Mind-Blowing Prediction: Superman & Lois Cast Chosen 3 Years Ago, Long Before James Gunn's Arrival

Superman: Legacy has finally found its new Clark Kent and Lois Lane with the casting of David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan. Interestingly, an old tweet from @KunaliB, dating back to December 1, 2020, accurately predicted their casting, albeit for Matt Reeves' The Batman universe rather than James Gunn's DC Universe project. The announcement of Corenswet and Brosnahan's involvement in Superman: Legacy has sparked excitement on social media.

While the user's statement wasn't directly related to The Batman franchise, there was some truth to it, as their casting ultimately became a part of a completely new universe. Twitter quickly showered praises on their prescient 2020 predictions, with numerous fans expressing their reactions to the tweet about Corenswet and Brosnahan appearing in Superman: Legacy. Take a look at a few excerpts below:

Everything We Know About James Gunn's New Superman & Lois Lane

Gunn has only revealed limited information regarding the portrayal of Lois and Clark in Superman: Legacy and the unique approach to depicting them in the larger DC Universe compared to previous live-action versions. In terms of Superman specifically, the film will present a youthful interpretation of the iconic Man of Steel, but it should be noted that this is not a complete reboot. Rather, Superman: Legacy aims to delve into the early stages of Clark's superhero journey and his role as the defender of Metropolis.

With Brosnahan being only three years older than Corenswet, this version of Lois may be closer in age to Superman. Previous depictions of Superman TV shows and movies have typically portrayed Lois as a few years older than Clark, such as in Smallville, Superman & Lois, and Man of Steel. However, in Superman: Legacy and future DC Universe projects, Gunn may want to explore both characters during their younger years simultaneously.

Since there are still other characters to cast, it may take some time for Gunn to reveal specific story details for Lois and Clark in Superman: Legacy. However, it is a significant progression for the Superman reboot to have the two leads confirmed, with filming reportedly beginning in January 2024. It is possible that more news about Superman: Legacy may be unveiled during DC Studios' Hall H presentation at San Diego Comic-Con this summer.
