Henry Cavill recently made a cameo appearance in the new Marvel movie, where he humorously addressed his infamous facial hair situation. In a photo shared on Instagram, Cavill joked about shaving off just his mustache for the role, referencing the past CGI debacle in Justice League due to his facial hair commitments for Mission: Impossible — Fallout.
The British actor appeared in a montage in the film alongside Deadpool and Wolverine, played by Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, respectively. The scene was filled with comic book references and meta jokes, delighting fans who had speculated about Cavill's involvement in the movie.
Director Shawn Levy revealed that many of the movie's cameos, including Cavill's, were a result of personal outreach by Reynolds rather than traditional agent channels. Levy shared that Cavill, despite enjoying his role as the 'Cavillerine,' faced some challenges after smoking a cigar for multiple takes during filming.
Despite the initial surprise of Cavill's cameo, fans cheered loudly during his appearance, leading to some dialogue being missed. The movie, Deadpool and Wolverine, has already become the highest-grossing R-rated film ever, earning over $824 million worldwide in just two weekends.
