New Superman star Rachel Brosnahan recently shared a wild story about a “witch” who helped her break a decade-long “travel curse” just in time for the intense global promotion of her latest movie.
A Decade of Travel Nightmares
During an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Rachel Brosnahan, who plays Lois Lane in the new Superman film, confessed to a bizarre travel jinx that had plagued her for 10 years. She revealed that while she always eventually made it to her destination, the journey itself was always incredibly stressful.
Her travel woes were so legendary that even DC Studios co-head Peter Safran once refused to board a plane with her! Rachel laughed as she recounted how people never believed her until they witnessed her travel chaos firsthand. Someone always ended up late, or something utterly unexpected would happen, leading to baffled apologies from airline staff.
She shared a particularly dramatic incident when promoting the film in New Mexico. Despite it being a beautiful, sunny May day, an “apocalyptic snowstorm” suddenly hit while she was driving to the airport. She barely made her flight, arriving “by the skin of her teeth.”
Another time, while the rest of the Superman cast flew off to the Paris Olympics, Rachel was stuck at LAX for eight hours because her luggage had vanished. Everyone else had taken off, and she was left thinking, “Of course I’m not going anywhere.”
Desperate Measures for the Superman Tour
With the demanding global press tour for Superman looming, Rachel became desperate to lift her persistent travel curse. She began asking friends and family if they knew any energy healers or past life readers who could help.
Her search led her to an unconventional solution: “I ended up calling a witch,” she told Fallon. This wasn’t just any witch; Rachel took the situation seriously enough to invite her to her home.
The Witch, the Wand, and the NDA
Rachel detailed the extraordinary visit, explaining that the witch arrived with a “wishing well” and a “wand.” In a truly Hollywood twist, Rachel deadpanned that she even made the witch sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) before the ritual began.
The witch delved into Rachel’s past traumas and life experiences as part of the process. It was an unusual approach, but Rachel was hopeful for a breakthrough after a decade of travel torment.
Did the Magic Work?
When Jimmy Fallon pressed her on whether the curse had truly been lifted, Rachel nodded emphatically. “I’m happy to report it did,” she confirmed, implying a smooth and successful promotional tour for the blockbuster film.
With the new Superman movie, starring David Corenswet as the Man of Steel, raking in over $250 million worldwide, it seems Rachel’s unconventional approach to travel preparation certainly paid off.
