Henry Cavill reveals he would have done something different with his facial hair in a rather infamous mustache for his role in Christopher McQuarrie's action sequel, which was in the midst of principal photography when Justice League was getting revamped under the watch of Joss Whedon. Cavill, of course, was required to do additional filming as Superman, but was unable to shave the mustache due to his contract with Paramount.

Warner Bros. opted to Mission: Impossible team did everything they could to aid WB with Justice League, but people still find it difficult to believe a simple mustache could cause so much trouble for a tentpole movie. Looking back on the situation, Cavill seems to wish it all could have turned out another way.

In an interview with Square Mile, Cavill discussed his problematic facial hair, arguably expressing regret over his decision:

"Had I known the Justice League reshoots were coming I'd have probably made a different choice."

Based on Cavill's comments, it appears there was some miscommunication and WB was not upfront about when they needed the actor back on the Justice League set for reshoots. Since he hadn't heard anything (until much later, apparently), Cavill most likely figured his role was wrapped and he could concentrate fully on Fallout. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case, and Justice League suffered as a result. If the studio ed Cavill earlier in the process, they may have been able to avoid this mess. Given that Cavill had the leeway to make a "different choice" for his M:I character, it sounds as if the mustache was a stylistic decision, rather than a story requirement. But once the look was locked in, it had to stay.

Justice League ended its run as Fallout is projected to score big at the box office. As we near the end of this bizarre saga, it's nice to see moviegoers got one great film out of everything.
