The DCU’s Lois Lane actor Rachel Brosnahan has teased her take on the iconic character ahead of filming for 2025’s Superman: Legacy.

"Feisty, marvelous, fiercely intelligent," Brosnahan said when asked to give three adjectives tp describe her Lois Lane during a red carpet interview with ET.

The actor, fresh off a five-season run as the lead in Amazon’s The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, pointed to the fact that those involved have a deep-rooted love for the Man of Steel and a long history with the character.

"Everybody involved in this production is such a perfect nerd for Superman," Brosnahan said.

She continued, "We all grew up watching the movies, some of us grew up watching the comics. I feel like it’s being made with so much love and this Superman will have a sense of humor. We’re excited to both put our own spin on things, but also honor this material that we all love so much."

Superman: Legacy is all set to be the first live-action project in the new DC universe. DCU Chapter One will kick off with Creature Commandos – Gunn recently confirmed The Witcher’s Anya Chalotra would be joining the cast – and then Superman: Legacy is set to soar on July 11, 2025.
