Rachel Brosnahan is set to star as Lois Lane in James Gunn's 'Superman' and the excitement among fans is sky-high. The trailer has offered a glimpse of her performance in the upcoming superhero flick. As the world waits to see her portray the iconic journalist, Brosnahan has revealed the comedic way she found out she was Lois Lane in 'Superman'.

In an interview with Good Housekeeping magazine, she shared, "I was in a bathroom at Aritzia in SoHo. My phone rang, and it said 'James Gunn'. I don't know why he's listed, but he's listed. And I was praying that the toilet didn't flush behind me, but I didn't want to miss the call. Somewhere in my brain I felt like if I missed the call then I wouldn't get the job. So I picked up the phone and he just said, "How'd you like to be the next Lois Lane?' I was very excited and then immediately nervous. I had big shoes to fill."
