An update on the Aronofsky story over at Moviehole not only suggests that WB are looking for Portman to play Lois in this next Superman movie, but that she was their first choice last time around too!..
A friend that worked on "Black Swan" with Mr Aronofsky tells us that the filmmaker has actually "been talking about this for a while" and that they don't think talks have "progressed beyond the suggestion of having Nat[alie Portman] be Lois. They wanted her first time around, this time they can get her - with Darren. But who knows where that's at now...nothing on paper yet. Don't add his name to the IMDB director listing on the film's page yet", she adds.
The idea of Aronofsky as a potential director for
Superman has certainly been met with approval from most fans here on CBM. I can only imagine having the lovely and talented Miss Portman jump on as Lois Lane would add to the excitement. Portman is no stranger to CBMs, having already played Evey Hammond in
V For Vendetta and will soon grace our screens as Jane Foster in
Thor. IF Aronofsky does end up behind the camera, I wouldn't be surprised if she did follow. Of course its all just speculation for now.
