It’s looking like the days of Superman saving Lois Lane are long behind us.
According to a recent interview, the film set to launch the rebooted DC movie universe — 2025’s “Superman: Legacy” — will feature the exact opposite.
Instead, Lois Lane will be saving Superman.
Speaking with Variety, actress Phoebe Dynevor shared her thoughts on auditioning to play the iconic Superman love interest.
Though Rachel Brosnahan, best known for playing the titular character in “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” eventually beat out Dynevor for the role, the latter still managed to make it to the final round of auditions.
During the process, she appears to have been given a sneak peek at Lane’s role in the upcoming DC flick.
“She saves Superman. She’s the brains; she’s actually the fearless one,” Dynevor said of the character.
Though it’s unclear exactly how Gunn’s Lois Lane character will pan out, fans seem none too pleased with Dynevor’s description.
“I’m just so tired of the strongest heroes in a universe needing their girlfriends to save them from the villain. Can we come up with anything new for the women to do in these movies,” one X user wrote.
