Henry Cavill's Horror Movie Wolverine Would Be Great For The MCU
There are many ways that Marvel can incorporate Wolverine into the MCU, but Henry Cavill's horror movie take on Logan would be one of the most interesting. Hugh Jackman's Wolverine is iconic, and attempting to do another interpretation similar to that could create unnecessary comparisons. However, if Henry Cavill was cast as Wolverine, he would be perfect to bring out a new side of the most famous member of the X-Men.
The idea of a horror version of Wolverine played by Henry Cavill has been circulating on the internet for a while now, with the concept originating from Dall-E mini, an AI art generator. When given the prompt "Henry Cavill as Wolverine," it produces images of the actor in the role, but with a horribly distorted face. While creepy, this AI art of Henry Cavill as Wolverine accidentally created one of the most unique takes on Logan in the MCU.
While the character wouldn't actually have a distorted face, the idea of a more horrific Wolverine in the MCU is an intriguing one. One aspect of Wolverine that was left out of Fox's X-Men movies was Wolverine's rage, which is a staple of the character in the comics. While Hugh Jackman's version was easily-annoyed and belligerent, a horror Wolverine could show off the primal rage that is key to the character. A more villainous take on Wolverine would give the MCU a fresh version of the character while also staying true to his Berserker Rage.
Could Henry Cavill Actually Play Wolverine In The MCU?
Hypothetically, Henry Cavill could play a fantastic Wolverine, especially a villainous one. Cavill has a history portraying superheroes, having played Superman in the DCEU, so he is no stranger to massive cinematic universes. On top of that, Cavill's Superman in Man of Steel is a darker take on the character, which a horror Wolverine would be as well. Cavill's Superman stoicism isn't the only trait that he could carry over to Wolverine, though. Cavill plays an antagonist in Mission Impossible: Fallout, and this rudeness combined with Cavill's physicality could create a fantastic Wolverine.
While the idea started with an AI-generated image, a darker Wolverine played by Henry Cavill could work amazingly. Cavill has the talent and name recognition to pull off the iconic X-Man, but the violence and rage would add a never before seen aspect to the character and the MCU. Henry Cavill's previous movies have shown that he is capable of pulling off the role, and a horror Wolverine in the MCU could be perfect.
