In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, Amy Adams reflected on her experiences playing Lois Lane in films like ‘Man of Steel’ and ‘Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice.’ She also shared her thoughts on Rachel Brosnahan’s casting as the iconic journalist in James Gunn’s upcoming ‘Superman.’
When asked what advice she would give to Brosnahan, Adams said:
“Just have fun. Just have fun, and I’m sure she will. She’s wonderful, and I hope she gets to bring her sense of humor to it. She’s got such a great sensibility, such a good actress, but also such great natural comedic timing, and I hope we get to see some of that in it.”
Adams portrayed Lois Lane in ‘Man of Steel,’ ‘Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice,’ and ‘Justice League.’ Her character was a central figure in Zack Snyder’s vision for the DCEU, with Lois often depicted as the emotional anchor in Superman’s world.
During a ‘Superman’ trailer event, Brosnahan shared her enthusiasm for stepping into the role, emphasizing how the character has inspired her over the years.
“One of the things I love about this character is that almost more than any other character in these comics, and in the movies, she evolves to fit what it would mean to be an intrepid journalist of each generation or each decade that she’s presented in,” Brosnahan said. “So, I think our challenge… Today we’re living in a world where print journalism to some is perhaps an endangered art form and she’s somebody who has dedicated her entire life to it.”
She continued, “I think as far as what else is different, you’ll have to check out the movie to see, but I love that she’s somebody who doesn’t understand what the word ‘no’ means and it’s motivating for her. We definitely see that side of her in this film.”
Brosnahan is joined by David Corenswet (Superman/Clark Kent), Hoult (Lex Luthor), Wendell Pierce (Perry White), Pruitt Taylor Vince (Jonathan Kent), Neva Howell (Martha Kent), María Gabriela de Faría (Angela Spica/the Engineer), Isabela Merced (Hawkgirl), Nathan Fillion (Guy Gardner), and Edi Gathegi (Mister Terrific).
‘Superman’ is set to hit theaters on July 11th.
