Brosnahan’s journey from stand-up comedy to action star might not be the most obvious path, but it makes perfect sense. She’s already proven she can hold an audience’s attention with sheer charisma, and now she’s setting her sights on something even bigger.

Her love for intense, competition-based reality shows started during the pandemic lockdown, when she, like many, found herself looking for new ways to stay entertained. But what started as casual viewing soon turned into an obsession with shows that test human endurance, willpower, and survival instincts.

This unexpected passion for watching contestants push their physical and mental limits might just be the secret ingredient that primes her for leading a blockbuster action franchise.

How Survivor shaped Rachel Brosnahan’s action star potential

Fans knowRachel Brosnahanbest as the witty, quick-talking Midge Maisel, a woman who can command a room with a single joke. But could she command an action scene? If her obsession with survival reality shows likeSurvivoris any clue, the answer is a resounding yes.

Contestants onSurvivorendure punishing endurance challenges, strategic backstabbing, andthe ultimate test of mental fortitude. Imagine Brosnahan balancing on a tiny perch for hours in the pouring rain, if she’s as competitive as she seems, she’d probably win.

And let’s be real, her ability to deliver rapid-fire dialogue inThe Marvelous Mrs. Maiselproves she’s got the quick reflexes needed for an action flick. Need her to dodge explosions while delivering a one-liner? Easy. Duck and roll under laser beams while keeping a straight face? No problem. If she’s been mentally simulating Survivor challenges for the past few years, she’s more than ready to perhaps lead a high-energy franchise like Jurassic World.

Rachel Brosnahan graduates from Survivor to Alone

Rachel Brosnahan didn’t stop atSurvivor. After getting hooked on survival-based reality TV, she took it one step further by watchingAloneon the History Channel, a show that takes survival to an entirely new extreme. After watchingAlone, she felt confident that if she was dropped in a jungle, she would end up alright. In an interview withThe Guardian, she said,

I’ve picked up a thing or two. That is, if I had time to prepare. If not, I’d definitely get eaten.

UnlikeSurvivor, where contestants rely on alliances and teamwork,Alonestrips everything away. Participants are dropped into the wild, completely solo, with nothing but a few survival tools and their wits. This shift in her viewing habits could signal an even grittier edge to her action star potential. Learning about true isolation, self-reliance, and mental endurance could translate beautifully into the kind of lone-wolf hero roles Hollywood loves.

Whether she’s playing a scientist running from dinosaurs or a rogue agent surviving in the wilderness, her deep dive into survival tactics might just make her a convincing action lead.

Now, with her star shining brighter than ever, thanks in part to her Critics Choice Award buzz, Hollywood should take note. She’s already conquered stand-up and period dramas. She will definitely conquersuperhero films with her upcoming performance inSupermanas well. So, if Brosnahan can navigate the cutthroat world of extreme survival shows from her couch, imagine what she could do on the big screen. One survival skill at a time.
