Rachel Brosnahan, an American actress, attended the Critics Choice Television Awards where she spoke to Deadline about James Gunn’s upcoming adaptation of Superman.
Having joined the filmmaker’s DCU herself, she stated, “We’re living in a moment of so much turmoil, both here, abroad. There’s a lot of challenges for everybody in all different pockets of the worlds right now. And for a lot of the complaints that people have sometimes about superhero movies, at their core, they’re about the goodness of people and how good we can be to each other, how the pursuit of truth and justice really are the American way, and that courage and hope can carry us through.”
She added, “And so, I feel like this movie really encapsulates all of that. It’s a hopeful superhero movie, which I feel like is so true to the comics. So, I’m excited for audiences to see it and hopefully have some fun and enjoy the ride with us.”
She will be portraying the titular character’s love interest, Lois Lane and she admitted that she has big shoes to fill with major stars such as Margot Kidder, Teri Hatcher and Amy Adams having played the role before.
