February 7, 2018: "Deadpool 2" Trailer Makes Fun of "Justice League"

A new trailer for 20th Century Fox's "Deadpool 2" takes aim at Warner Bros' "Justice League" movie, specifically the visual effects problems associated with Henry Cavill's face.

Deadpool interrupts the opening monologue by Cable (James Brolin) by noticing that the visual effects on Cable's metal arm are incomplete. He yells, "Dale, Dale, why are the visual effects not done? It's a metal arm! It's not like we're trying to remove a mustache!"

Warning: Course Language


If you've been hiding under a rock somewhere over the past six months, the story goes... Henry Cavill was in the midst of filming "Mission Impossible: Fallout" for Paramount Studios, in which his character sports a fairly prominent mustache. The problem was, Henry was also being asked to film reshoots as Superman for the "Justice League" movie for Warner Bros. Cavill was expected to be able to finish shooting the sixth "Mission Impossible" film before needing to don Superman's spandex again. That didn't happen, which required Henry to jump back and forth from each production. Paramount would not allow Cavill to shave the facial hair while production was taking place, which meant the mustache he grew for his character in the "Mission Impossible" sequel had to be digitally removed in post-production... and it didn't look good.

"Deadpool 2" is scheduled to be released in theaters on May 18, 2018.
