According to updates by IGN as shared by Rejected Scooper on X, the highly anticipated movie Deadpool & Wolverine, set to land on screens on July 26, 2024, will feature a version of Wolverine with the yellow and brown suit. This is the variant that is said to come face-to-face with the Hulk in the upcoming Marvel flick. The theory suggests that this is where the MCU is to rope in Hollywood's Superman, Henry Cavill, to render justice to the role. 

If this is all to be believed, Henry Cavill's potential casting as Wolverine in the MCU suggests a deliberate attempt to repurpose his iconic DC role for Marvel's benefit. This move mirrors Marvel's successful revival of the Hulk after two failed solo films, integrating him into the Avengers franchise. The crossover thus does not sound entirely impossible, sparking excitement among fans and raising questions about the MCU's plans for Cavill's Wolverine.

Superhero enthusiasts are eager to see the former DC star bring a new character to life in the MCU. As the news unfolds, fans come on high alert, waiting for official confirmation from Marvel.
