Fans are finding Henry Cavill's moustache removal in Justice League hilarious

Poor Justice League. Not only might it lose as much as $100 million at the box office, now people are openly laughing at it.

The cause of the mirth? The removal of Henry Cavill’s moustache.

As you may recall, it emerged earlier this year that the British actor’s facial furniture caused some not inconsiderable headaches for the special effects crew on the DC movie.

It was all down to reshoots, which commenced when Joss Whedon took over the directing of the movie from Zack Snyder, and cost Warner Bros a reported $25 million.

By this time, however, Cavill was already sporting the moustache he was required to grow for his role in his next project, Mission: Impossible 6.

So it meant that when called back to the set of Justice League, certain scenes saw him undergo some digital depilation.

But, as if the movie needed further unwanted derision, the results are now being widely mocked online.

To be fair, it does look a bit weird.

Cavill remarked upon the tache controversy at the time.

Dear followers, it is time to finally set the record straight in this moustache fiasco. Pictured above, is not a set on MI6 but is in fact the latest in a series of weapons being designed by Warner Bros and Paramount Studios to combat the entity known as "Henry Cavill's Moustache". 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. #MI6 #JusticeLeague #HenryCavillsMoustache #HopeIsAllWeHaveLeft #MoustacheImpossible
