It is alleged that DC Studios had to spend an extra $24 million in CGI for the removal ofHenry Cavill’sbeard and mustache! Talking to The Sun,The Witcheractor joked about the not-so-good CGI effect used.
“You are peeking behind the curtain. You wonder, ‘What are people saying about me? Oh, that’s nice. Oh, how lovely.”
Another comparison that people have been drawing is thatDwayne Johnsonwas paid around $22.5 million for his role as Black Adam inBlack Adam.If the rumors are true, the removal cost of Henry Cavill’s mustache was costlier than Dwayne Johnson’s salary forBlack Adam.
The topic, now known as the mustache controversy, became a hot topic among fans as they trolled the studios for their hilarious CGI. After the shake-up at DC Studios when James Gunn and Peter Safran took over as co-heads, Zack Snyder was left out of the picture. Not all hope is lost though, since Henry Cavill may indeed return to the role of Superman when Zack Snyder arrives at Netflix.
