The folks at the LA Times'
Hero Complex has landed an exclusive on whose the latest to join Zack Snyder's much-anticipated
Superman: Man Of Steel. Portraying none other than the lovely Lois Lane,
The Fighter Academy-award nominated actress Amy Adams is set. Check out what Snyder had to say.
“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.”
“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 relebant 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].”
Minor Update: More From Snyder...
“Second only to Superman himself, the question of who will play Lois Lane is arguably what fans have been most curious about," Snyder said in a statement Sunday. "So we are excited to announce the casting of Amy Adams, one of the most versatile and respected actresses in films today. Amy has the talent to capture all of the qualities we love about Lois: smart, tough, funny, warm, ambitious and, of course, beautiful."
When questioned on the feeling of developing a film where every casting choice is a global news flash, ”It’s an epic thing, no doubt. But this good news is the cast is shaping up to fit that.”
While keeping quite on the presence of Lois Lane, Snyder considered her
“a linchpin” to the reboot and that it's prominent that she appear with contemporary appeal and spirit.
Anyhow, with Amy Adams joining Henry Cavill, Diane Lane and Kevin Costner,
Superman: Man Of Steel is slated for release Mid-December, next year!
