Over the weekend, we got our first inkling of which actors might be in contention to fill the three lead roles in James Gunn's Superman: Legacy, and Rachel Brosnahan was one of the names said to be in the running for Lois Lane.

Though Gunn declined to comment on who may or may not have auditioned, the trades believe that Brosnahan, Emma Mackey (Barbie), Phoebe Dynevor (Bridgerton), and Samara Weaving (Scream VI) all tested for Clark Kent's love interest in the upcoming reboot.

The Marvellous Mr. Maisel star was a guest on The View, and was asked about the Lois Lane reports. While she did stress that everything people read online should be "taken with a grain of salt," her slightly uncomfortable body language might indicate that she is indeed up for the role.

Brosnahan also said that it would be "extraordinary" to land the part, having grown up with the iconic DC Comics character.

Nicholas Hoult (Renfield), David Corenswet (Pearl), Jacob Elordi (Euphoria), and Andrew Richardson (Extrapolations) are said to be in contention to play Clark Kent/Superman.

Gunn reportedly turned in the first draft of his script before the writers' strike, but that doesn't mean the production won't be impacted going forward.

“Superman: Legacy is the true foundation of our creative vision for the DC Universe. Not only is Superman an iconic part of DC lore, he is also a favorite character for comic book readers, viewers of earlier movies, and fans around the world," said Gunn during the DCU slate announcement. "I can’t wait to introduce our version of Superman who audiences will be able to follow and get to know across films, movies, animation and gaming.”

Superman: Legacy is set to hit theaters in 2025.

@iceballsreborn - I thought that's typically how Lois Lane was visualised though - not a model, but attractive in a girl-next-door kinda way.

@iceballsreborn

Cavill and Adams never had good chemistry to begin with. There's a spark that they just didn't have.

Bitsy Tulloch îs klling it as Lois now. What theyre doing with her on the show is a nice change of pace for any super hero stuff.

@micvalpro - She is killing it, and it's a shame this will probably be her last year playing the character.

I have a Barbara Stanwyck biopic script on my table. Can anyone show it to her?

Not taking away from the actresses who are the frontrunners rn, but I'm still going with Jessica Henwick for Lois Lane. She's just got IT.

Why are we as fans more afraid of snipers than some of these actors? The fact that she said anything kinda says she ain't getting it loose lips sink ships.

I knew I recognized her from House of Cards before she went to work in Ms. Maisel.

Personally I think that Phoebe Dynevor would be good in the role. But I'm not that invested in this movie or the overall DCU Gunn has to pull off to make Zaslav earn the cash he didn't get from Black Adam, Don't Worry Darling and Shazam so whoever gets cast I'm ok with it.

She can definitely play a witty and confident Lois as displayed on Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Her scenes on that show with Luke Kirby are gold.

She is the BEST OPTION for sure

The way to find out for sure is to ask if she is related to James Gunn or was she friends with Gunn prior to the casting call.
