Henry Cavill shaves his mustache and makes 'Justice League' jokes about it (video)

March 21, 2018

Henry Cavill has finally shaven the mustache he had to grow for Mission: Impossible - Fallout. It caused quite the stir among fans, mostly because Cavill wasn't allowed to shave during the Justice League reshoots last summer. As a result, CGI was used and as we saw in the movie, the results were less than stellar.

Now Cavill has released a funny video about shaving his mustache. He even makes a Justice League joke about it: "It's hard for me to admit, but this is not CGI." And don't blink towards the end for another funny Justice League reference. Check out the video below.

BTW, he shaved it while Shazam is being filmed, could this hint to that rumoured cameo? ;p

On one hand, I think it’s hilarious that the cast can joke about it, but on the other hand it’s incredibly sad that the most memorable part of JL is Stachegate.

  If you look at Henry's work in The Tudors, or in The Man from Uncle, he's actually a pretty good actor. You shouldn't judge somebody based on a performance you don't like that had the script you probably didn't like aswell. He did very good with the role of Superman, IMHO, based on what he had to work with.

I really like Henry as Superman.
It's a shame his character was was so poorly written up until JL and then once they got the character right it was overshadowed by a CGI removed mustache. He deserves better, and so does the character.
If there's one DCEU movie I'd still like to see is MoS 2, if and only if, they get top notch writters and filmmakers for it.
1. BornAgainPCGamer
  March 21, 2018
  We need to put DCEU phase one behind us. Aquaman is on the way, Shazam is being made at the moment and Batman, Wonder Woman and The Flash all have films confirmed. Wb needs to announce a MoS to complete the picture in my opinion.

  "a shame his character was was so poorly written up until JL"
  Man of Steel and BvS have much better and powerful quotes than Josstice League.
  1. Hunter Zolomon
    March 21, 2018
    Good writing isn't just "quotes".
    1. Kouglof
      March 21, 2018
      => "No one stays good in this world" / "Save Martha" / "Superman was never real"
      Those aren't quotes? He was throwing quotes, so I respond. By the way, try to beat this writing:
      "You will give the people of Earth an ideal to strive towards. They will
      race behind you, they will stumble, they will fall. But in time, they
      will join you in the sun, Kal. In time, you will help them accomplish
      wonders."
      What about dialogues?
      Clark Kent at 13: Can't I just keep pretending I'm your son?
      Jonathan Kent: You are my son. But somewhere out there you have another father too, who gave you another name. And he sent you here for a reason, Clark. And even if it takes you the rest of your life you owe it to yourself to find out what that reason is.
      Jor-El: Goodbye, my son. Our hopes and dreams travel with you.
      Lara Lor-Van: He will be an outcast. They'll kill him.
      Jor-El: How? He'll be a god to them.
      And my personal favorite:
      Clark Kent: Is it true what Zod said about the codex?
      Jor-El: Strike that panel.
      [Clark strikes the panel and breaks open the wall of the ship]
      Jor-El: We wanted you to learn what it meant to be human first so that one day, when the time was right, you could be the bridge between two peoples.
      [Jor-El looks out toward earth]
      Jor-El: Look.
      [Clark looks out and sees Lois’s pod as it quickly descends to earth]
      Clark Kent: Lois.
      Jor-El: You can save her, Kal. You can save all of them.
      What did we get in Josstice League?
      1. kan
        March 21, 2018
        Superman from 1978 had better dialogue than Snyder and Goyer's shitty writing;
        "Jor-El: [bidding his son farewell, as Lara looks on] You will travel far, my little Kal-El. But we will never leave you... even in the face of our death. The richness of our lives shall be yours. All that I have, all that I've learned, everything I feel... all this, and more, I... I bequeath you, my son. You will carry me inside you, all the days of your life. You will make my strength your own, and see my life through your eyes, as your life will be seen through mine. The son becomes the father, and the father the son. This is all I... all I can send you, Kal-El."
        "Lex Luthor: Some people can read War and Peace and come away thinking it's a simple adventure story. Others can read the ingredients on a chewing gum wrapper and unlock the secrets of the universe."
        Mind you, Snyder's Lex gave us a Lex stuffing Jolly Ranchers into people's mouth.
      2. Kouglof
        March 21, 2018
        You didn't found any good dialogues from Josstice League, so now you are bringing dialogues from another Superman movie... well done.

        March 21, 2018
        No, I am bring it from the 70's LOL. You would think dialogue and writing would be far more advanced now. Not the case for Snyder and Goyer's shitty offerings.

        Superman was dead in 95% of the movie thanks to zack, maybe if supes was alive for the first jl movie ever in history, the dialogue couldve been better.
        That josstice league thing is played out, especially when most of the film was zacks doing, joss only had 25m for reshoots while trying to make an unwatchable movie watchable with not much time and budget.
      12. Kouglof
        March 21, 2018
        How can Superman be dead in 95% of the movie "thanks to Zack" if Zack has already shot Superman fighting the league scene, Superman talking to Lois about the ring in the field, Superman going to the kryptonian ship for his suit, Superman talking with Alfred, Superman doing the Justice League pose with others, Superman flying in Metropolis?
        You're mathematically wrong.
      13. myzterius
        March 21, 2018
        I can guarantee you that those scenes altogether are under 10 min, so lets say 90%... And those scenes aren't game changers either.

        March 21, 2018
        That was all MoS and i've never said MoS doesn't have good writing, i actually like MoS and its a film i will happily watch anytime. BvS is the one with bad writing.
        Anyway as for beating that writing well pretty much anything in the Nolan Trilogy beats it especially with anything Joker say's what has a ton of relevance even today. Then you have a fantastic exchange in "Why do we fall? So we can learn to pick ourselves back up" Still haven't giving up on me?" "Never". Then there's the ultimate line what sums up Ledger's Joker perfectly "Some men aren't looking for anything logical, they can't be brought, bullied or negotiated with, some just want to watch the world burn". Nothing in Snyder's films can match or beat the writing in those films.
      15. Kouglof
        March 21, 2018
        I agree, MoS has a much better writing with Goyer than BvS with his oscar winning Terrio who by the way is just only recognized with Argo.

      Why does Reverse_Flash bother to “write the same shit over and over again,” you could just as well ask. Kouglof was only responding in defense, yet you attack him, when it was actually Reverse_Flash who completely unnecessarily provoked this argument. You Snyder hate trolls need to grow the heck up.

      I don't hate Whedon, there's a huge difference. Neither hated him when WB chosed him to butcher JL (actually I was hopeful with the lies about him "finishing the remaining scenes"). I just blame him for taking poor decisions:
      - Messing with the Trinity as they were Avenger characters.
      - Reshoting useless scenes with extremely bad CGI
      - Hiring Elfman with his cheap sountrack

        If you refer to the critics or the audience, it depends where you live, in France, the critics were more severe with JL than BvS, the audience liked JL as much as BvS. And the critics or audience weren't mad about Sucker Punch (I saw you have deleted your previous message about your Sucker Punch RT score).

        People from U.S may not appreciate Zack Snyder movies, but they are
        not alone in this planet, when I read people's reaction from other
        countries (from Europe and Asia) they really like (and sometime praise) his movies (specially BvS and Sucker Punch... that you don't). Zack Snyder just born in the wrong continent lol

      I like them. I am listing three quotes (source IMDB) from Superman in MoS, BvS and JL:
      Man of Steel
      "No, but this General Zod... even if I surrender, there's no guarantee
      he'll keep his word. But if there's a chance I can save Earth by turning
      myself in, shouldn't I take it?"
      "I'm surrendering to mankind. There's a difference."
      "You're scared of me because you can't control me. You don't, and you never will. But that doesn't mean I'm your enemy."
      BvS
      "Next time they shine your light in the sky, don't go to it. The Bat is dead. Bury it. Consider this mercy."
      "I'll take you in without breaking you, which is more than you deserve."
      "My mother needs me." (This one's for you)
      JL:
      "I'm glad I'm alive to see this!"
      "Good... 'cause I really like being alive."
      "I take it back - I wanna die."
      => Should I laugh at that?
      By the way even if you consider Cavill didn't had great quotes in MoS or BvS, the quotes fit perfect with the scene, this one for example, "you think you can threaten my mother?" is not good or bad when you read it, but in this scene it's just awesome:

        March 21, 2018
        You mean an unwatchable cut from Whedon, because Zack Snyder cannot deliver such a messy shot. By the way, that's not a quote because your last message wasn't a quote, you give me a paint montage? I give you a real shot from Whedon, it's funnier this way.
      5. Reverse_Flash
        March 21, 2018
        Nothing beats the "Martha" line. Sorry.
        The unwatchable cut was Snyder's cut that WB rejected. If Zack had delivered something decent, there would have been no CGI mustache.
        Plus Zack has delivered some horrible shots and wtithout being short on time like Whedon was.

        They're up there. Doomsday had some of the worst CGI and desgin in recent CBM history.
        The difference is that unlike in BvS, the VFX team didn't have enough time in JL and again, that was in great part thanks to Snyder's unwatchable cut.

You consider him as a great director who didn't had enough time to let his VFX team to finish the product, that's alright... but a he wasn't smart enought with reshooting all those unnecessary scenes, just cut it man, wouldn't make any difference with all the scenes you have already cut.

        WB ordered the reshoots. Whedon was hired to try to fix a movie they thought was unwatchable.
        Joss did what he had to do and at the end delivered a better movie than BvS.

        March 21, 2018
        WB sucks ok, but Whedon reshot it wrong because some of his scenes are far from necessary, the product he delivered is an insult for the movie industry.
        This is from The Langoliers (1995), a movie with extremely bad CGI:

        ... and WatchMojo-kind channels will add (if it wasn't alredy done) Justice League in their top list with Josstice's scenes.

        "but Whedon reshot it wrong because some of his scenes are far from necessary"
        What do you know about filmmaking?
        How do you know WB didn't specifically ask for some scenes to be reshot?
        How do you know they were not necessary for a desired tone?
        Do you realize Snyder has shot plenty of unecessary scenes? Remember the pointless knightmare scene in BvS?
        Fact is, you don't know what WB wanted and you don't know the details about the reshoots. All you think you know, like most Snyder fanboys, is that Whedon ruined a movie, when he very well may have improved it (and according to some sources, he did).

        I may not be a filmmaker, but when I see this scene where Josstice added a one liner with Ben Affleck saying "I'll try to keep up" to Ezra, I am not dumb enough to say that he f*cked up:

        "I am not dumb enough to say that he f*cked up"
        No that's just your opinion. I can guarantee you that no line in JL was nearly as criticized as the "Martha" line. That's been one of the most criticized lines in recent CBM history, and that wasn't just a quick one liner, it was the line that stopped the fight between Batman and Superman.
        You might not like Whedon's style and that's fine, but one thing that's undeniable is that he has a far better track record as a filmmaker than Zack Snyder.
        And he made The Avengers which was one of the most acclaimed and the highest grossing CBM's ever.
        Tell me, what's the greatest CBM Snyder has directed?

        The same with Batman.
        His meme "You think you can Threaten my mother?" reminded me, why did he care so much about saving Martha when he stood there and let his dad die, daddy issues? A shit hurling rhesus monkey could write a better script.
      23. Schuyler Finley
        March 21, 2018
        Because his dad told him not to save him, and Superman was not gonna lose his mother as well?

        March 21, 2018
        You think a person with the abilities of Superman, knowing he can save his father in a matter of seconds, would stand idly by because his dad shook his head no? I have defied my father's orders, and yet dad forgave me. Shitty writing.

        But he didn’t have super speed at that time....I feel like you’ve been told this before, and it’s just that you ignore that information.
      26. kan
        March 21, 2018
        LOL...he was fully grown at that point, Cavill was playing the part. He had already saved a bus full of kids and knew he had super powers. Soon after he was rescuing people on flaming oil rigs. That is bullshit. I, someone without superpowers, would still defy my dad's orders and try and save him, and I bet most people would do the same. Not Snyder's Superman though.
      27. Schuyler Finley
        March 21, 2018
        No he wasn’t. He was supposed to be a teenager during that scene. And he didn’t have super speed when he was kid. Only super strength.
        And you’re acting like he didn’t want to save his dad. He wanted to. That was his major regret, but he chose to follow his dad’s wishes one final time.
      28. kan
        March 21, 2018
        How do you know what abilities he had at that time? And you are assuming his abilities come in consecutive waves. He had all his abilities, he even used some. It still wouldn't stop me, even without them, from saving someone, especially my dad.
        Weak-ass writing.

        Exactly, I don't think he is the only one. I guess with shitty writing and plot gaps, to like a Snyder/Goyer movie you have to kind of poxy your own plot.
      31. Schuyler Finley
        March 21, 2018
        Well if you had actually watched the movie, then you would know what powers he has at that age. By the tornado scene, he has only shown: super strength, heat vision, and x-ray vision. The flight scene is the first time in the film that he shows his super speed.
        And again, he was following his dad’s wishes. You keep acting as if he was okay with doing that.
      32. Sassybat
        March 21, 2018

        -There were 4 kryptonians. They didn't all need to help Zod. They all followed them because the movie was dumb.
        -Zod was wearing an armor
        -Martha could have been killed or taken hostage.
        -Last thing anyone rational would want to do is abandon their loved one when in danger
      42. Schuyler Finley
        March 21, 2018
        These guys are loyal as hell. They were basically like dogs. They saw their master in trouble, they immediately went to help him.
        Yeah that armor wasn’t doing crap since these guys can punch THROUGH STEEL.
        And Martha already told them that she didn’t know.
        And he wasn’t thinking rationally. He just saw his mom being threatened and attacked the guy who was threatening her, Zod.
      43. Reverse_Flash
        March 21, 2018
        "These guys are loyal as hell. They were basically like dogs. They saw their master in trouble, they immediately went to help him."
        You're making that up. Only 2 went to help him. The other 2 were on the other side of the street slowly walking towards Superman.
        Tell me, what prevented them to kill Martha or take her as hostage in that very same moment?
        :)
      44. Schuyler Finley
        March 21, 2018
        How am I making that when two went to help him, and the other two stayed and fought the guy who had hurt their master?
        Maybe that she didn’t know anything. They did look into Clark’s mind. So why waste their time with Martha when Zod is need of help?
      45. Reverse_Flash
        March 21, 2018
        Faora and Nam-Ek didn't assist Zod. They fought Superman after Zod was rescued.
        "So why waste their time with Martha"
        Because if they had Martha then Superman would surrender...? You have to be very dumb to think the family of your enemy isn't leverage.
      46. Schuyler Finley
        March 21, 2018
        I just said that two helped while the other two stayed and fought the guy who attacked their master.
        But he surrendered earlier.....and then he had escaped. And this time, he would know what to expect.
      47. Reverse_Flash
        March 21, 2018
        "the other two stayed and fought the guy who attacked their master."
        And those 2 could have been smarter and grabbed Martha. That's the point.
        "But he surrendered earlier.....and then he had escaped"
        And? He can't surrender again? This time he wouldn't escape because they had his mother.
      48. Schuyler Finley
        March 21, 2018
        She doesn’t know anything and they even looked into Clark’s mind. Clark didn’t know where it was. So why would they take a hostage when they know that Clark doesn’t know where the codex is?
      49. Reverse_Flash
        March 22, 2018
        It's not for what they know. It's because Superman was in their way and Martha was all they needed to stop him.
        Why fight Superman hand to hand when you can make him surrender in a second? Here's a better plan:
        1-Grab Martha, make Superman surrender so you can look for the codex without any trouble
        2-Once you find out the codex is in Superman's cells, kill him or just extract the codex.
        3-Terraform
        See how easy that was? Zod and the kryptonias were very dumb for an advanced alien military/civilization. Seriously, don't make excuses and fill gaps for dumb things in movies. Just admit they were flaws and that's it.
      50. Schuyler Finley
        March 22, 2018
        1. They consider themselves to be superior to everyone else, including Clark, so they don’t consider him to be a threat.
        2. They are trained fighters, unlike Clark. The only reason he was able to fight them was because of his powers, and even with them he was still outmatched.
        3. And most importantly, Zod would still have no leverage. He stated his intentions to Clark. He made it abundantly clear that humanity will have to die in order for New Krypton to be born. So what would make Clark think that Zod won’t kill Martha anyway? There would be no point in surrendering to Zod again, when he’s gonna kill Martha anyway. All that would do is make Superman look extremely stupid.
      51. Reverse_Flash
        March 22, 2018
        "so they don’t consider him to be a threat"
        When was that ever stated? Stop filling gaps.
        Superman punched Zod across a field and incapacitated him. It was clear that he would be a problem as he had an advantage over the rest: he adapted to earth's atmosphere. Instead of going back to the mother ship Zod should have been smart and go back to get Martha. If they were overconfident at this point, then again, they were dumb.
        Zod wanted to build krypton on earth and while it's clear that most humans would die, he never said he had the intention to kill every single human being. If he was smart he could have told Clark he would let Martha and Lois live.
        Plus, survival instinct doesn't work that way. Superman would surely want his mom to live for as long as possible. It's not like he would say "go ahead and kill her because I know you're probably going to kill her anyway". It doesn't work that way.
        After all he did do what Lex told him to do in BvS, despite knowing Lex could still kill Martha, didn't he?
        You're once again filling gaps with your imagination.
      52. Schuyler Finley
        March 22, 2018
        You do realize that the helmet situation was pure luck, right? Superman punched those Kryptonians multiple times in the face, but their masks never broke until they got hit with an explosion face first.
        You really think Zod was gonna let the humans live? That doesn’t fit his character. He believes in the “the weak die, the strong survive”. There’s no reason for him to let any humans live. Not to mention that there were probably high chances that humans weren’t gonna be able to adapt to the Kryptonian atmosphere.
        But Lex never made it known that he was gonna kill her even if Clark did his bidding. Zod clearly stated that everyone would die. Yeah Superman would want him mom to live, but your suggestion is a no-win situation.
        You’re trying to prove yourself right by ignoring established character in the film and making Clark look stupid.
      53. Reverse_Flash
        March 22, 2018
        Helmet or not, they were clearly struggling with him. That was more than enough reason for them to get Martha. Zod was simply not written as a smart character.
        "You really think Zod was gonna let the humans live? That doesn’t fit his character."
        Letting 2 humans live in exchange for achieving his goal? he would be dumb not to. But he didn't necessarily need to keep them alive, altough it would have been the smarter choice as Superman would have a reason not to turn against Zod. He just needed to tell Superman he would not kill her. Superman, would be left with no other option but to take that small chance of her living, otherwise, his mother would be doomed for sure.
        "Lex never made it known that he was gonna kill her"
        Duh, kidnappers don't do that. They kill after they get what they want (or don't). Zod could have decided what to do with her after terraforming.
        Regardless of what Superman would do, Zod was dumb not to try. What did he lose by kidnapping Martha? Nothing. It was a win-win situation.
      54. Schuyler Finley
        March 22, 2018
        You’re idea would only work if Zod didn’t reveal his intentions.
      55. Schuyler Finley
        March 21, 2018
        Didn’t he also punch Darkseid into some buildings in the cartoon, possibly killing a lot of people? Didn’t he also punch Shazam into some buildings as well, especially when there were civilians from their fight?

      63. Schuyler Finley
        March 21, 2018
        That despite SOME realism, not everything is realistic in the DCEU, especially when the writers are telling you this. And who’s to say that people had died when Superman and a Zod had crashed into the gas station? I’ve seen security cam videos of cars crashing into gas stations but no one got hurt.
        And Ninja’s whole issue was that Shazam is too cheesy to fit in the grim and grounded DCEU.
      64. myzterius
        March 21, 2018
        Umm somebody couldve been pumping gas? And the whole station blew up if i remembered correctly.
      65. Schuyler Finley
        March 21, 2018
        Only the pumps and an empty car. No one was pumping any gas at the time.
      66. myzterius
        March 21, 2018
        Yes but they burst in the building before crashing through gas pumps, which had a car right in front of the pump
      67. Schuyler Finley
        March 21, 2018
        But again, we don't see anyone getting bulldozed by them. Superman and Faora crash into an IHOP later on, but nobody gets hurt by them.
        Do I need to remind of the gas station security cams again? And it wasn't like nobody was in the stations. One guy nearly got hit when the car had crashed.
      68. myzterius
        March 21, 2018
        The point is that, the gas station couldve been crowded, but he rammed into it without thinking and couldve killed people. The convo was about supes causing some destruction though.
      69. Schuyler Finley
        March 21, 2018
        And this isn't anything new in Superman lore. He causes destruction in a lot of his fights. Sometimes he tries to minimize the damage. Other times, he punches people into buildings.
      70. myzterius
        March 21, 2018
        I think you guys missed the point of this debate. I dont care that supes destroyed the city, my point is that he did cause damage, which ninja and a few others denied. Also, superman does cause alot of damage in his fights, but he always makes sure that no one gets hit or hurt before throwing you into a gas station.
      71. Thanasis
        March 22, 2018

Bye bye Kingstache.
If only they didn't try to hide you in JL.
Seriously though, Cavill's got a good sense of humor. Good to see he can just laugh at himself even though it must have been embarrassing to see how creepy his face looked in JL

  Exactly my thought. Too bad Craig is back for Bond 25.

Hopefully, he is shaving his stache because he is going to appear as Supes at the end of the Shazam movie for a cameo. This has got to happen, so they can setup for the next movie, Shazam and Superman vs Black Adam. I can dream.
BTW, I bet Superman's ghost dad told him to remove the stache...

The fact that WB hasn’t announced MOS2 goes to show how little they have learned! So disappointing...

  Where is the red trunks?! This is not Superman!!! (troll)
  By the way, Henry Cavill nails it with his bulkier physic, his handsome face, and his highly textured Kryptonian costume made by Wilkinson.

    Nah. Cavil is nothing like Supes with his tortured mopey emo schitick and shiny basketball costume that lacks color.

        Yeah I know what he looks like.....
        You realize that was not a still from the movie right, but from the set before Hack Snyder dulled the color?

      I think Cavill can be Superman, he just had shitty writing and directing thus far. I don't know how much range he has as an actor, since all his roles seem to be the same generic action character, but he is not a bad actor by far. I think with the right direction and a good story, he could pull off a good Superman.

        I assume you like Christopher Reeve over Cavill? Reeve's Superman holds a special place in my heart, at least the first film, second was ...eeehh OK at best. It was the first time we got to see Superman flying around with awesome (for that time period) special effects that made you feel like you were flying. I didn't care for his dorky Clark Kent, that always bugged me. But what it did get correct was showing both Superman and his alter ego Clark Kent pretty evenhandedly.
        Snyder's Clark in BvS felt generic, like an afterthought. In the extended version, we got to see more of his investigative work, but it wasn't much and felt forced. We didn't really get to see the essence of Clark Kent, which is a very interesting persona to Superman.

        What i loved about Reeve's is he sold you on that people could believe Superman and Clark are two different people, his Clark may be a dork and buffoon but that was the point as no one could possibly believe that dork is really Superman.
      5. kan
        March 21, 2018
        Yes, totally agree. It wasn't just putting on a pair of glasses, it was a change in persona, and that film did it justice, dorkiness aside. LOL

        March 22, 2018
        he’s a terrible actor. He doesn’t have the necessary connection and he lacks the skill.
      7. Hunter Zolomon
        March 21, 2018
        and? Reeve's was perfect but other people can play Superman, Cavil could be awesome under a director who gets Superman.

  Thanks I saw that. I question it's validity but I'll pay more attention if they post Batman.

  Looks like a halloween costume... And a bad one at that.
  "Blue boots"? Just... why?
  1. NinjaGamer13
    March 21, 2018
    It would have looked better with CGI I guess.
    New52 had blue boots. I never liked it.

      March 21, 2018
      Actually the beginning of Rebirth, not New 52, had the blue boots. Now they have changed them to red again...and soon will bring back his red trunks. Full circle. LOL
      1. NinjaGamer13
        March 21, 2018
        Oh true.
        God, the red trunks are a mistake.
        Only that legend idiot defends them on this site lol.

        March 21, 2018
        There are a lot of people who defend them, all out of nostalgic reasons. I mean in practicality, it is wearing your underwear on the outside of your pants. Sigh.

That was fucking brilliant, they should seriously cast him as Bond though once Craig leaves as he has that perfect charm what Bond needs.

Interesting. I agree, Superman is great with short sides and back.
In Superman Returns, Brandon looked like a high school yearbook photo, not Superman.
