What's going on with Henry Cavill's beard in the 'Mission: Impossible – Fallout' trailer?
The trailer for Mission: Impossible – Fallout has been out for months, and somehow we all missed its most compelling component. We speak, of course, of Henry Cavill's reappearing beard.
Henry Cavill's beard is already a contentious pop culture topic, although that's more on whoever removed his facial hair in Justice League than him. This time, an optical illusion or possibly a mistake in post-production seems to be at work -- one that makes Henry Cavill generate a beard where, previously, there was none.
Please watch the GIF in the below tweet, which Michael Chu graciously shared on Monday. Warning: it's weird as hell!

Friends, oh my god. What? WHY DOES HE NOT HAVE A BEARD AND THEN JUST... HAVE ONE? Why? How? When? Where? Who?
Upon further viewings of the full trailer, the Great Beard Mystery is possibly just the result of a weird lighting moment. It's more fun to believe, though, that Cavill generated his beard through the sheer force of his air punches.
So we will believe that.
