One of the more surprising cameos in the movie is the fleeting presence of Henry Cavill in the role of a Wolverine variant.

We see Deadpool approach an absolutely jacked Wolverine from behind, but when he turns around, it's Cavill rocking some truly feral facial hair.

Given that Cavill has been regularly considered a top pick to replace Jackman as a new version of Wolverine over the years, this is clearly a cute nod to that possibility.

Also, Mission: Impossible fans might get a kick out of Cavill doing the very same "arm reload" movement he did in Mission: Impossible - Fallout moments before he beats the hell out of Deadpool.
