Although the role of Lois Lane is quite a bit different from Midge, there are definitely ways in which Brosnahan can bring elements of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel into Superman. For example, Lois is generally depicted as an intelligent and opinionated woman, and this is definitely in line with who Midge is.
