Henry Cavill was interviewed by Empire Magazine recently and they could help but ask him about the mustache debacle in Justice League.
When we decided to go for the mustache, I certainly wasn’t expecting all the events to unfold as they were going to unfold. I wasn’t expecting Justice League reshoots to be as extensive as they were. As you will see when [Mission: Impossible – Fallout] comes out, to have a fake mustache on would not have been a possibility.
Well, that whole concept was faintly ridiculous and I honestly believe everyone viewed it as such.
Of course, if I’m on the press tour I’m in the movie. Obviously, you knew, and that was a different little tap dance we danced together. But for the audience, I wanted to leave some mystery. I think it’s important to have some mystery in movies these days.
