Rachel Brosnahan has responded to the swirling rumors that she is being considered as one of the top choices to portray Lois Lane in the upcoming DC Universe reboot Superman: Legacy. The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel star took the opportunity to set the record straight and advise fans to take internet rumors with a grain of salt.
During an appearance on on The View, Rachel Brosnahan addressed the speculation surrounding her potential involvement in Superman: Legacy, stating, “I mean, look, take everything you read on the internet with a grain of salt is my first piece of advice. Look, it would be extraordinary [to play Lois Lane]. I grew up watching Lois Lane.”
Rumors are also swirling about the potential actor to step into the shoes of the Man of Steel himself. David Corenswet, Nicholas Hoult, Tom Brittney and Andrew Richardson are among the actors vying for the iconic role of Superman. DC Studios is said to have a particular interest in Corenswet, known for his work on The Politician and Hollywood.
Superman: Legacy will not only focus on the central characters but also introduce new faces to James Gunn and Peter Safran’s DC Universe. According to reports, Legacy will feature numerous DC Comics heroes who are already established when Legacy begins.
Superman’s DC Universe Future
Superman: Legacy is a much-anticipated project, given that Clark Kent has been an integral part of the DC Universe for over 80 years, with various iterations and adaptations across different media. The movie promises to explore the character’s origins and his struggles to balance his dual identities as Clark and Superman while fighting off villains and saving the world. The choice to focus on the early years of his career is a bold move that could potentially breathe new life into the character and appeal to a younger generation of fans.
James Gunn and Peter Safran told journalists that their vision for the DC Universe includes locked scripts, wiggle room and a unified storyline across film, television, animation and video game projects. The two explained that the DC Universe could bring back elements from previous DC regimes, meaning that their eight-to-year plan is not a full reboot.
