Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek’s network of contributors

“Superman” remains one of the most highly anticipated movies of the Summer, set to bring the Man of Steel back to the big screen and mark the beginning of James Gunn’s new DC Universe.

The film stars David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor as well as many other beloved actors helping flesh out the world, including Nathan Filion, Anthony Carrigan, and Isabela Merced.

Naturally, DC Comics fans are chomping at the bit for more information about Supe’s new adventure, and one star is more than willing to give them a few spoilers.

During an appearance on “The Kelly Clarkson Show,” Brosnahan made it known that she felt comfortable speaking about spoilers because of Gunn, although she still didn’t want anyone to “Tom Holland” her.

Still, Brosnahan used this as an opportunity to speak more about Lois Lane and Clark Kent’s relationship and how it has already been established.

“So James didn’t want to do the same origin story that we’re so familiar with,” Brosnahan said. “Where Superman and Lois don’t know each other. Where she’s kind of investigating him.

“So we start with them already established in the world. Clark is a journalist at The Daily Planet. And, you know, there’s some love in the air. They’re at the point in their relationship where they’re trying to figure out if this was just a fling or if this is a forever thing.”

“And they’re really really different,” Brosnahan continued. “They have totally opposite worldviews. She’s somebody who prides herself on being ten steps ahead of everyone at any given moment. And he’s somebody who’s radically present and in the moment.

“And that can be, you know, they butt up against each other sometimes. They have really different views of how to solve problems. And so they’re working it out in real time when we meet them in this movie.”

This echoed what Brosnahan told Nick Romano of EW on June 10, noting that despite their differences, Superman and Lois Lane are perfect partners, besides being at odds with each other, especially in the interview scene that can be seen in the trailer.

“It’s a combination of them both clicking into, in some ways, their super alter egos, “but that’s also juxtaposed with their great love for each other,” Brosnahan said. “I don’t know if she would call it that quite yet, but they care about each other.

“When you start doing an interview, this is Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Lois Lane, and he’s Superman, who’s also the subject of this interview. They both feel very strongly about the stance that they’re taking in that scene.

“It’s one of the things that I love about their love story. While they have totally opposite worldviews, they complete each other, and they kind of need each other.”

“Superman” will hit theaters on July 11, 2025.
