One Deadpool & Wolverine Moment Made Henry Cavill Sick

Henry Cavill’s time in the DC Universe has come to an end, with DC Studios casting David Corenswet as its new Clark Kent / Superman. The changing of the guard with the Last Son of Krypton allowed Cavill to make the leap to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in pretty shocking fashion. During Deadpool & Wolverine, the Merc With a Mouth is traversing the multiverse looking for the best version of Wolverine he can. That’s when he comes across a Logan that isn’t played by Hugh Jackman. Instead, it’s played by Cavill himself.

Although he’s is only in one scene, Deadpool & Wolverine helmer Shawn Levy says Cavill’s single day of filming still ended up making the actor sick for one peculiar reason: all the cigar smoke he inhaled during 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,” Levy said in a new piece with the New York Times. “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.”
