Why Henry Cavill was ‘sick to his stomach’ after shooting ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ cameo
new Marvel movie as a variant of Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine named “Cavillrine.”Director Shawn Levy told the New York Times that Cavill committed to his role — so much so that the actor “was sick to his stomach” the day after filming.“I think we all were, including poor Henry Cavill, who not only had that pumped-up muscular body but kept that cigar lit and in his mouth for the entirety of the shoot day,” said Levy, 56, in the interview published Monday.“I remember hearing the next day that Henry was sick to his stomach because he had been inhaling cigar smoke for eight hours straight, but never once did he waver,” he added.Levy also revealed that part of the reason Cavill was cast in “Deadpool & Wolverine” was to play into him losing his role as Superman in the DC movies.“In the case of Henry, it was not long after everything went down with DC, and word came that Henry was being replaced as Superman,” Levy explained.He continued: “Given that Deadpool is in constant conversation with culture, it felt like a great opportunity to first of all cast Henry Cavill in a part that he would kick ass at, but also to poke fun at that other comic-book-founded movie studio and play with some self-awareness there.”Cavill broke his silence on his surprise “Deadpool 3” appearance on Instagram Tuesday.“To be safe, I shaved the moustache off for this one. Just the moustache,” he wrote, alongside a photo of his character smoking a cigar.
