Henry Cavill’s ongoing mustache drama stands out as the solely good factor to come back out of Justice League.
Nicely, Ezra Miller’s Flash is fairly okay, too.
We thought Cavill had moved on from his cookie duster days, publicly bidding farewell to the fuzzy worm on his higher lip on Instagram, however the lip doily saga continues. Our collective mourning over Cavill’s objectively enticing mouth forehead isn’t over. Cavill spoke to Empire Journal to speak about Mission Unattainable 6, the very film that Cavill grew the mustache for within the first place, including extra commentary on the non-issue that turned a trending story.
“Once we determined to go for the mustache, I definitely wasn’t anticipating all of the occasions to unfold as they had been going to unfold,” Cavill advised Empire. “I wasn’t anticipating Justice League reshoots to be as in depth as they had been. As you will notice when [Mission] comes out, to have a faux mustache on wouldn’t have been a risk. You’ll assume, ‘Okay, yeah, a faux mustache would maybe have been blown off on this state of affairs.’ Sadly, it led to a lot dismay when Justice League got here out, however that’s the character of these items.
“You may’t win each time.”
Cavill’s lip rug wasn’t the one Justice League story the actor mentioned with Empire. The “ridiculous” press tour that Cavill took half in — the place he wanted to maintain up the facade that Superman was lifeless — additionally got here up in dialog.
“Nicely, that entire idea was faintly ridiculous and I actually imagine everybody seen it as such,” Cavill mentioned. “After all, if I’m on the press tour I’m within the film. Clearly, you knew, and that was a unique little faucet dance we danced collectively. However for the viewers, I needed to go away some thriller. I believe it’s essential to have some thriller in films as of late.”
We all know now, nevertheless, that Superman is alive and properly. We additionally know, sadly, that we’ll in all probability by no means get a mustached Superman within the DC Cinematic Universe. That’s unhappy, however we’ll attempt to hold a stiff higher lip.
