With the surplus of comic book movies today, there was always bound to be some terrible films, and some actors—like Dakota Johnson—have been open about projects like Madame Web bombing not being her fault.
Rachel Brosnahan is about to make her superhero jump with James Gunn’s Superman soon, and though we haven’t met her Lois Lane yet, she has something to say to other actors who are quick to dismiss their comic book movie work.
Talking to Amanda Seyfried for Interview Magazine, Brosnahan explains:
“I don’t know why people say yes [to a project] only to then turn around and complain about it… Look, I don’t want to shit 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. Do it or don’t do it, and then stand by it.”
While Brosnahan didn’t mention anybody specific, a lot of fans immediately thought of a few people who had been trashing their previous projects. Besides Johnson, Chris Hemsworth had also opened up about not being happy with the last Thor film; and Ryan Reynolds has infamously shat on his Green Lantern run even long after he found success with Deadpool.
Though I appreciate anyone who owns up to mistakes, I do have to say that Brosnahan has it lucky so far not having been cast in a bad superhero film. I mean, she pretty much hit the jackpot moving directly to Superman from The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel; god forbid she was a secondary character in a mid Marvel movie somewhere in the 2010s.
For now, watch out for Brosnahan in Superman which comes to cinemas on July 11.
