who is playing reporter Lois Lane in director James Gunn’s “Superman.”
Brosnahan, known best for her roles in shows like “House of Cards” and “Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” is starring as Lois Lane alongside David Corenswet, who leads the cast as our new Man of Steel. Embodying someone in a universe filled with superbeings, aliens, and all sorts of sci-fi elements can be difficult. Fortunately, Gunn was able to help Brosnahan settle into the character with a simple but effective note.
/Film’s Bill Bria recently spoke with Brosnahan ahead of the release of “Superman.” She explained that Gunn, known best for directing Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” trilogy, got them to think intensely about their characters, even though it’s all very incredible. Here’s what she had to say about it:
“[Gunn] just forced us to think a little bit more deeply about it. There are certain things that you enter these fantastical worlds and sometimes the impulse can just, rather than, ‘What if it were real?’ to be like, ‘Well, that’s true,’ and maybe not go a whole lot deeper than that.”
