Don't Blame MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - FALLOUT For Henry Cavill's Weird Mouth In JUSTICE LEAGUE

There's been an awful lot of discussion about Henry Cavill's weird CGI mouth in Justice League but Mission: Impossible - Fallout director Christopher McQuarrie has now told his side of the story...

When Henry Cavill learned he would have to reshoot almost all of Superman's Justice League scenes at the behest of Warner Bros., he was in the middle of shooting Mission: Impossible - Fallout, a movie where he'll be seen rocking a pretty awesome moustache/beard combo. Paramount Pictures wasn't willing to let him shave that off, so CGI was used to remove it with some pretty horrendous results. 

Now, Fallout director Christopher McQuarrie has taken to social media to make it clear that he made every effort possible to accommodate Justice League and what happened was out of his hands.

This does make sense as it was ultimately Warner Bros.' fault for demanding these reshoots and there's no reason why McQuarrie should have devoted time to giving Cavill fake facial hair when Justice League probably could have been delayed to accommodate those changes and to ensure the DC Comics adaptation didn't wind up being such a mess. What are your thoughts on this? Sound off below.

JL should have just kept Supes with the porn stache. Would have been awesome.

@Menks123 - Totally agree. Nobody questions where the hell he got a black suit in the comics upon his resurrection. Why should a big bushy porn stache be any weirder?

@Menks123 - Or just put a fake beard around it.

@Nebula - Having long hair and a beard would've been awesome.

@Menks123 - It makes perfect sense that he would have a beard and mustache since your hair continues to grow for some time after you die. .....of course Superman was only dead for about 20 minutes but....

@Menks123 - then he would have had the stache in shots of him as superman before his death.

@411IDSigo - Once again that does not happen. You hair does not continue to grow after you die. The water in your body drys out and your skin recedes like a prune. This gives the appearance that there is hair growth.

Superman really should look exactly how he died as there is no degeneration in a kryptonian body under a yellow sun/earth as presented in the film.

Also in the comics there is no beard. His hair grew out because he was alive while he regenerated. Superman was basically in a coma barely clinging to life until he went into the regeneration matrix.

@Nebula - completely agree...full beard. Also never liked the scene digging him up and the whole resurrection. I would’ve much rather preferred somehow the black suit calling to him somehow.

The end of BvS gave a glimpse that Supes wasn’t 100% gone when the dirt lifted at the end.

@Trimount - Carla Gugino's robot form digging him up and taking him to the Fortress.

@storyteller - a) They do grow for a very very brief time, but He's Superman so why wouldn't his hair and nails continue to grow. In real life a body cannot stop a bullet and a person cannot fly...so once you ignore the laws of science and biology with Superman you can ignore it in every facet.

b) So you are saying a Kryptonian body does not degenerate under a yellow sun, yet Superman was buried and hidden from the sun. However, you are saying that a Kryptonian body does not degenerate...so why wouldn't it react differently to death and the hair and nails continue to grow. Agains, Once you change science and biology...you can change it everywhere.

c) In the comics there is no beard, but in the comics he had a mullet and they ignored that so.....
And as these movies have proven they are quite removed from the comic books.

You look like you want it both ways. Well....you ended up with a stupid mouthed Superman, and a horrible movie.

@storyteller - are you actually arguing the scientific realism of an alien in a fictional universe... cmon son lol

Bull. Shit. It’s far easier to add than remove facial hair in post or to just give him a fake moustache. Now they are by no means obligated to do that but don’t say you did everything you could because you’d didn’t. You actually didn’t do anything at all.
FASELI

@Ha1frican - They let him leave their production to go and fix someone else's problem. I dare say that was more than nothing.
Origame
Origame - 7/4/2018, 8:57 AM
@FASELI - and WB was offering to do the effects work themselves, cost and all. With the director now saying he was willing to. There's no reason to turn it down.

JFogg - 7/4/2018, 9:38 AM
@Ha1frican - you realize they didn’t need to do anything at all right?
Chewtoy
Chewtoy - 7/4/2018, 10:29 AM
@Origame - Um... having seen the effects work that WB did for JL, I’d say the MI team were absolutely right to turn down the offer.
Origame

@Chewtoy - anyone would have done that bad. That's why they add facial hair as a practice. Not remove it.

@JFogg -

True, but I think when asked about the situation saying "we did everything we could" seems disingenuous.

They didn't have to do anything, but they definitely didn't do everything and if the issue of negatively affecting their film was facial hair then yeah, it's because they wouldn't let him shave it.

That was the main issue and point of the question and the thing they refused to allow.

@FASELI - except he didnt really he was going in between it’s not like they stopped production on MI at all if anything Cavill is the one that sacrificed
Ha1frican
Ha1frican - 7/5/2018, 7:05 AM
@JFogg - oh I 100% understand that and think that’s fine, what I don’t like is that they are making it seem like they didn’t something or tried to do something when they definitely didn’t. And they again shouldn’t have to and shouldn’t have said anything at all bc it’s for one not true and for another completely unecessafy to even bring up it just makes them look bad for no reason

Instead of removing, they should've added more beard. And maybe even a mullet
