The Avengers: How Marvel Covered Up Cap's Beard BEFORE DC's Superman Moustache Fail

Hey guys, remember when Marvel and Joss Whedon needed to do a last minute reshoot but they found out their lead actor had facial hair for another role so they just CGIed his face poorly because the effects team weren't given enough time and then everyone laughed so much at the cinema that it became an instant meme? No? Well, you wouldn't, because that was Justice League, wasn't it?

In a weird twist of fate, that film was actually the SECOND time Whedon had had to hide a superhero's facial hair, after the shawarma scene reshoot for The Avengers. Chris Evans had come back with a beard for Snowpiercer and it presented with a problem since Cap wouldn't get beard hot until Avengers: Infinity War.

I must say that looks kinda freaky. Hehe.

But they did a great job hiding it. Pretty clever. And you also couldn’t tell that Hemsworth had lost a great deal of weight. That’s Marvel for ya!
