"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.
