While appearing on the red carpet for the SAG Awards, Rachel Brosnahan was asked about her preparation for playing Lois Lane in Superman: Legacy. While discussing her process, the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel actress reacted excitedly to Superman’s iconic costume.
“I’m talking to some journalists, I’m reading a lot of comics — so many I hadn’t read before. It’s been really fun to dig into this universe. We were just out in Atlanta, and we did our first table read. I got to see the suit, and I was blown away, so I hope that the fans are as well.”

Regarding visuals, the suit is arguably the most important part of the film. Not only does it need to stand out from others who have previously played Superman, Like Christopher Reeve, Henry Cavill, and Tom Welling, but it still needs to remain accurate to the original vision. Fortunately, it seems like Gunn and his team are nailing this.
Brosnahan also had positive things to say about the cast and script, saying in an interview with Variety, “It was amazing to hear the script out loud. As with all of these films, there are a lot of action sequences and things. So to hear the pacing of the film and to get to hear these characters occupied by the actors who play them is really fun. It’s also a great group. You can’t ask for more than that when doing something like this.”
