While the cast reassembled to craft the new version of Justice League, Cavill was still contracted for his role in Mission: Impossible – Fallout.
This new image comes to us from Reddit, and shows what Henry Cavill actually looked like when filming Justice League’s reshoots.
Cavill donned Superman’s costume and cape when Joss Whedon took over production on the movie, after Zack Snyder’s departed the blockbuster due to a personal tragedy.
He wasn’t permitted to shave the facial hair he’d grown to play August Walker, which is why those visual effects were needed in order to salvage the footage and use it to craft Whedon’s version of the story.
