Exploring the Exciting Possibility of Lois Lane Becoming Superwoman with Rachel Brosnahan and James Gunn

During a recent engaging interview, the celebrated director shared his insights on whether the beloved character Lois Lane might evolve into Superwoman in the forthcoming Superman sequel. This discussion sparked considerable interest among fans of the franchise.

In an interactive Q&A session hosted by Wired, James Gunn was joined by Rachel Brosnahan, David Corenswet, and Nicholas Hoult. During the event, a fan posed the intriguing question, “Does Lois Lane ever get powers?” Brosnahan responded enthusiastically, citing, “She becomes Superwoman for a day on her birthday in All-Star Superman.” She also highlighted that aside from All-Star Superman #3, published in 2006, Lois Lane has gained powers in both Action Comics #60 from 1943 and Superman #19 from 2024, showcasing the rich history of her character.

Following this, Brosnahan turned to Gunn, inquiring if he feels “inspired” by the comic book narratives and whether he would consider granting Lois Lane powers in the Superman sequel. Gunn affirmed his inspiration, stating, “I think about it every time I see her with powers; I’m like, ‘I know it…. I know it’s Rachel’s.’ She was incredibly thrilled to be cast as Lois Lane, and another part of her was like, ‘I want to be able to fly.’” This exchange highlights the passionate connection between actors and their roles.

Rachel Brosnahan then engaged the audience directly, urging them, “Tell James you want a sequel where Lois Lane flies.” In response, James Gunn humorously remarked that this request would be the primary feedback he would “hear on Threads” from fans eager for the character’s evolution.

As of now, there has been no formal announcement regarding the production of Superman 2. In a recent conversation with Entertainment Weekly, Gunn remarked, “What I’m working on is in some way…I mean, yes, yes, yes, yes. But is it a straight-up Superman sequel? I would not say necessarily.” This indicates that while there are exciting developments on the horizon, specifics about the project remain under wraps.
