As Rachel Brosnahan makes her DCU debut as Lois Lane in Superman, she’s prepared to stand by her franchise.
The 2x Golden Globe winner recently took aim at fellow actors who “complain about” their superhero movies after receiving negative reviews, ahead of the July 11 premiere of the James Gunn flick.
After Amanda Seyfried explained in their Interview Magazine conversation that “you can feel it when people are doing it with passion and grace and curiosity,” Brosnahan said, ‘I don’t know why people say, ‘Yes’ only to then turn around and complain about it.”
“Look, I don’t want to s— on other actors, but there was a minute where it was cool to not like superhero movies and to look back on projects like this and pooh-pooh them,” added Brosnahan. “Do it or don’t do it, and then stand by it.”
Although Brosnahan didn’t name names, her comments come after Dakota Johnson recently doubled down on her dissent from last year’s Madame Web, blaming the critical and commercial flop on “people who don’t have a creative bone in their body.”

“It wasn’t my fault. There’s this thing that happens now where a lot of creative decisions are made by committee,” she explained to the Los Angeles Times. “Or made by people who don’t have a creative bone in their body. And it’s really hard to make art that way. Or to make something entertaining that way.”
Johnson added, “And I think unfortunately with Madame Web, it started out as something and turned into something else. And I was just sort of along for the ride at that point. But that happens. Bigger-budget movies fail all the time.”
