Rachel Brosnahan has already started prepping for her upcoming role as Lois Lane in James Gunn's Superman: Legacy.

"I'm stalking my journalist friends right now," Brosnahan told Entertainment Weekly. "I'm just trying to understand a little bit more deeply kind of how that mindset works."

It was announced last summer that David Corenswet and Brosnahan would be DC's new Clark Kent and Lois Lane. The first movie in James Gunn and Peter Safran's new DC slate – titled Gods and Monsters – follows a younger Superman as he embarks on a journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent. Lois Lane and Clark Kent famously work together as roving reporters at fictional news outlet The Daily Planet.

Brosnahan recently teased her Lois Lane, describing her as "feisty, marvelous, fiercely intelligent." She also added that she's "really enjoyed the collaboration with James Gunn so far." 

The cast thus far includes Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Isabel Merced as Hawkgirl, Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific), Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho, Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, with Sara Sampaio as Lex Luthor's assistant Eve Teschmacher.
