Rachel Brosnahan confesses that Superman and Lois are soulmates and that they both work hard, play hard, and love hard.
Lois Lane and Superman will always be connected in the DC Universe, just as MJ and Spider-Man are. In James Gunn’s upcoming Superman, the extremely talented Rachel Brosnahan portrays Lois Lane. In the recently released teaser trailer, we see that her and Superman have a relationship, and even catch a glimpse at a kiss while floating in the air (their equivalent of Spidey’s upsidedown kiss).
I was invited to a special event for the Superman teaser trailer, which included a Q&A session with James Gunn (writer/director), David Corenswet (Clark Kent / Superman), Rachel Brosnahan (Lois Lane), and Nicholas Hoult (Lex Luther).
Rachel Brosnahan admittedly cannot say much about Lois Lane’s relationship with Clark Kent/Superman, but she does confess that she thinks they are soulmates, and that they both have the same goals in mind.
Rachel Brosnahan Says Superman & Lois Are “Soulmates”
Rachel Brosnahan: They’re soulmates. They’re united in the fact that they are both in the relentless pursuit of truth and justice, but they approach the world in totally different ways.
She’s somebody, because of her profession but also because of who she is, she questions everything. She questions everyone. She’s trying to see around every corner and that’s the way that she faces the world.
And Superman is just radically present in every moment. He solves every issue that’s directly in front of him. I think the ways that they are opposite is something that is fun to watch. It’s fun to watch them bump up against each other sometimes…in more than one way. And then it’s fun to watch the way in which they really are united. That’s a little bit of a nothing burger of an answer but they both work hard and play hard and love hard.
See their relationship first hand when Superman hits theaters on July 11, 2025.
