Rachel Brosnahan Teases "Feisty" Lois Lane in "Superman: Legacy"
Posted on January 15, 2024 by Neil Cole
At last night's star-studded Critics Choice Awards, actress Rachel Brosnahan spoke with the Associated Press about her role as Lois Lane in "Superman: Legacy" and what it's been like working on the production.
"We have big shoes to fill. But we're excited to try to fill them," stated Brosnahan. "I think the best part about working on this has been that, from top to bottom, from James [Gunn] to Peter Safran, everyone at DC, and David [Corenswet]...we're all just nerds for this stuff."
"There's so much love and care that's being taken to make this film both a film that honours the source material and also justifies making another one."
Sharing similar sentiments while speaking with Entertainment Tonight, Brosnahan also spoke about the amount of thought and care that is being put into the latest iteration of Superman on the silver screen.
"I've really enjoyed the collaboration with James Gunn so far. Every single person involved with this production is such a perfect nerd for Superman," said the actress. "We all grew up watching the movies and some of us grew up reading the comics."
"I feel like it's being made with so much love. This Superman will have a sense of humour... we're excited to both put our own spin on things but also honour the material we love so much."
When asked by Entertainment Tonight to describe her take on Lois Lane in three words, Brosnahan replied, "Feisty. Dare I say, marvellous? And fiercely intelligent."
"Superman: Legacy" tells the story of Superman's journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent of Smallville, Kansas. He is the embodiment of truth, justice and the American way, guided by human kindness in a world that sees kindness as old-fashioned.
In addition to Brosnahan's role as Lois Lane, the film stars David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner/Green Lantern, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific, María Gabriela De Faría as The Engineer/Angela Spica, Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, and model Sara Sampaio as Eve Teschmacher.
"Superman: Legacy" is currently scheduled to premiere in theaters on July 11th, 2025.
