In the run-up to Superman: Legacy’s filming date in 2024, casting lists have been revealed with many exciting names up for the role of Lois Lane.
The casting candidates for Lois Lane in Superman: Legacy are equally - if not more - exciting than those for Clark Kent/Superman. Given that James Gunn recently confirmed a January 2024 production start date in an interview with WIRED, it was inevitable that the casting details for the film would soon come to light. While no names, or even shortlists, have been confirmed by James Gunn or DC Studios, some of the front-runners for the film's major roles have recently been announced.

While, naturally, the casting of Superman after the sore loss of Henry Cavill in the role is taking precedence, the candidates for Lois Lane remain just as important.
Rachel Brosnahan is best known for playing the titular character in the Amazon Prime series The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel for which she received significant critical acclaim. Mackey and Weaving are arguably the two most popular names of the Lois Lane candidates, the former for Netflix's Sex Education and the latter for appearances in the likes of Ready or Not, Bill & Ted Face the Music, and Scream VI.
Superman: Legacy Really Needs To Get Lois Lane Right After The DCEU Undoubtedly the core reason as to why Superman: Legacy needs to get Lois Lane right is the character's appearances in the DCEU. In films like Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and Justice League, Lois Lane was played by Amy Adams. While Adams is a fantastic actress and did great with what she was given, the character of Lois was sorely underutilized throughout the various films.
This was fixed somewhat in Zack Snyder's Justice League, which arguably had Lois' best role since Man of Steel due to her importance to Clark's character. However, the fact remains that a universe that centered so intrinsically on Superman should have had Lois Lane play a much more crucial role.
