Rachel Brosnahan, the actress newly cast as Lois Lane, recently took a subtle jab at Dakota Johnson, who portrayed Cassie in the less-than-stellar film ‘Madame Web.’ During her promotional interviews for the upcoming ‘Superman’ movie, Brosnahan seemed to respond to Johnson’s criticisms of the film and its production process, which Johnson had described as problematic due to creative decisions being made by those lacking artistic insight.
Johnson expressed her discontent in a Los Angeles Times interview, stating, “There’s this thing that happens now where a lot of creative decisions are made by committee. It’s really hard to make art that way… Bigger-budget movies fail all the time.” She reflected on the experience, noting that despite the film’s fallout, she doesn’t have regrets about her involvement.
In a separate conversation with Amanda Seyfried for Interview Magazine, Brosnahan stated, “I don’t know why people say yes [to a project] only to then turn around and complain about it… Do it or don’t do it, and then stand by it.” While she did not mention Johnson by name, her comments seemed aimed at those who distance themselves from their past projects after negative reception.
Brosnahan, who is excited about her role as Lois Lane, also shared her thoughts on adapting to the challenges of working in the superhero genre, expressing her initial struggles with the unique demands of acting against green screens and imaginary elements. “I’ve never felt like a worse actor in my life!” she admitted. However, she also highlighted the learning experience that comes with such projects, hinting at her passion for taking on the role.
As Brosnahan prepares for her role in ‘Superman’, she has expressed a strong connection to Lois Lane and an eagerness to embrace the challenges ahead. Both actresses illustrate the complexities of navigating blockbuster films and the expectations associated with them.
