Earlier today, news broke that writer/director James Gunn had finally chosen his new Superman and Lois Lane after months of auditions and vetting. It’s the kind of casting decision that filmmakers wring their hands over and carefully consider, as it could determine the long-term future of an entire studio. And while both Rachel Brosnahan and David Corenswet have impressive credits to their name, they aren’t exactly A-list, household names just yet, all of which is to say these weren’t exactly predictable casting choices.
Unless of course you’re Twitter user Kunal B.
Shortly after the news broke, a tweet from this seemingly random and unconnected fan emerged showing that he correctly predicted the cast in December of 2020, nearly three years before it happened. In fact, the prediction came nearly two and a half years before Gunn announced he was even making a Superman movie and two years before Gunn had even been announced as the new head of DC Studios!
