Rachel Brosnahan was prepared to do whatever it took to end a decade-long travel curse before she embarked on the worldwide press tour for Superman.
The 35-year-old actress brings Lois Lane to life alongside David Corenswet’s Clark Kent in the new DC movie, which she promoted in London and other major cities before its July 11 premiere.
During a Wednesday, July 16, appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Brosnahan revealed that she hired a witch to ensure that her travel experience would go smoothly. The decision came after she stated that DC Studios co-head Peter Safran refused to travel with her due to the severity of the curse.
“I was really worried, obviously, about this upcoming tour, and I got really desperate and I started asking people if anyone knew, like an energy healer or a past-life reader,” she said.
Brosnahan continued, recalling, “I called a witch and brought her to my house.”
“She brought a wishing well and a wand, and she signed an NDA,” the actress said, adding that they spoke about her travel trauma before they “tackled the curse together.”
Happily, the witchcraft helped. “I made it around the world, and I’m here, and I believe in witches and curses now,” Brosnahan admitted. The star gushed about the experience of traveling and interacting with “amazing” and “really enthusiastic” fans on the tour.
Speaking about the curse, she hypothesized that the spell was cast by a “petty” witch because, “I always make it where I’m trying to go, but it’s never not as stressful as humanly possible to get there. It’s the absolute worst.”
“Nobody believes the curse, I should say, until they travel with me. And the number of times that somebody’s looked at me and been like, ‘Ma’am, I’m so sorry. I’ve just never seen this before’ is too many times,” she explained.
According to Brosnahan, the first time that she experienced it was when she was flying to Cannes from a set in New Mexico with a 36-hour window to promote a movie at the film festival.
When she embarked on the drive to the highway, it was a sunny day. However, they wound up caught in an “apocalyptic snowstorm.”
Her audition to play Lois Lane was another “good example of the curse” in motion.
Brosnahan recalled that she had to fly to Los Angeles from New York City, where she was working on Broadway, to try out for the iconic role.
She headed to the airport for a 6 a.m. flight only to learn that it had been delayed.
“And I just had a bad feeling about it, because [of the] curse. And so I went to the gate agent … I was like, ‘Level with me. Is this flight going to take off?’ I had a bad feeling. And she was like, ‘No, the flight’s getting cancelled,’ ” she said.
Panicked, she tried to get on another flight that was taking off on the other side of the airport. As she was trying to buy the ticket, “it sells out from underneath me.”
“So I’m now running back in the other direction because the next flight that takes off is back on the airline where I came from. So I’m in the security line again. And as I’m in the security line booking this flight, the flight gets delayed again. So at this point, I’m running back the other way,” she continued.
The JFK airport is “39 football fields-long,” she said, noting, “It was a very long, exercise-filled morning running back and forth through JFK.
Luckily, Brosnahan managed to get a flight that would put her only an hour and a half late for the audition, saying, “I made it on by the skin of my teeth.”
However, that might have worked out in her favor.
“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. It worked out just fine,” she concluded.
