Enthusiasts will no doubt have seen it several times before, but they could well be tempted once again. Justice League is scheduled on TF1 this Sunday, June 18, 2023, from 9 p.m. The blockbuster, released in 2017, displays an incredible cast, both in terms of characters and casting: Batman (Ben Affleck) and Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) decide to set up a new team of superheroes. Helped by Flash (Ezra Miller), Aquaman (Jason Momoa) and Cyborg (Ray Fisher), they will try to eradicate the apocalyptic threat represented by Steppenwolf.
Much to the delight of DCU fans, Superman also makes a notable appearance in the film, resurrected after the events of batman v Superman. Enough to allow Henry Cavill to put on his red cape to interpret the Kryptonian. However, we advise you to observe the face of the most famous superhero. A detail should quickly jump to the eyes of the most observant.
The Mustache of Discord
During the filming of the film for Warner at the time, the British actor did not display the face desired by the production. Because Henry Cavill had to keep a substantial mustache on his face. The reason: he was shooting the film in parallel mission impossible 6 by Christopher McQuarrie, for Paramount Studios.
Artistic requirement, administrative rigor or perhaps a desire to tease a competitor: Paramount purely and simply refused that Henry Cavill break his contract and shave his mustache for the purposes of filming Justice League. Warner then had no choice but to remove, in post-production (phase following filming), the embarrassing tuft of hair in question, which came to block the face of his superhero. A meticulous work that will have left some traces in the final editing, a strange feeling for moviegoers, but also a small slate. According to the Huffington Post, these digital retouchings would have cost 7000 dollars for each minute on the screen.
