Rachel Brosnahan Eyes Superpowered Lois Lane Future

Rachel Brosnahan, who stars as Lois Lane in James Gunn’s upcoming 'Superman' film, has expressed interest in her character gaining superpowers in potential future installments, signaling a desire to expand Lois’s role beyond that of a traditional damsel in distress. Her portrayal pays homage to Lois Lane's comic book roots, with Easter eggs such as a photo of Joanne Siegel—the real-life inspiration for Lois—and cameos by Jerry Siegel’s grandsons. Previous Lois Lane actress Elizabeth Tulloch praised Brosnahan’s integrity and grit in the role, symbolically passing the torch. Director James Gunn encouraged the cast to emphasize depth and realism, despite the film’s fantastical elements. Brosnahan has also embraced 'method dressing,' adopting Lois-inspired fashion on the press tour. The film seeks to honor the Superman legacy and the creators behind it.
