r/deadpool on Reddit: Henry Cavill's Wolverine was both one of the very best and very worst parts of Deadpool 3
December 4, 2024 -

Please, dear Jesus, hear me out, folks. Yes, everything else about that scene was perfect; the lighting, the shot of him revving his motorcycle and the smoke billowing from that cigar in his mouth, as well as the hair and the makeup and the look in his face as he delivers his one line; "You were just leavin".

But then they go and ruin it. By doing what exactly? Calling him "The Cavillrine". Well done, Ryan Reynolds. You just stigmatised him. You just memed him. Now, if Henry Cavill ever does come back to the MCU as Earth 616's Wolverine, no one is gonna see him as a new version of Wolverine who just so happens to be played by Henry Cavill and is totally its own unique thing. They're just gonna see a version of Wolverine whose only defining trait is that he is played by Henry Cavill.

Now, compare this with John Krasinski's cameo as Reed Richards in Multiverse of Madness. Whilst this too was an example of a long-awaited fancast brought to life, but done absolutely horrendously, at least when Krasinski showed up on screen, Dr. Strange didn't make a joke about how Reed looked EXACTLY LIKE JOHN KRASINSKI!!!

Of course, as I write this, I'm already anticipating people jumping to the film's defence by bringing up the fact that in the previous film, Deadpool calls cable Thanos. But, that instance of meta-humour worked better because Deadpool doesn't make that reference until much later in the film; until we as the audience had enough time to get attached to Josh Brolin's amazing portrayal as Cable, despite us already having been invested in his portrayal as Thanos in the main MCU timeline for the 3 years leading up to that movie. In fact, it's the jarring delay in that observation itself, which makes it so funny in the first place.

Granted, the "Cavillrine" wasn't given the full two hours to bond with the audience. But even if you had just kept the line; "we'll treat you so much better than those shit fucks down the street", that would've been fine. The audience would've already got that it was a subtle reference to Henry Cavill's poor experience working with DC. Worst case scenario is that people misinterpret that line as just being a reference to the X-men, which funnily enough would actually be even better because the audience would be separating this version of Wolverine from the actor playing him.
