Lois Lane is marvelous
She is also asked to describe her Lois Lane, which she laughingly says is “marvelous.”
“I’ve really enjoyed the collaboration with James Gunn so far. Every single person involved in this production is such a perfect nerd for Superman. We all grew up watching the movies. Some of us grew up reading the comic,” she told ET. “I feel like it’s being made with so much love. This Superman will have a sense of humor. We’re excited to both put out own spin on things but also honor this material that we all love so much.”
Brosnahan is also asked three adjectives to describe her Lois Lane, and she answers, “Feisty. Dare I say marvelous [laughter], and fiercely intelligent.”

Anthony Carrigan preparing for Metamorpho
Regarding Metamorpho, Brosnahan reveals Lois Lane actually has a couple of scenes with Carrigan and the actor says he can relate to Metamorpho.
“With Metamorpho, this is a character who was almost cursed with his powers and thought that he was freakish in terms of what he looked like and that’s something I could totally relate to because of my alopecia,” he told Rolling Stone.
Speaking with THR he also says he is preparing for the role by reading the comic books.
“Yeah, just using my imagination,” Carrigan says. “The character has never been played before at least in real life so I am doing that thing where I like to draw inspiration from everywhere. I throw it all into a pot and see what happens.”

Also starring in the movie includes Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern Guy Gardner, and Edi Gathegi playing Mister Terrific.
