Man of Steel star Henry Cavill has broken his silence over that Deadpool & Wolverine cameo.

Marking his MCU debut, the former DC Extended Universe star surprised fans when he appeared in the latest Deadpool movie as a version of Wolverine.

Playfully referred to by Deadpool as 'The Cavillerine', Cavill makes his appearance after Wade Wilson goes in search of a new Anchor Being Wolverine.

After searching the Multiverse for a new Logan, the Merc With a Mouth finds Cavill, telling him that Marvel Studios will treat him better than "those shitf**ks down the street".

Taking to Instagram to address his cameo for the first time, Cavill shared an image of himself in character as The Cavillerine.

"To be safe, I shaved the moustache off for this one. Just the moustache. @SLevyDirect @VanCityReynolds @TheHughJackman #DeadpoolAndWolverine," he captioned the post.

Fans were quick to share their delight at Cavill's involvement in the movie, with one fan commenting on the post: "The most epic arm reload in cinematic history, everyone cheered when you appeared on screen."

"Loved seeing you pop up. The theater went nuts," shared another.

"Henry, you will make a great Wolverine if Hugh Jackman steps down. You Reloaded those claws," penned one fan.

Another commented: "You haven’t met a role you cannot tackle. Long live Cavillerine!"

Back in 2022, Cavill announced that he would not be continuing as the World of DC's Superman, despite returning to the role for a cameo in Black Adam.

"The changing of the guard is something that happens. I respect that," Cavill wrote on Instagram at the time. "James and Peter have a universe to build. I wish them, and all involved with the new universe, the best of luck, and the happiest of fortunes."

Deadpool & Wolverine is now playing in cinemas.

Unilever's pricing shift may have attracted shoppers in third quarter
Investors are looking to Unilever's third-quarter results on Thursday to see if the consumer goods group has started to claw back some market share lost to cheaper rivals as it seeks to balance sales volumes and margins. The packaged food industry, including Unilever, had to raise prices to cope with cost increases during the pandemic, while grain and energy became more expensive after Russia's Ukraine invasion. At their peak in the fourth quarter of 2022, Unilever's underlying price increases were 13.3%, with prices at its home care business up nearly 17% and prices at its ice cream business about 14% higher in that period.
