PVR MOVIES FIRST PAGE 8 TRIVIA Justice League was initially planned as a 01 two-part tale, with the first part ending on a cliffhanger. It was only midway through production that the plan was changed, and the two movies are now separate entities with a broad, overlapping storyline. JK Simmons is playing Commisioner 02 Gordon, his second outing in the world of superheroes. The Academy Award winner is famous for his role as J. Jonah Jameson, the foul-mouthed Editor of the The Daily Bugle in Sam Raimi’s original Spider-Man Trilogy. Most films end up reshooting scenes after 03 filming wraps, and Justice League was no different. However, by the time reshoots came along, Henry Cavill (who plays Superman) was already filming his part in the next Mission: Impossible film, where his character sports a moustache. Since he couldn’t shave the moustache off and still maintain continuity, the makers had to digitally remove Cavill’s moustache from every shot in the reshoots. There are rumors doing the rounds that 04 we may see a cameo by not one but two different Green Lanters – which make sense, considering that the Justice League is incomplete without the Green Lanterns.
