Henry Cavill and his moustache are under the spotlight these days because of the clash of schedules between Mission Impossible 6 and Justice League reshoots.
Cavill finally decided to address the bristling issue of his controversial 'stache himself.
Posting an image from the sets of Justice League reshoots on Instagram, Cavill wrote a tongue-in-cheek caption talking about his facial hair.
"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," wrote Cavill.
Cavill let his 'stache run wild when he wrapped up shooting for Warner Bros tentpole and started working on the sixth instalment of Mission Impossible.
But after Joss Whedon took over the charge when Zack Snyder stepped back citing family issues, he ordered a reshoot for a large portion of the superhero ensemble movie.
Because of that, Cavill had to work on two projects simultaneously. According to a report in Variety, Paramount, the studio behind MI6 wouldn't allow the Man of Steel star to shave his moustache until they wrapped up.
While the report also said that Warner Bros will have to spend an additional $25 million on reshoots, Cavill's thorny problem is not helping matters since it will now have to be digitally removed in post-production.
