Rachel Brosnahan Defends Actors Standing by Superhero Movies

Rachel Brosnahan, who stars as Lois Lane in James Gunn’s upcoming Superman film, criticized actors who complain about superhero movies after agreeing to participate in them, urging them to "do it or don’t do it, and then stand by it." In a conversation with Amanda Seyfried, Brosnahan highlighted how it was once considered fashionable to disparage superhero films but now believes that attitude should change, emphasizing that the new Superman film transcends the typical superhero genre. Seyfried agreed, stating the movie isn't just a superhero film and praised the character's representation as a kind hero trying to do his best. Brosnahan also expressed enthusiasm for returning in a potential Superman sequel, appreciating the collaborative experience on set with a large cast. The film, directed by DC Studios head James Gunn, features David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, with additional cast members bringing in new characters to the franchise. Brosnahan’s comments reflect a broader industry sentiment encouraging actors to embrace their roles and the collective effort behind superhero projects rather than publicly criticizing them post-release.
