New York, USA – In a remarkable twist of fate, an individual on Twitter foretold the future, predicting the cast of Superman: Legacy a staggering three years ago—long before James Gunn even entered the scene.
As anticipation swirled around the DC Universe’s forthcoming project, Superman: Legacy, all eyes were on the acclaimed filmmaker, James Gunn, as he meticulously assembled the cast for this highly-anticipated film.
Following Henry Cavill’s unexpected departure from the Superman franchise, the hunt for the new Man of Steel became a monumental task, as the chosen actor would undoubtedly assume the mantle of this iconic character for years to come.
Weeks of fervent speculation, inside information, and educated guesses transpired, until James Gunn finally unveiled the new Clark Kent and Lois Lane. David Corenswet emerged as the actor entrusted with donning the revered red cape, while Rachel Brosnahan was bestowed the honor of wielding the iconic reporter’s pen.
The revelation of this casting decision elicited a range of reactions from fans. Some conveyed their heartfelt congratulations to the actors for securing the pivotal roles in the new DC Universe, while others questioned James Gunn’s choice, claiming that he had replaced Henry Cavill with a younger, more svelte doppelgänger without any valid justification.
However, these reactions are not the most astonishing aspect of the Superman: Legacy cast announcement.
The true revelation lies in the fact that both these actors had been accurately predicted to embody these roles nearly three years prior, long before James Gunn even graced the halls of the DC main office.
On December 1, 2020, a Twitter user by the name of KunaliB astounded the virtual realm with their prophetic words: “A #Superman reboot starring David Corenswet as Superman, and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane. Let it be linked to Matt Reeves Batman franchise (not directly, just in the same universe)”

While Superman: Legacy may not be connected to Matt Reeves’ Batman universe as envisioned by KunaliB, the sheer accuracy of their prediction remains inexplicable.
DC enthusiasts have inundated the comment section beneath KunaliB’s original tweet, either accusing them of tampering with the space-time continuum or commending them for their uncanny ability to envision the exact casting choices that James Gunn himself would later make.

The situation would take an amusing turn if it were revealed that KunaliB had surreptitiously become a casting director for Superman: Legacy, surreally manifesting their long-standing dreams into reality.
However, at present, all that is known is that an ordinary DC fan gazed into the future three years ago, envisaging the new Man of Steel and Lois Lane with an accuracy that troubles even the most fervent conspiracy theorists.
