Lois Lane actor Rachel Brosnahan learned she got the part from Superman director James Gunn in the most awkward way possible: "I'm in the bathroom, but I'm not about to miss this call"

Lois Lane looking over her shoulder.

Rachel Brosnahan was one of the earliest cast members announced for writer/director James Gunn's Superman reboot movie. And while she also found out she was cast fairly quickly after auditioning, she was in a rather uncomfortable place to receive such an important call: in the bathroom at the mall.

"I was in an Aritzia bathroom in SoHo looking at my phone and it said: 'Maybe: James Gunn'," Brosnahan says jokingly in a conversation with actor Amanda Seyfried for Interview Magazine. "Maybe James Gunn is calling me. I'm trying to get out of there before he realizes that I'm in a bathroom, but I'm not about to miss this call. I answered and he said, 'How would you like to be Lois Lane?'"
