BACK IN THE summer, keen followers of the movie industry would have come across numerous news stories concerning Henry Cavill’s moustache and the drama it was creating.
It was reported that the director of Justice League (a film produced by Warner Bros) called him and the cast back in for extensive reshoots. Cavill was already committed to his role in Mission Impossible 6 (produced by Paramount), and they let him take part in the reshoots, but they wouldn’t let him shave off his moustache.
It was a battle between two massive studios, and one innocent moustache.
The solution was agreed that Justice League would digitally edit out the moustache in post-production.
Grand.
