Rachel Brosnahan discusses getting ready to play Superman Legacy’s Lois Lane. Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire and Godzilla x Kong swap release dates. Plus, a new version of The Blob could be on the way, and Sony teases Venom 3, Karate Kid, and more. To me, my spoilers!

David Goyer and Keith Levine of Phantom Four will produce alongside Judith Harris—the rights holder and widow of Jack Harris, who produced both the 1958 and 1988 versions.

Superman: Legacy
During a recent interview with ExtraTV at the Golden Globes, Rachel Brosnahan stated she hopes to put her “own stamp” on Lois Lane.
We’ve been having a lot of great conversations, David [Corenswet] and I, with James Gunn, the director. We’ve been talking a lot about where this project fits into the canon of the Supermans that we know. So hopefully, this’ll be…we’ll be putting our own stamp on things.
When asked if her Lois would wear eyeglasses, Brosnahan answered:
I don’t know, actually. Maybe. We haven’t gotten that far in the fittings yet.
