Rachel Brosnahan is already gearing up for her upcoming role as Lois Lane in James Gunn’s Superman: Legacy.
“I’m currently observing my journalist friends,” Brosnahan shared with Entertainment Weekly. “I’m just trying to delve a little deeper into understanding how that mindset works.”
Last summer, it was announced that David Corenswet and Brosnahan would take on the roles of DC’s new Clark Kent and Lois Lane.
The first movie in James Gunn and Peter Safran’s new DC slate, titled Gods and Monsters, follows a younger Superman on a journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent. Lois Lane and Clark Kent famously collaborate as roving reporters at the fictional news outlet The Daily Planet.
Brosnahan recently offered a glimpse into her portrayal of Lois Lane, describing her as “feisty, marvelous, fiercely intelligent.” She also expressed her enjoyment of the collaboration with James Gunn thus far.
The current cast includes Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Isabel Merced as Hawkgirl, Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho, Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, and Sara Sampaio as Lex Luthor’s assistant Eve Teschmacher.
Brosnahan, renowned for her role as Midge Maisel in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, which earned multiple Golden Globe and Primetime Emmy Awards during its five-season run, has also played a supporting character in House of Cards, with her fate determined by her involvement with Doug Stamper (played by Michael Kelly).
Superman: Legacy is scheduled to hit theaters on July 11, 2025. To learn more, explore our list of upcoming DC movies and shows that you should be aware of.
