Tom Cruise sang the Superman theme to Henry Cavill on the 'Mission: Impossible' set

on Tom Cruise sang the Superman theme to Henry Cavill on the 'Mission: Impossible' set

Tom Cruise, Henry Cavill, Simon Pegg, and Rebecca Ferguson were guests on The Graham Norton Show yesterday to promote their upcoming movie, Mission: Impossible - Fallout. Pegg told a funny story about a car chase stunt they were doing over the course of multiple takes.

After being sick of being in a cramped car, Cavill decided to get some fresh air and run back to the stunt's starting point, rather than ride in the car with everyone else. Pegg said that he and Cruise would sing the classic Superman theme song to Cavill as they were driving by him.

"It's one of the coolest moments of my life, having Tom Cruise do that while driving next to you," Cavill said of the funny on set moment. Check it out in the video above.

The first Mission: Impossible - Fallout trailer will debut next weekend during the Super Bowl. Hopefully it includes the extreme stunt that Cavill took part in, which was apparently one of the reasons why Paramount wouldn't allow him to shave his mustache for the Justice League reshoots.

    I hope Mission Impossibile VI would be as good as MI V.

    I hope MI VI justify Cavill's mustache,that's the thing I am mostly looking forward to.If not then WB & DC were fucked by Paramount big time.

      i mean how much can it really be justified? Its not like his mustache is going to be responsible for saving the world.

          i dont see how a slightly odd looking upper lip ruins the entirety of the DCEU and its future but whatever

      They weren't ''fucked'' by Paramount at all, Cavill was under contract with them and they allowed him to do some reshoots for WB, it's not their problems if WB/DC had difficulties doing their JL, as a matter of fact, they were nice enough to let him go and do his scenes... but they had all the right to give some conditions since they ''own'' the actor. So yeah trust me Paramount's move was all legit, they didn't want to risk their own production to some incompetent producers who wasn't smart at the beginning (letting Snyder do his movie and then interfere because they weren't happy at all). Can you believe that WB tried to negotiate the Cavill's shave and they would've tried to fix his face by adding the state in CG... would you like to risk that for your movie ? they were already ruining their own (or trying to save it as much as they can) but would you let another cook try to do your cake ?

      MI:Fallout will be remembered with Cavill moustache as a great character, while J.L will be forgotten and remembered because of the attempt to fix his stache... two movies, the worst gotta go and the best stay.

        Fake mustaches aren't that hard to do and cost way less than CGI. I think thats what most people are frustrated about. Im sure WB tried to negotiate with Paramount and I think even offered to pay for it. They could have just been nice tbh. If there was no word said about Cavill having a fake mustache, nobody likely would have noticed. And honestly, had nobody known about the CGI upper lip, many probably would not have even noticed that. I knew about it going in and after my first viewing of JL I had no idea what people were talkinga bout. It wasn't until repeat viewings and I was specifically looking for it that I noticed that something seemed "slightly" off about Cavill's face. And either way, the moments that people are making fun of are mostly just standard "pause face" tbh. The one where Supes says "do you bleed" to Batman was not weird because of the CGI. It was weird because Cavill had this sort of sadistic smile when he said it

          I think some people would have noticed the effect even without all the drama that had happen, but yeah fake moustache are easy to do, but at the end of the day paramount was protecting their project wich is normal at this point. This is a business, and people may be willing to make effort ''to help'' but not at the sake of their own stuff, and I'm sure Paramount had some discussion with their own board before refusing WB offers, they didn't saw any good end with their WB's solution. The only people to blame here are (and still) the same : Kevin Tsujihara, Snyder-Terrio, Roven... they all share JL fiasco because of their bad decision... how is it even possible that these people who are making millions and millions of dollar could have f*ck things up that far ? I'm still surprised to see they're still part of the studio... Anyway, I'm sure MI : Fallout is gonna be great!

          Dude. I totally forgot about his mustache and thought something was wrong with his face, and I didn’t even connect the dots until I saw people complain about it online after. It was DEFINITELY, HORRENDOUSLY noticeable.

            can't relate.In my opinion its only really noticeable if you happened know exactly what Henry's upper lip should like.

            I knew about it, but I didn't expect to immediately see the lip during the intro. The moment I saw it, I was like "Whelp, I know what I'm gonna be doing during the film."

            And even my dad, who had no knowledge of the lip, had told me that something seemed off about Cavill's face.

            idk I might have noticed it a "little bit". I honestly don't remember now. All I know is that during my first watch it was not distracting for me personally. At least with the way I had seen people freaking out about it, I was expecting something much worse I guess, and personally I just didn't think it was that bad. Ya it looked slightly "off" but again with the way people were talking about it, I thought it was going to be MUCH more noticeable.

            can't really form a mental image of such details in my head unless I had JUST watched those movies before JL...which I did not

          it was definitely noticeable, Cavil looked like Jay Leno, and it happens in the opening scene. I was hoping DC at least would have polished the scenes for home release, but appears they left it looking weird. Paramount had delays of their own, they wouldn't have risk it and they might not have the time or staff to the the makeup/cgi for cavil.

      How's it Paramount's fault? Its not their problem that WB wanted late reshoots.

      No, WB fucked themselves.

      WB/DC did it to themselves. Paramount had to deal with Cruise broken ankle, they didn't have time to deal with fake mustaches and cgi. WB wanted the reshoots when they were out of time. Supes face could have worked if they had another 2 months to improve the CGI, these days CGI could have done the work, but there wasn't time.

    I think Henry Cavill would be a good choice for James Bond in my opinion but I think it's never going to happen.

    1. Rust Avatar

      I'm torn. I feel like Henry is such a teddy bear (in a good way) that he wouldn't be convincing enough playing a jerk to pull off the cold, violent side of Bond. He's so perfect for Superman that I find it hard to believe he actually exists. lol

      My other choice is Michael Fassbender, but I think he's too good at playing a jerk and doesn't have that sort of believable secret warmth and romance that Bond has.

      Just gonna trust them. Other than George Lazenby, I've loved every single actor they've chosen. :)

      I've been saying this for years... A Christopher Nolan directed trilogy with Henry Cavill as James Bond would be amazing! But I would settle for just one awesome film too.

    After watching the Frankenstein monster of a film which was JL, I can say with 100% certainty that Henry's mustache was the least of it's problem. And it only added a cherry to the disaster it became.

    I would have loved to see that scene of Simon and Tom, singing the classic Superman song for Cavill. Hopefully it comes in the extras of the homemade version of 'Mission: Impossible - Fallout' xD

    Henry Cavill IS Superman. What a nice man. He seems so down to Earth. I hope we see him again soon as Man of Steel 😀

    Great clip....but is the world just going to pretend MoS and BvS did not happen because that was not the Superman soundtrack in those movies which Cavill was part of. At this point in time, I would be surprised if Flashpoint just doesn't erase the complete DCEU timeline and starts a fresh reboot.

      Last sentence is what I am hoping for. Wash the Snyder taint away. Get a younger Batman, and a more comic accurate Flash and Aquaman. Better CGI for Cyborg, or replace him with a JL member that doesn't require as much CGI. Gal is fine. Eventually Cavill will need to be replaced, (already losing his hair,) so might as well start during Flashpoint.

      However, I think rebooting is pointless. I bet WB execs are disillusioned with the box office sales of JL (their own fault,) and DC films as a whole. I bet they just treat the DC films going forward like they do all their other films, hand them out to directors who come along and want to "give it a go." I don't have high hopes they will invest in a cohesive DC universe anymore. That is not to say they may not do a combo team thing, but I don't see any plan in place like Marvel has to connect their films.

        Yeah, agree. Pretty sad from a fan’s perspective what they’ve done. You really have to try to mess up a movie with such loved characters, and they did. Anyways, I also do not have high hopes anymore. Too much damage has been done, I am in the “ please do not suck” anticipation mode for the next movies.

    It's nice to see Superman being discussed in a positive way by the mainstream media, without any reference to all of the controversies surrounding the disappointing theatrical cut of Justice League, etc. Watching them talking (and if you didn't know anything about the DCEU), you might imagine that Henry Cavill's Superman films have all received glowing, five-star reviews from the critics.

    They were all talking about Superman: the pop culture phenomemon who is beloved by most people around the world. :)
