‘Superman’ Star Rachel Brosnahan Reveals Big Lois Lane Inspiration

by

Brosnahan is set to portray the role of a renowned reporter and Superman’s love interest. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter regarding her latest movie, “The Amateur”, she discussed whether she felt daunted by embodying such a legendary figure.

A bit daunting, but perhaps ‘intimidating’ isn’t the best term. Instead, I find myself invigorated by the multitude of variations of this character that have surfaced throughout different adaptations. It seems fitting to the source material (the comics) to see various portrayals on screen. Among all characters in comic history, Lois Lane may have undergone more transformations than any other: her appearance, her priorities shifting from one version to another, and even her backstory varies significantly. Sometimes she transforms into Superwoman, and the Red Tornado is yet another character with whom she shares a connection.

In an intriguing disclosure, the actor from “House of Cards” shared which portrayal of Lois resonated most deeply with her character interpretation. Over the years, this character has been interpreted by various actresses such as Margot Kidder, Amy Adams, Kate Bosworth, and many more. However, Brosnahan has chosen her preferred depiction:

As a devoted film enthusiast, I’ve always held a special place in my heart for Margot Kidder as Lois Lane, particularly in the iconic Christopher Reeve-Margot Kidder Superman films that were a significant part of my childhood. However, I must admit my admiration for Amy Adams has grown immensely since she took on the role. I’ve had the privilege of crossing paths with her on a few occasions, and it’s humbling to stand in the footsteps of these remarkable actresses who have left an indelible mark on the Superman franchise. Here’s hoping that we can continue to honor their legacy and make fans proud with our work.

What Do We Know About the ‘Superman’ Reboot?

James Gunn recently unveiled a sneak preview of the upcoming “Superman” production. Opinions were divided, as some found the footage problematic due to the depiction of the typically powerful superhero appearing weaker than usual (much like in the initial trailer). The swift response on social media was critical, although it’s uncertain if this will impact the film’s final product. However, it is evident that not everyone is supportive of Gunn’s reimagining of the character.

Is it due to Superman being more susceptible in this storyline, or perhaps Krypto stealing the spotlight, that pleasing everyone seems impossible? This becomes even more challenging when considering the devoted fanbase who are still fixated on Zack Snyder, the Snyder Cut, and a Superman from an alternate universe. For now, it’s advisable to exercise patience and maintain optimism that Gunn is on the correct path to produce a commendable portrayal of Superman.

In this movie named “Superman,” actors like Corenswet, Brosnahan, Nicholas Hoult, Isabela Merced, Nathan Fillion, Edi Gathegi, and Pruitt Taylor Vince are joining forces. The director of the film, James Gunn, is also responsible for its script and is set to relaunch the “Superman” movie series for Warner Bros. Pictures.
