Amy Adams Talks More About Her Role As Lois Lane In Zack Snyder's MAN OF STEEL

In an interview with Empire Magazine, Amy Adams has gone into further detail about her role as Lois Lane in Man of Steel. The actress had been in talks to play the character in both McG's aborted Superman: Flyby and Bryan Singer's Superman Returns, so she was of course overjoyed to finally get the chance to bring her take on the iconic character to life on the big screen. "I have always identified with Lois. She is suited to my personality. When she came up for the third time, I was like, 'Okay, this is ridiculous. I have to play Lois'. I know other people have played the role, and others will play the role after me, but this was me putting my stamp on it."

As it turns out, that stamp will be very different to past versions; Man of Steel will instead feature a Lois Lane who is an, "independent, feisty woman, all of those things, but set in a more identifiable world." In other words, don't expect the same damsel in distress version that Margot Kidder played in Superman! "I loved that version, but we have moved on. She has become more a free ranging journalist, someone who likes to be hands on. The nature of the newspaper business has changed so much. There is so much more pressure." Finally, when asked about the relationship between her character and Henry Cavill's Clark Kent, she was careful not to give anything away, describing their dynamic only as, "a strong friendship".







In the pantheon of superheroes, Superman is the most recognized and revered character of all time. Clark Kent/Kal-El (Henry Cavill) is a young twenty-something journalist who feels alienated by powers beyond his imagination. Transported years ago to Earth from Krypton, a highly advanced, distant planet, Clark struggles with the ultimate question 'Why am I here?' Shaped by the values of his adoptive parents Martha (Diane Lane) and Jonathan Kent (Kevin Costner), Clark discovers having extraordinary abilities means making difficult decisions. When the world is in dire need of stability, an even greater threat emerges. Clark must become a Man of Steel, to protect the people he loves and shine as the world’s beacon of hope – Superman.

Hair color does not really matter as long as she gives a Good performance, after the dissapointment IM3 was I believe MOS has a lot more chances of being the big movie if the summer .

i see both sides. obviously she shouldn't be overlooked because of her hair color, just like perry white doesn't need to be white any more. but even when lois had red hair in the comics, it was a pretty dark auburn. i don't think people believe she can't be GOOD because she has light hair, i think they just feel like making her hair a little darker would have shown her commitment to and respect for the tration of the character.

as for white, well, when superman was created there was never a question of white's skin color because no black man could ever dream of being an editor. adding diversity isn't breaking canon, it's simply making the story look the way it really would in today's world.

The main point is/should be that both Fishburn and Adams are great actors. Particularly Adams. She is fantastic in everything I've seen her in. Watch the Fighter and Trouble with the Curve. She may finally make Lois less than completely annoying. She will be the reason I see this movie.

How about waiting to judge a thing by its merits...novel.

One of the main reasons I'm excited about this film (though there is a LOT to be excited for), love me some Amy.

Whoever has the film rights to "Wicked" need to hurry the f up and cast her as Glinda before she gets too old!

Amy Adams looks to be the cutest Lois ever. Really beautiful in the interrogation room scene.

I want Amy Adams, why didn't any cast her the first or second time around?

TheAntiGrif - 4/27/2013, 8:39 AM
William Shatners Tupee, people! Amy Adams has titular sex appeal. She is a brilliant actress who can hold every performance she's in. So lois gets an update who doesnt like that. If a britt like myself can play supes and as you've seen do justice to it so far, Amy Adams can definetly play the American strong headed, sophisticated, news journalist. Now by the might if thor's hammer shut your mouths and enjoy her beautiful smile or no scotch for anyone. Rounds on me fellas and ladies

The mentality of Lois Lane has changed A LOT over the years while still remaining very recognizable.

Brunette hair

It doesnt matter that much but um would it have killed her?

Ranger14 - 4/27/2013, 8:44 AM
I still am not bought into her as Lois. Sure she can act and may be cute, but nothing I have seen yet makes me think of Lois when she is shown. I hope the movie proves me wrong, but I don't know how people can say she is the best Lois ever when we have seen very little of her.

Damn straight. Adams will kill it. Period.

@ Ranger14 you make a valid point! I am big time Amy Adams fan and I will wait to see the movie to make a judgment call.

Strong friendship my ass!! Friends don't make out in front of the girls father and the entire military! lol

She was gonna be Lois in McG's Superman, the same movie where Cavill was cast as Superman? Interesting.

I am slowly starting to accept her as Lois. SLOWLY. She seems to feel the same way about Lois as I do.

I really like Amy Adams...not too hard to dye her hair brunette to play Lois.
She would have been perfect with darker hair.

JULEZ13 - 4/27/2013, 9:00 AM
Amy looked like she wanted to eat Cavill up in that interrogation room. Cavill just fed off of that. I have no doubt after seeing that scene that they will have great chemistry.

Other than her red hair, her age is what really bothered me. They're already photoshopping her wrinkles away in photos. By the sequel they'll be doing it in almost every scene she is in. Lets hope she ages slowly. smh

I suppose being a redhead makes her a mash-up of Lois Lane & Clark's childhood girlfriend Lana Lang who was a redhead in the comics.
