Henry Cavill's surprise cameo as a Wolverine variant in Deadpool & Wolverine has sent shockwaves through the fandom, with fans speculating about the potential for a long-term collaboration between the actor and the MCU. The question on everyone's minds is whether this is a one-off appearance or a strategic move by Marvel Studios hinting at a possible role for Cavill in the highly anticipated Avengers: Secret Wars.

Here's everything we know about whether Cavill will return as Wolverine in a future MCU project.

As of late July 2024, Disney or Marvel have yet to officially confirm whether Henry Cavill will return as Wolverine in Avengers: Secret Wars.

His appearance in Deadpool & Wolverine is most likely a surprise cameo, a way to please fans who have been speculating about it. However, the general reaction to Cavill's appearance has been positive. So, now that he's no longer DC's Superman, he could return as Wolverine in Avengers: Secret Wars, which opens in theaters on May 7, 2027.
