Fans can’t resist cracking mom jokes.

Another piece of James Gunn’s Superman puzzle just dropped: Angela Sarafyan, best known for her role as Clementine in Westworld (and yes, she did appear in Twilight: Breaking Dawn – Part 2), has officially been cast as Lara, Superman’s Kryptonian mother.

Her name joins an already high-profile cast — Bradley Cooper was announced months ago as Jor-El, Superman’s father — and fans are beginning to picture what this interstellar family dynamic might look like.

Over on Reddit, reactions were immediate and mixed — but mostly curious:

"She f**kin ruled in Westworld, so I’m totally on board."

One user joked about her youthful appearance:

"So Superman had a teen mom."

But another quickly chimed in with a reality check:

"Well no, this woman is 40."

So far, the casting seems to be landing well — especially with fans who know Sarafyan’s range. And with Gunn’s track record, it's likely there’s a lot more beneath the surface than just a pretty Kryptonian face.
