Joe Manganiello – who happens to be best friends with James Gunn – has fans buzzing again after he reposted a Deathstroke clip on X featuring the hashtag #SellWBtoNetflix, a rallying cry among fans who want Netflix to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery and revive the SnyderVerse.
The post came from the RawTalks X account and includes an AI-generated video of Manganiello as Deathstroke, along with a retweet from YouTuber Tyrone Magnus, who has over two million subscribers.

The Deathstroke Post Goes Viral
Manganiello’s repost quickly gained traction with Snyder fans, many viewing it as a nod of support for Zack Snyder’s DC work. The clip reimagines Manganiello’s Deathstroke in cinematic detail, reminding fans of what could have been before DC’s reboot.
Tyrone Magnus also shared the hype, writing that “Zack Snyder just released a new pic of Deathstroke,” linking back to his YouTube video about Snyder’s recent Instagram photo.
Snyder’s original post — a black-and-white shot of Manganiello taken with his Leica Monochrome camera — praised the actor as “a perfect Deathstroke.”
Follows Snyder’s “Henry Cavill Is Superman” Post
Manganiello’s retweet comes just days after Snyder shared a new photo of Henry Cavill as Superman, captioned “Henry Cavill is Superman.”
That post alone set DC fandom ablaze, leading to a wave of speculation that Snyder might return if Netflix buys Warner Bros. Discovery.
My own Facebook video covering Snyder’s Superman post has been watched nearly 200,000 times, showing just how much excitement remains around Snyder’s vision for DC.
The SnyderVerse Momentum Keeps Building
The fan movement has been picking up steam again — from Netflix France teasing Black Adam vs. Superman, to Snyder’s own nostalgic photography posts, and now Manganiello joining in on the #SellWBtoNetflix push.
For fans, these moments feel like signals. Snyder remains close with Netflix, and with the ongoing speculation around a possible Warner Bros. Discovery sale, many believe a SnyderVerse revival under Netflix isn’t far-fetched.
