Rachel Brosnahan slams actors for bashing their own superhero movies

Rachel Brosnahan is fighting for the superhero genre.

The actress, who is playing Lois Lane in the new “Superman” film, called out actors who complain about their own superhero movies while chatting with Amanda Seyfried for an Interview Magazine piece published Monday.

“That’s the thing about these movies: You can feel it when people are doing it with passion and grace and curiosity,” said Seyfried, 39.

Brosnahan, 34, replied, “I don’t know why people say yes only to then turn around and complain about it. Look, I don’t want to sh-t on other actors, but there was a minute where it was cool to not like superhero movies and to look back on projects like this and pooh-pooh them.”

“Do it or don’t do it, and then stand by it,” Brosnahan added.

Seyfried, who has never been in a superhero movie, praised James Gunn’s upcoming “Superman” remake.

“I honestly don’t think you should call it a superhero movie ever again, because it isn’t just that, and I think people are going to see that,” said the “Mean Girls” star.

“It’s really important to have this kind superhero, this guy who’s just trying to do his best,” Seyfried added.

Brosnahan, in agreement, told the fellow actress: “The cool thing about it is that it’s what you expect, and then there’s more. Of course, there’s great fighting and stunts and big monsters and good and evil.”

The “Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” star is portraying Clark Kent’s colleague-turned-love interest in “Superman.”

David Corenswet stars as the Man of Steel, alongside Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Ed Gathegi as Mister Terrific, Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl and Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern.

As Brosnahan mentioned, many actors have starred in superhero flicks and then turned on the films after their releases.

Dakota Johnson famously bashed her 2024 Marvel movie “Madame Web” after it flopped at the box office.

“I had never done anything like it before. I probably will never do anything like it again because I don’t make sense in that world,” she told Bustle last year.

“And I know that now. But sometimes in this industry, you sign on to something, and it’s one thing and then as you’re making it, it becomes a completely different thing, and you’re like, ‘Wait, what?’” Johnson added.

Christian Bale also criticized the process of making 2022’s “Thor: Love and Thunder,” in which he played the villain Gorr the God Butcher.

“I mean, the definition of it is monotony,” the Oscar winner, 51, told GQ of green-screen acting. “You’ve got good people. You’ve got other actors who are far more experienced at it than me. Can you differentiate one day from the next? No. Absolutely not. “

But, like Brosnahan, other actors have defended the superhero genre, including “Man of Steel” and “Thor: Love and Thunder” star Russell Crowe.

“You’re telling me you signed up for a Marvel movie, and some f–king universe for cartoon characters … and you didn’t get enough pathos?” Crowe, 61, said last year in response to Johnson’s negative “Madame Web” comments.

“These are jobs,” Crowe added. “Here’s your role, play the role. If you’re expecting this to be some kind of life-changing event, I just think you’re here for the wrong reasons.”

“Superman” comes out in theaters on July 8.
