Caleb Williams, the quarterback for the USC Trojans and the current Heisman Trophy winner, recently got caught up in a social media scandal after misidentifying the movie to which a famous line was initially attributed or maybe expressing how he felt about said movie using a very famous quote. Renowned for his outstanding skills on the football field, the 20-year-old football star went to Twitter to discuss a comment that he thought came from the science fiction classic Dune 2, only to learn that it was actually from another famous series.

Williams expressed his excitement for the recently released Dune 2 movie in a tweet that has since been removed. But what drew in followers from all over the world was how he used a quote.

Caleb Williams confuses the Dark Knight and Dune quotes

Caleb Williams sent the following now-deleted tweet: “Dune 2!!! either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.” However, the statement comes from a line spoken by Aaron Eckhart’s character, Harvey Dent, in Christopher Nolan’s 2008 superhero movie The Dark Knight. This is perhaps one of the most famous and cited lines from Christopher Nolan’s critically acclaimed Batman trilogy.

Fans worldwide reacted to the mistake between the two legendary franchises with hilarious memes and comments. While some people mocked Williams’ error, others complimented his unintentional reference to the Batman trilogy. The movie captures the tragic fall of Harvey Dent, who, following the loss of his beloved Rachel, transforms from a brave district attorney into the evil Dual Face. Because of Williams’ error, there were unintentional similarities between the concepts of heroism and villainy in Dune 2 and The Dark Knight.

Williams’ mishap raised humor, but it also brought attention to the extent to which people eagerly awaited Dune 2. Fans of Herbert’s science fiction epic, Villeneuve’s 2021 adaptation, are getting a lot of anticipation about its sequel.
