The adorable Amy Adams has been cast as Lois Lane in the ‘Superman’ reboot. The 36 year red head was given the role after a slew of auditions from formidable fellow actresses. Rumors even saw Twilight saga’s starlet, Kristen Stewart, as the front-runner for the role. (Sorry, Twihards. I am breathing a sigh of relief that she won’t be Lois. I get enough one dimensional angst filled lip biting in the Twilight movies.)
The casting has been a long process that has been taken in cautious steps. The failure of the last Man of Steel film, ‘Superman Returns,’ took a $70 million loss and has fans wary of yet another remake. Kate Bosworth was the last to play Lois Lane as Brandon Routh donned the tights and cape.
Amy has been dubbed “perfect” for filling the shoes of Lois. Henry Cavill was announced as the new Superman a few Zack Snyder, the director of the revamp, broke the news to Amy while he was in Paris promoting his latest film, “Sucker Punch.”
Per Hero Complex:
“There was a big, giant search for Lois,” Snyder said. “For us it was a big thing and obviously a really important role. We did a lot of auditioning but we had this meeting with Amy Adams and after that I just felt she was perfect for it.”
No plot details have been ironed out, but the director did share some of the details of his vision…
“It goes back to what I’ve said about Superman and making him really understandable for today. What’s important to us is making him relevant and real and making him empathetic to today’s audience so that we understand the decisions he makes. That applies to Lois as well. She has to be in the same universe as him [in tone and substance].”
