Rachel Brosnahan, who plays Lois Lane in the upcoming Superman film, recently opened up about her experience on set. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel star shared that working on the superhero project was an absolute “blast.”
Brosnahan praised director James Gunn and producer Peter Safran, saying the atmosphere on set was joyful. She highlighted Gunn’s long-standing passion for Superman, describing it as a dream he’s been waiting to bring to life for years. Being part of someone else’s dream made the experience even more special for her.
When asked about the fan response to the Superman trailer, Brosnahan admitted she was overwhelmed—but in the best way possible. She found it surreal that so many people watched the trailer and reacted so enthusiastically.
Brosnahan’s Lois Lane will star opposite David Corenswet’s Clark Kent/Superman. Speaking about her co-star, she described Corenswet as a “Superman nerd.” With Gunn’s meticulous vision and deep love for the comics, that energy spread to the cast, making the entire process even more fun.
She also talked about preparing for the role of Lois Lane, a character with a rich history in the DC universe. To bring a modern touch to the iconic journalist, she consulted real-life reporters. This research helped shape a version of Lois that fits into today’s fast-paced and intense world of journalism.
With Superman set to hit theaters on July 11, Brosnahan’s take on Lois Lane is already generating excitement among fans.
