While Superman: Legacy has finally tapped its new Clark Kent and Lois Lane, an old tweet from three years ago is getting major traction as the user predicted the casting for James Gunn's major DC Universe movie. After several months of looking for the big screen's next take on Superman and Lois, Warner Bros.

“Talk about waking up and choosing violence,” one person tweeted. TikTok star Matt Ramos mourned the work of those involved, writing “All of their hard work deserved to be seen by the world.
