During a recent chat, the seasoned director shared his views on the possibility of Lois Lane transforming into Superwoman in the upcoming sequel to Superman.

At a Q&A session with Wired, I found myself alongside Rachel Brosnahan, David Corenswet, and Nicholas Hoult. During the discussion, one audience member asked, “Does Lois Lane ever gain powers?” In response, Rachel delightfully revealed, “In All-Star Superman, she transforms into Superwoman for a day on her birthday.” Beyond that 2006 issue of All-Star Superman, Lois has also been seen wielding powers in Action Comics #60 from 1943 and Superman #19 from 2024.

Later on, Brosnahan inquired about Gunn’s inspiration from the comics regarding granting powers to Lois Lane in the Superman sequel. To this, Gunn responded affirmatively, expressing, “Every time I envision her with powers, I can feel it…I know it’s meant for Rachel.” She was thrilled about being chosen as Lois Lane, but a part of her also yearned to have the ability to fly.

Afterwards, Rachel Brosnahan spoke to the audience saying, “Pass on to James that there should be a sequel featuring Lois Lane soaring through the skies.” In response, James Gunn indicated that this is the only thing about a sequel he’ll hear from fans regarding his project.

At present, there’s been no clear confirmation about Superman 2. However, during a conversation with Entertainment Weekly, Gunn hinted that he’s working on something related to the Superman universe, but he didn’t explicitly state it as a direct sequel to Superman.
