It seems Gunn agrees, with the director taking to Threads to celebrate the performances of the actors.

“One year ago today David and Rachel screen-tested for Clark and Lois. When they first read together it was like magic.

I can’t wait for you to see them on screen in just a little over a year. 💫”
