Watch: Rachel Brosnahan's 'travel curse' nearly cost her 'Superman' audition
July 17 (UPI) -- Superman actress Rachel Brosnahan says she had a "travel curse" that nearly caused her to miss the audition to portray the iconic Lois Lane. The former Marvelous Mrs. Maisel star, 35, discussed the curse, and how she broke it, when she stopped by The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon Wednesday. "This is a good example of the curse," she said, referring to her Superman audition. Brosnahan was in New York City doing a show on Broadway and was attempting to make it to Los Angeles for the audition. "We got offstage at like 11:00 p.m. The only flight that would get me there in time was at 6 a.m. So, I got to the airport. I got there early, and the flight starts getting delayed and I just had a bad feeling about it, because curse," she explained. The flight was ultimately canceled and she ran back and forth across the airport trying to book another flight. "I got there and honestly I feel like the chaos that came with me after what I'd been through that morning must have felt so Lois Lane-coded or something because it worked out just fine," she said. She added that her curse is so bad she hired a witch to break it ahead of the Superman promotional tour. "I got really desperate and I started asking people if anyone knew like an energy healer or like a past-life reader... And so I called a witch and brought her to my house," she said. "...She brought a wishing well and a wand and she signed an NDA." Brosnahan reports her travel curse has since been lifted. Superman raked in some $122 million at the box office over the weekend. The film stars David Corenswet as the titular hero.

Superman's new Lois Lane hopes latest superhero reboot 'does the fans proud'

The actress shot to fame playing Miriam 'Midge' Maisel on Amazon Prime Video's comedy drama Marvelous Mrs Maisel, which aired for five seasons until 2023. In her next project, the 34-year-old is starring as the iconic Lois Lane in James Gunn's upcoming superhero reboot, opposite David Corenswet, Nicholas Hoult, Wendell Pierce and Alan Tudyk. Speaking to Metro ahead of the blockbuster – which is released in cinemas on July 11 – she opened up about following in the footsteps of some incredible actresses who had the role before her, and what she is excited to bring to the 2025 version of the Daily Planet's best reporter. 'Well, I feel like everybody who's taken the mantle has brought a little bit of themselves to this iconic character, and so I was excited to take a swing at it,' she told us. 'I understand her quite deeply. She's somebody who can be intense, but is really passionate, and is motivated by the word 'no'. 'She's relentless in her pursuit of the truth and what she perceives as justice. It was fun to play somebody who was so invested, so determined and unflappable. It was a blast. 'I hope that we've been able to do the fans proud with this one.' While details are thin on the ground about what we can expect from David's efforts as Clark Kent, there has already been a lot of chatter about the footage released so far – including a trailer which has been met with criticism from fans who questioned why Superman looked a little 'off'. Unpacking her time on set, Rachel shed light on the most surreal aspects of bringing the superhero to the big screen. When asked about the weirdest moments behind the scenes, she continued: 'This isn't new, I suppose everybody knows this, but probably how much stuff wasn't actually there! 'We've seen from the trailer that there's a dog in the movie, but most of the time that dog wasn't actually there, or was a tennis ball on a stick, or was sometimes played by an actor in a motion capture suit. I think that was probably the most surprising. 'There's a lot of make-believe involved in superhero movies.'

'I feel like this campaign combines two of my favorite things, food sustainability and French fries. 'I hope it leads to an increased awareness around regenerative farming, and also the role that it plays in transforming the way we produce food. For people, it can be as simple as a swap in your product choice, and it can help support the journey to a more resilient food system over time. More Trending 'It feels so obvious to me. We only have one planet, and we have to take care of it. It feeds all of us, and we have to feed it … That's how we make huge movement towards a more sustainable future.' Rachel partnered with McCain for the 'Taste Good. Feel Good' campaign to highlight the brand's journey to implement regenerative agricultural practices at 100% of the farms they partner with by 2030.

Etoile canceled after one season at Amazon, despite two-season order
Etoile has danced its last dance. The Amazon Prime Video series from Marvelous Mrs. Maisel creator Amy Sherman-Palladino has been canceled after one season, in spite of the fact that it was initially given a two-season order by Amazon back in 2023, per Variety. The news of the show's cancellation comes roughly six weeks after the series first premiered on Amazon in mid-April and garnered generally positive reviews. The show follows two struggling dance companies in New York and Paris who decide to switch their principal dancers in the hopes of saving their companies. Recommended Videos In spite of generally positive reviews, the show never cracked the Nielsen Top 10, and it filmed on location in both New York and Paris, which undoubtedly made the prospect of giving it a second season somewhat daunting. The series was given its initial greenlight by a previous administration at Amazon MGM Studios, headed by Jennifer Salke. Salke left that role after seven years in March, just a month before the series was set to premiere. The show's binge model release, once the default for streaming service, has become increasingly rare on Amazon Prime Video. Dropping all eight episodes at once, especially for a new series, leaves very little time for word of mouth to spread. Given the expense of filming the show on location, though, it's possible that the show was always going to be a tough sell for renewal. Coming off the success of Maisel, though, it seems like Amazon wanted to give Sherman-Palladino a blank check. Unfortunately, Etoile didn't cash in.
