James Gunn hints at possible Superwoman arc for Lois Lane in DCU
'Like right now in the comics, you can go see her. She has superpowers in the comics as we speak,' Gunn said. 'I think about it every time I see her with powers.'
Lois Lane's superpowered iterations have appeared in multiple comic arcs. In All-Star Superman, she briefly gains powers for a day.
In the Superwoman (2016) series, Lois absorbs Superman's dying energy and takes on the Superwoman mantle.
Rachel Brosnahan, who portrays Lois Lane in Gunn's upcoming Superman reboot, also responded enthusiastically during the interview.
'Tell DC! Tell James Gunn! I'd like to fly,' she joked, encouraging fans to push for Lois's evolution on screen.
While no official plans have been announced, Gunn's remarks suggest the creative team is open to drawing inspiration from those storylines, especially as the new DCU continues to expand and reimagine its core characters.

AI influencer Mia Zelu fools fans and sports star at Wimbledon 2025
Mia Zelu, a poised and polished figure who appeared to grace Wimbledon 2025 with designer fashion and dreamy captions, has been revealed to be entirely AI-generated. Her photorealistic posts amassed more than 150,000 followers and even drew attention from Indian cricketer Rishabh Pant before her non-human identity was exposed. Zelu's Instagram featured the hallmarks of influencer culture: curated luxury outfits, poetic captions, and picture-perfect shots from the All-England Club. 'I still believe in magic. Especially the kind you find in unexpected places, like courtside at Wimbledon,' read one post, echoing the introspective tone that typically garners high engagement. But behind the illusion was not a person, but a machine. While her bio now discloses her AI origin, the deception had already sparked a viral wave, prompting scrutiny and media coverage. Rishabh Pant's interaction with the account helped fuel the buzz, highlighting how convincingly the digital persona had passed for real. Industry watchers say Zelu represents the next phase in influencer marketing. AI-generated characters are already making waves on Instagram and TikTok, combining high realism with strategic storytelling. But critics warn that blurring the line between real and synthetic figures risks eroding online trust. 'This is a social experiment that worked almost too well,' said one tech expert. Meanwhile, a digital strategist argued it's simply evolution: 'Advertising has used fictional characters for decades, this is just the modern version.' The creators of Zelu remain anonymous. But the project's impact is clear: it challenged perceptions of authenticity and showed how easily people can be drawn into believing a digital illusion.
