Henry Cavill made his long-awaited return as Superman in Black Adam, but could his Man of Steel costar Amy Adams join him in the new DCU as Lois Lane?

After years of rumors and speculation, Henry Cavill finally returned as Superman in Black Adam's mid-credits scene, and is reportedly set to play a major role in the DCU moving forward.

Amy Adams debuted as Lois Lane alongside Cavill in Zack Snyder's Man of Steel before going on to appear in Batman V Superman and Justice League, but will she be joining her MOS costar in this new era of DC-based movies?

Adams was asked that very question while speaking to Variety about her new movie, Disenchanted.

The Academy Award-nominee shared her excitement for Cavill's return, but revealed that she hasn't been contacted about reprising the role of Lois Lane. It sounds like she would be open to the possibility, but says she'll support "whatever direction they go" if another actress was to step in to play the character.

There's always a chance Adams has been in touch with Warner Bros./DC Studios about a potential return as the intrepid Daily Planet reporter and is simply not at liberty to divulge that information. After all, Lois Lane is always going to be a vital part of pretty much any Superman story, and it's difficult to imagine them bringing Cavill back without Adams.

That said, quite a few fans have complained about a perceived lack of chemistry between Cavill and Adams over the years, and it's probably fair to say that her take on Lois has proved to be divisive overall.

What do you guys think? Would you like to see Adams back in the role, or would you prefer if another actress was cast? Drop us a comment down below.

She's so wasted in these movies.

Might as well bring her back. She's played the character like 3 times now, so it'd be kinda weird just to see another person play Lois in these movies.

That being said, I never liked her Lois Lane. Amy's great and all, but Lois Lane is supposed to be sharp and sassy af. Amy too sweet to pull it off lol. But maybe with new direction, that could change.

@KWilly - has Lana Lang showed up? Wouldn't mind seeing a universe where Clark ends up with Lana.

@KWilly - Good point. I liked her well enough in MoS, but I disliked how much she was just a prop for Superman to adore and have a link to our world in BvS and JL. Yeah, she has that stupid bullet subplot in the UE of BvS, but I feel like those movies (and what they imply would happen in the unmade sequels) just treat Lois as something to bring Superman to and back from the brink and not a character in her own right.

@Taonrey - Lana (as an adult) only appeared in the funeral and then the reception at Kent farm scenes at the end of BvS played by Emily Peterson, just I'm not sure if it was only in the Ultimate cut or the theatrical version too.

Just realize almost every actress that plays Lois is older than the actor that plays Clark. Is that a source material thing or just a coincidence?

How do you waste a talent like Amy Adams? Hire Zack Snyder.

Great actress but can't say she clicked with me as Lois.

Erica Durance was f*cking GREAT tho. :3

@GhostDog - True. They have Anakin/Padme type chemistry, i.e. none.

As amazing as she is as an actress, and she is great, I just never really liked her in the role of Lois Lane. Maybe that was just Snyder but it just never really worked for me.

@TheUnworthyThor - She is good actress but because of Snyder's story telling there was not really alot of spots for them to have good chemistry. They meet, she interviews him, she saves him first and then he saves her and they kiss. No real flirting or getting to know each other on a personal level. With that being said I would only bring Henry back and recast the entire movie making it a soft reboot.

No thanks. Back in the day, Sandra Bullock would've been an easy perfect choice. Hell, I'd still take her as Lois Lane.

Terri Hatcher and the animated series are still the two that got her right for me. Erica Durance was great and the woman who plays her now on Superman and Lois has really grown on me. Amy should have been cast as Lana and had her be Clarks original love interest in Man of steel. Someone he could trust with his secret but couldn't stay with her for that exact reason, to protect her. I would love to see her recast but where do you go with their relationship now? If Snyder cut is canon, we see the marriage, the baby? Meh, I want to see some real superman adventures not super dad. We have that in superman and lois. This whole thing needs a soft reboot. Cast Lizzie Caplan as Lois!

@micvalpro - She would be a good choice. Unfortunately with bringing Henry back they only can move forward with the relationship. I would do a marriage story because eventhough we have them together in the TV show we never saw the wedding or the lead up. Personally because of how rushed Synder did their story I would prefer a start over but Henry's too old to play a fresh faced new reporter.

I think this was a miscast in the very beginning. That stated, they might as well keep going with her as Lois. It could be worse.

BUT

If the do replace her. They should go with Ellie Bamber. A bit on the young side but she looks a lot like Adams. So the change would not be as jarring.

Always felt that Michelle Monaghan was the perfect Lois Lane just waiting to be cast.
I like Amy in the role, but she's not a standout like Erica Durance was - it wouldn't be the end of the world if they recast.

Who? Not a fan of Ginger Lane. She should have been cast as Jenny Olsen, Superman's butch pal.

The Gingerism must be stopped.
