Could Jessica Biel Be A Front-Runner For A Role In Superman Reboot?

While this could be a stretch, a new rumor has emerged possibly suggesting that Jessica Biel could be a front-runner for a role in Zack Snyder's Superman reboot. Check it out!

Up to now, what's known regarding Zack Snyder's Superman remake includes British actor Henry Cavill donning the tights of the Man of Steel, while Warner Bros. is currently seeking a female lead. And among actresses included in the contention, said not to be for Lois Lane, included The Illusionist's Jessica Biel.

Well, late last night, Ain't It Cool News' Harry Knowles was tipped an interesting bit of info, though not assuring, which may not only confirm that Biel is in the running, but as a front-runner. Harry says verbatim:

Received an e-mail overnight-its sender details sighting Zack Snyder and Jessica Biel heading into a sit down meal at a restaurant I won't specify herein (the sender did tell me the name of the place, how he/she chanced across them, and said he/she spotted director and actress yesterday - Tuesday). Ironically, the sender said he/she recognized Zack instantly but took a few moments to track on Ms. Biel.

Far-stretched? Yes. But who never know what a little lunch could lead to. What do you think? Anyhow, special thanks to 'TorturedXGenius' for the heads up. And commencing filming in August, the tentatively titled Superman, Man Of Steel releases Mid-December.

I'd heard she was a frontrunner too. And she's a Snyder kind of girl.

who said she's up for lois it says nothing about lois there so don't lose faith fan boys yeah I would either like Olivia Wilde, Rachel McAdams or Rashida Jones(she might be a bit too old) get the role of Lois IF Biel is up for lois lane then I am willing to give her chance

Winstead for Lois.
Carla Gugino for Martha Kent.
Jon Hamm for Jonathon Kent.
Brandon Routh for Jor-El.
Laura Vandervoort for Lara-El.
Shia for Jimmy Olson.
Hugh Laurie for Perry White.
Micheal Rosenbaum for Lex Luthor.
Noel Niel for Doomsday.

Welllll, she was ALREADY rumored to be a front runner and since there are now 3 more names confirmed and she ain't one of em, kinda makes this a bit moot MF!

@RorMachine The fact that none of those three actresses are American, could imply that there could be two female roles in the movie. Because they weren't going for Lane, COULD mean the American actreses are. You never know bro)

Jessica Biel CANNOT act. I'd rather have someone else.

This way Shaman Wilde can still be your Lois

True enough dude, anything is possible I guess!

thegreek- Jessica Biel as Supergirl??? Hmmm... a bit old but... hmmmmmmmmm... I wouldn't be against that actually. Just as long as Wilde is LOIS!!! LOL :P

Just to be clear though, i don't think Wilde to be the best thing since sliced bread. But along side Cavill, i think she fits perfectly and the two could create a great chemestry. I mean just look at them up top! They practically look like they were made for each other LMAO ;P

glad i could pass along that info bro, and just because she isnt on the 'new' list that came out, doesnt mean she is not a front-runner or IS a front-runner. The new list that came out could just be actresses added on to pre-existing list (if it's real anyway). Also for example with THOR Skarsgard was the front-runner, with Hemsworth no where in the picture until later on, even when it was reported that Mr. Branagh and him had lunch in LA..so anything is possible..

Rachel McAdams for Lois Lane!!!!

@RacerRex - Not that many of those gals are allright without makeup. Olivia Wilde looks borderline insane without makeup. On the question "Do you like my implants" - Yes, oh yes I do!

One of these should be the next Lois Lane:

She will never ever be Lois, if she gets this gig I'll eat my own head off.

i ain't got a problem with her being lois,but didn't she say that she never wanted to do another superhero movie after blade trinity.

@ Angelus, I completely agree with your choices for Lois Lane, gals with some charisma/acting chops!
thegreek

Shaman/ Naterator - Glad you can kind of see it the possibility as supergirl.. She has the physic to pull it off ... As for her acting it is borderline.. It would be an interesting addition to the movie either way .

Angelus - I prefer Rachel Adams out of all of them ... ;-)

loganoneil
loganoneil - 2/4/2011, 10:40 AM
No, no, HELL NO to Zoey Deschanel as Lois! I want my Lois smart, intelligent and functional, not looking like she's eternally stoned out of her gourd! EVERY performance that woman has turned in looks like she's comimg off a weekend bender and searching for a Circle-K to load up on Twinkies! @#$! NO to Zoey!
thegreek
thegreek - 2/4/2011, 10:41 AM
Daniel - Even more interesting

@loganoneil, LMAO exactly dude, i agree with u on zoey.

i just cant seem to jump on the band wagon of Olivia Wilde, i just cant see her being lois lane. obvouisly u can find bad pictures of just about anyone like RacerREX did, but i still think biel is hot although i cant picture her as lois lane either, wonder woman cameo would be interesting. maybe someone that isnt as well known that can act should play lois lane so they can sign her to several movies without paying hugh amounts of cash. whoever they get i hope she plays lois well and the movie is awsome.

@SuperGuy - Amen... Though The Twilight chick was the worst idea I ever heard... But you know...

And Jessica Biel has an amazing arse... she can be whatever she wants to be in this film... Though I agree with @Shaman... And prefer my Lois to be WILDE!!!

Why don't they just announce who isn't being considered for Lois or a the female lead. The list would be a lot shorter.

I'd prefer this..

If they waste Jessica Biel on some B.S. role in this film i will be SOOOOOOO pissed!!! There are so few women in Hollywood with her build, SHE NEEDS TO PLAY A SUPERHERO!!!

Supergirl would be AWESOME!!!
