Last week it was reported that DC was spending $25 million on reshoots for the upcoming superhero team-up Justice League. However, the most curious news wasn't the cost, it was that Superman actor Henry Cavill will be reshooting his scenes with a full mustache, which will then have to be digitally removed in post-production. Now more details of the process involved have emerged.
"If we were to remove a beard [or mustache], we would have to digitally re-build the actor's face behind the hair mass," he said. "We would need to build a 3D model of the face and then shade the surface of the skin to look realistic. We would then need to track the 3D model to the movement of his head and potentially re-animate his mouth. The amount of lip animation would depend on how much of the original beard occluded his lips. We would need to paint out the parts of the beard that extend beyond his shaven face."
Fleet went on to explain that it can take up to six weeks to edit a moustache out of a one=minute clip. It is unknown how much footage Cavill needs to reshoot, but it goes without saying that many fans will be watching his top lip carefully when the film arrives in November.
Cavill himself also commented on the issue this week, with a morbid post on Instagram. He stated: "There has been no discussion over whether to shave or not to shave for the JL reshoots, simply a relentless campaign to put an end to the seemingly inexorable conquest of this despotic 'stache. It is not a question of IF I should shave--it is a question of how can we possibly be victorious against such a beast without bringing our own doom raining down upon us."

There's nothing funnier than DCEU's fuckups.
Gavin Gonzalez
>their marketing tactic is pushing how much they're using CGI
Whoever is in charge of this department at Warner Bros needs to be fired.
Owen Murphy
Just let Superman have a fucking mustache, jesus fucking christ. Are DC just going full on Costanza and doing the opposite of what any sane company would?
Kevin Mitchell
Right? Dude just came back from the grave or whatever the fuck. Having a bit of facial hair would add a cool punished look to him.
Bentley Roberts
This. I'm cool with Superman with a mustache. It adds to the character. Fuck all this CGI bullshit.
Christian Hill
>all facial hair is now a reference to Metal Gear Solid ???
Jason Watson
the anti facial hair bias in modern society is puzzling considering how in vogue it was for most of human history
Cameron Garcia
Rocking beards is exclusively a white people thing.
Eli Cooper
Superman with facial hair will always be GOAT
Joseph Ortiz
we already had Superman with a beard.
it wasn't great
Aiden Peterson
I hope it was done poorly and it's really noticeable so we can make webms and point at it and laugh
Easton Nelson
>Implying mudslimes are white
David Lee
>that feel when no Super-stache versus Capbeard ends in sex
Zachary Barnes
It's going to happen. All DC movies have horrid CGI
Connor Nelson
>all that money blown on Green Lantern CGI
Jordan Martin
I always thought WB had to be so scared of Aquaman being seen as weak that rather than the character having a neat haircut and cleanshaven for several years now that they had to go running back to the 90s for his bearded look.
Also, no blonds allowed EVER, couldn't even dye that fish face Ezra miller for the role but I guess he'd look like a serial killer more than usual
Juan Ortiz
>Marvel isn't scared to give their most popular superhero a beard >DC is
Thomas Williams

Blonde hair has Nazi connotations, and if you haven't noticed, that's something we're trying to avoid lately.
Camden Nelson
giv gay pornstar superman bf
Angel Turner
What does Superman use to shave?
Jayden Watson
His fingernails
Daniel Thompson
Liefeld?
Isaiah Young
>Heard you are a Disney shill
Henry Powell
LOOK AT THE TOP OF HIS LIP
Henry Walker
They had a similar issue on TDKR
Mason Brooks
in some comics he uses heat vision to trim it, in others a piece of the spaceship that brought him to Earth
Connor Brown
the lack of bulge on his crotch is disturbing
Cooper Hall
I don't understand why doesn't he just shave?
Liam King
It's a very stupid reason. He's bound by contracts to keep it for MI6. The reason Tom Cruise keeps doing MI movies is because they've agreed not to use any CGI or anything to make them. So they can't CGI in a mustache for Cavill's role.
Cooper Peterson
You don't have to use CGI for a fake moustache though.
Josiah Roberts
this lol just use a fake moustache movies have been doing this for decades
Lucas Wright
They don't watch movies nor do they really "rock" beards.
Isaiah Lee
Is it just me, or is she dripping wet looking at his beard?
Luis Bailey
Problem is they already shot scenes with shaved Supes and for some reason adding a mustache is harder than removing it.
Henry Fisher
He's a little guy
Cooper Bailey
So they're filming the reshoots and MI6 at the same time? Coz growing a moustache takes weeks or less, esp as Cavill seems like a hairy dude except for the top of his head
Why isn't best to shave him and pay the penalties to Paramount again ???
Ethan Adams
t. loser
Wyatt Nelson
FAKE A K E

David Green
>Cavill seems like a hairy dude he is

No it's very much real, Cavill even posted about it on instagram
Evan Peterson
What the hell is he wearing?
Levi Harris
Fuck that dyke shit, son.
Asher Reyes
Doesn't Wonder Woman constantly try to get in-between Superman and Batman sausage fest?
Nathaniel Lopez
>more fake news You got BTFO yesterday shill, you should stop
Samuel Green
Regurgitating month old news again?
Kayden Martin
When hipsters started wearing neckbeards, it became a lot less cool. That's why only old guys or literal hipsters have Gandalf beards now. Most bros would prefer to not be associated with hipster trash.
I still rock a beard tho, fuck hipsters.
Eli Hall
So is The Batman part of fthe DCEU or what? You were shilling that shit a few days ago
Jackson King
no its very much fake news. Try again Disney fag. whats next? Ben isn't going to be batman?
Jason Rodriguez
Key word: Try.
Elijah Myers
>You got BTFO yesterday shill, you should stop Can you link whatever the fuck you're talking about?
Benjamin Powell
What what am i missing, why can't he shave in real life?
Christian Martinez
Tom Cruise got injured doing a stunt and production on MI6 is on hold until he heals. Plenty of time for Cavill to shave and grow back the beard.
Alexander Diaz
Shills said Reeves movie was going to be an elseworld or something so the DCEU was done for but then he confirmed it was in the cinematic universe and we all remembered that Wonder Woman is the most successful capemovie of the year
Henry Adams
He could but he barely had any reshoots so it wasn't worth it. Cyborg actor confirmed the reshoots were minimal
Nathaniel Gray
Plot twist: Cavill was the one who injured him so that he could shave himself.
Eli Hall
DON'T YOU FUCKTARDS BULLY HENRY NOW
LEAVE HIM ALONE
Jeremiah Gomez
His pecs are so round and meaty
Aaron Harris
Lol he probably only has it for that scene since no other shots from the trailers have shown him with a beard.
Cooper King
i want him to bully my prostate :/
Chase Kelly
This is just a publicity stunt to cross promote. Who the fuck even heard there was another Mission impossible Movie before this shit started happening?
Charles Richardson
You realize they've got to be pretty fucking popular for them to be up to a 6th one, right?
Don't confuse "I never heard of it" with "Nobody's ever heard of it."
Kevin Smith
Right, MI movies after the second one have been nothing but a vehicle for Tom Cruise to do a crazy stunt scene in each movie. Transformers, Resident Evil have all 5 Installments. People have heard of them sure but its not something that people actively talk about or go out of their way to find new information about. Same with the Mission Impossible movies. They're popular, they make money and then they are on their way for the next one.
Promoting the whole stache thing is nothing more than a way to promote both products since they have an actor in common that they can push to have people talk about both movies.
Evan Nguyen
And it works, doesn't it? Considering they make an enormous amount of money.
Sebastian Thomas
I wish Henry was British.
Liam Campbell
Outside of Superman and all of Gotham I don't give a fuck about DC. I don't give a fuck about Marvel outside of Daredevil and Punisher. Hopefully Marvel brings in Moon Knight. Transformers The Force Awakens fags will disagree.
Jeremiah Bell
If OP's pic is that of the 'stache I'm guessing Cavill must be one of those guys who takes forever to grow a mustache if you couldn't just shave it off for the reshoots and have it grow back in a day or two, what he has in the pic is my 5 o'clock shadow
Jaxon Lewis
yeah you'd think Cavill could have the 'stache back to fighting weight in a couple days
Noah Turner
He's doing a movie at the same time as far as I know, I don't think there's any time for him to grow a mustache even if he could in 2-3 days.
Aiden Lewis
>what he has in the pic is my 5 o'clock shadow No it isn't.
Michael Myers
Frankly Justice League shouldn't have even needed reshoots so it's Snyder's fault regardless.
Jonathan Parker
I'm not the guy but I photographed my beard growing after a shave for a week. Cavill looks like me after 3 days.
Jordan Walker
Related, what does the phrase "I'm a grower, not a shower" refer to?
Benjamin Clark
>Cavill looks like me after 3 days. Yea we get it, you can grow facial hair. Three days is not the same as eight hours
Cooper Howard
How does the man of steel shave? Surely his hair is stronger than razor blades
Joshua Walker
bros i'm looking to break a 3 week nofap by busting a nut to /our guy/ Cavill.
Can somebody please dump a few pics of him?
Michael Evans
Yeah I'm sure you look EXACTLY like Cavill lmao
Camden Garcia
...
Connor Rodriguez
It means people can not step into you and take a shower duh
John Baker
>he doesn't like MGS memes
Nolan Lopez
I'm fine with them but it just makes me a bit sad because so many people on Sup Forums are dedicated to shitposting about video games being "for children" and any time someone posts about video games I'm worried that one of them might show up.
Connor Gutierrez
there's nothing wrong with liking video games but you're a fucking autist
Kevin Stewart
I know that, I'm honestly amazed at myself for choosing to frequent Sup Forums of all places. Thank you though.
Xavier Young
someone ring that video where WW is hitting on batman and batman goes full autism
Jayden Peterson
but Superman has Lois Lane, what are you talking about?
Ayden Myers
...
Jaxson Cooper
o i am laffin
Luis Phillips
Okay, so follwoing death of superman, Superman wore a black solar suit, had a mullet, and 5 o clock shadow.
Why can't he keep his beard till the end, and THEN shave it. Is that a problem?
Leo Robinson
Perhaps because Snyder is an idiot who didn't think about that and this beard incident only happened after the reshoots.
Sebastian Cox
Even if it looks stupid, who fucking cares?
A cgi lip is even worse.
Jacob Campbell
God fucking damnit.
Henry Cavill would've made a decent Dr.Strange...
Ethan Cooper

Jason Cruz
Still don't understand why Evans wore a fucking bright red sweatshirt to an interview. He looks like a Sesame Street character.
Mason Butler
>Disney rips off DC 4 years later >pretends they came up with it through their shill army
Jayden Miller

Cooper Lee
I'll never understand having this fetish for a male.
