Rachel Brosnahan, the actress portraying Lois Lane in the upcoming Superman film directed by James Gunn, has expressed her desire for her character to gain superpowers in future storylines. In a recent interview, Brosnahan revealed her enthusiasm for the possibility of Lois Lane becoming more than just a reporter at the Daily Planet and taking to the skies alongside Clark Kent.
During a Wired Q&A session, Brosnahan and her co-star David Corenswet discussed various elements of the Superman universe, including the potential interactions their characters could have with other iconic figures. Corenswet indicated he would like to see his character encounter Dick Grayson, also known as Nightwing, to infuse the narrative with “uncle energy.” Brosnahan chimed in with her own aspirations, specifically mentioning her interest in crossing paths with Wonder Woman.
The conversation took an intriguing turn when the topic of Lois Lane’s powers arose. Brosnahan reflected on the times Lois has had super abilities in the comics, noting, “I think about it every time I see her with powers, I’m like, ‘I know it. I know it’s Rachel’s.’” This idea resonates particularly well with fans, as Lois has taken on the mantle of Superwoman in various storylines, including recent comic adaptations.
In the film All-Star Superman, which has inspired the new Superman narrative, Lois Lane shares the skies with Clark Kent, a storyline Brosnahan hopes to see translated to the big screen. Her enthusiasm was palpable when she made a playful plea to the audience, urging them to “Tell James you want a sequel where Lois Lane flies.”
As the anticipation for the new Superman film builds, Brosnahan’s suggestions open up exciting possibilities for character development. The prospect of Lois Lane gaining superpowers would not only enhance her character but also add a new dynamic to her relationship with Superman.
For now, fans will have to wait for the film’s release to discover if Lois Lane will indeed be powered up. In the meantime, those eager for more adventures featuring Clark Kent and his beloved partner can explore a curated list of the ten best Superman comics, ensuring their interest in the superhero saga remains strong.
