A new image of Henry Cavill as Superman sporting the controversial mustache surfaces from a sound mixer on the Joss Whedon version of Justice League.
As Henry Cavill was filming on Paramount’s Mission Impossible flick at the time, which required the mustache, Henry Cavill wasn’t allowed to shave off the mustache for the Justice League reshoots, so in post-production, Warner Bros. was forced to remove the mustache digitally through CGI.
The pic below reveals the sound mixer using the raw footage from the Justice League reshoots, prior to the Henry Cavill Superman mustache getting removed digitally.
Warner Bros., for whatever reason, didn’t do a very good job of removing the ‘stache, which received many complaints when the final version of Justice League was released theatrically.
Joss Whedon was responsible for the theatrical release of Justice League, though it did recently become known that WB execs were influenced by Marvel zombie fans to make it more goofy and funny, which backfired completely. Worth a note is that the beginning of the movie saw the homeless man with the sign “I tried,” which it is guessed is Whedon’s message to the fans (not his fault).

Regarding the Zack Snyder version of Justice League, which did have the Henry Cavill Superman scenes completed minus the mustache, there has been renewed interest in the “Release The Snyder Cut” version.
Speaking of renewed interest, Ryan Reynolds also recently poked fun at the Henry Cavill Superman mustache while promoting his brand of gin, which also saw Cavill get in on the fun.
“Does drinking Aviation Gin make you feel like a superhero?” Ryan Reynolds questioned as he wears a mustache. “I wouldn’t know.”
Cavill commented acknowledging the bad CGI for the removal of the mustache in Justice League: “Can’t CGI the pain away….make mine a double.”
