Fans had high hopes for Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman’s Deadpool & Wolverine before its release. Now that a good amount of time has passed since the film came out, it is safe to say that it lived up to the fans’ expectations. From the mind-blowing action sequences to Henry Cavill’s Wolverine, there wasn’t a moment in the film where fans could take their eyes off the screen.
Another great thing about Deadpool & Wolverine is Channing Tatum’s cameo as Gambit. After a long string of disappointments, the actor was finally able to bring his Marvel dream to reality in the film leading to hundreds of thousands of people calling for a solo Gambit film. However, in the midst of all the love being showered upon Channing Tatum, Ryan Reynolds is making sure that people don’t forget the CavillRine!
Ryan Reynolds Hasn’t Forgotten Henry Cavill’s MCU Debut
There is unending fan support for Channing Tatum and his portrayal of the Ragin’ Cajun Remy LeBeau, best known as Gambit. And while it looks like he stole the spotlight in the film, Ryan Reynolds has not forgotten about yet another cameo in the movie which made the audience jump out of their seats.
On a mission to find the replacement for Wolverine, Deadpool travels across universes to try and find one that will work for him. After a series of disappointments, he finally comes across a buff and broody variant who has his back turned to our main hero.
As the Wolverine showed off his body, Deadpool being Deadpool commented on the fact that he looked like Henry Cavill from the back. When the variant finally turns to show his face, Deadpool is as excited as the audience to have him there and immediately takes a dig at DCEU.
About a month later since the release of Deadpool & Wolverine, Cavill posted a casual photo of himself enjoying the weekend as he grilled a steak.
The comments were full of fans fawning over the actor (why wouldn’t they?) but there was one comment in particular that caught everyone’s attention – Reynolds’.
Cavill’s co-star simply wrote “The CavillRine!”
It looks like Reynolds is not going to forget about the small cameo anytime soon and we are only hoping that the CavillRine actually ends up having a meatier role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Channing Tatum’s Gambit Redemption
Tatum had always wanted to play Gambit and tried a ton to get his version to live-action. Unfortunately, fate had other plans. Now that he finally got his win with Deadpool 3, it seems like the fans don’t want Kevin Feige to let him go, not without a solo movie.
A deleted scene from the film, posted by Reynolds, pushed the idea that Gambit will return to the MCU, sooner or later. All there is left to do is wait and hope for the best.
Tatum opened up about being brought back to play Gambit in a heartfelt message for Reynolds and Shawn Levy. He posted side-by-side photos of him with Reynolds at Comic-Con. While one is from ten years ago during the preview of Deadpool, the other is very recent.
He wrote,
These pictures are almost 10 years apart to the day. I sat in the audience when Ryan Reynolds showed his first peek of Deadpool 1 to the world and I think I ran back stage right after and found him and I think I just hugged him and was like holy shit you did it man. It’s perfect. I didn’t know him really at all back then. But since then I can say that there is almost no one that has had my back in this industry more than. I thought I had lost Gambit forever. But he fought for me and Gambit. I will owe him probably forever.
