United Kingdom, July 7 -- Rachel Brosnahan sees similarities between herself and Lois Lane.

The 34-year-old actress plays Lois in the new Superman movie, and Rachel admits that she's like her on-screen character in many ways.

The Hollywood star told The Washington Post newspaper: "The scariest part about this project is that she feels the closest to myself I've ever played.

The actress observed that Lois "prides herself on being ten steps ahead of everyone else".
