Nintendo has said the Wii cannot be used to play DVDs. It would need more than a software upgrade, The hardware that is out can't do it.

Do you have a link to a Nintendo announcement or press release for that? I'm not doubting you, I'm just curious as to how they phrased it. Thx

Here is a link to an article on game informer. I might have been wrong about the launch wii never being able to play DVDs but it still seems unlikely

It might have a chance if nintendo were to charge you accordingly for the update...
