilian life. His days as the morally flexible mercenary, Deadpool, behind him. When his homeworld faces an existential threat, Wade must reluctantly suit-up again with an even more reluctantlier... reluctanter? Reluctantest? He must convince a reluctant Wolverine to - F*ck. Synopses are so f*cking stupid.”
