Despite the caption claiming “No fun was had in the making of this movie,” Rachel Brosnahan’s latest Instagram post suggests quite the opposite. The Emmy-winning actress recently shared behind-the-scenes moments from her new thriller film “The Amateur,” revealing the lighter side of what appears to be an intense production.

The carousel of images captures Brosnahan and the film crew in various candid moments on set. The post, hashtagged “#bts” (behind the scenes), shows the team enjoying “silly moments” during the filmmaking process. Brosnahan tagged several key collaborators in the post, including cinematographer Martin Ruhe and others from the team. The post also highlights the camaraderie between the actress and the production team, showcasing the bonds formed during the filmmaking process.

“The Amateur” represents one of Brosnahan’s significant projects, in which she continues to diversify her acting portfolio. The film recently had its theatrical release, as indicated by one of her previous Instagram posts where she mentioned: “London -> NYC -> Tokyo with this delightful crew talking about this movie we love with so many of you. The Amateur is in theaters today!”

Rachel Brosnahan has established herself as one of Hollywood’s most versatile and talented actors. After gaining widespread recognition for her portrayal of Midge Maisel in Amazon’s “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” for which she won an Emmy and Golden Globe, Brosnahan has been expanding her repertoire with various film projects.

Recently, Brosnahan has been cast as Lois Lane opposite David Corenswet in the upcoming Superman film. Director James Gunn highlighted their chemistry in a recent social media post: “When I cast Superman, I needed to cast Clark, I needed to cast Lois, but I also needed to cast that special onscreen chemistry between two actors that can’t be explained. That’s the thing David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan brought to this movie together.”

Beyond her work on “The Amateur,” Brosnahan has maintained an active presence on social media, sharing glimpses of her other professional endeavors. Recent posts show her attending industry events like CinemaCon and the Critics’ Choice Awards.

She was also recently honored alongside Greg Nobile and Joaquina Kalukango at the NYTW (New York Theatre Workshop) gala, reflecting on her roots in the theatre. In a heartfelt post about the event, Brosnahan wrote: “It was surreal to stand up in front of this room when it feels like yesterday I was sitting in the audience with the cast of Othello in 2016.”

While Brosnahan prepares for her high-profile role as Lois Lane in the upcoming Superman reboot, scheduled for release on July 11, 2025, she continues to balance blockbuster projects with independent films, such as “The Amateur.” This versatility has become a hallmark of her career, allowing her to showcase her range as an actress across different genres and production scales.

As “The Amateur” continues its theatrical run, fans of Brosnahan can enjoy these candid glimpses into the filmmaking process, reminding us that even in serious productions, there’s always room for “silly moments” behind the scenes.
