Rumor: Malin Akerman Up For Lois Lane?

Rumor: Malin Akerman Up For Lois Lane?

Just something through the grapevine for now, but word is that the Watchmen star might be in the running, or at least auditioning for the role of Lois Lane in Zack Snyder's Superman reboot..

You knew it was gonna happen! Superman is cast so we move on to Lois. Expect many casting rumors over the next while, here is the first of em.



Word is that Malin Akerman(Silk Spectre in Watchmen) may be "connected" to the role. The origin of the rumor seems to be hard to pinpoint at the moment but I managed to get a quote from a PR agency who say..

Something a client heard on the grapevine. Could just mean she auditioned. Not surprising, she was in Watchmen.


Pretty sketchy! Still, I agree that having worked with her before Snyder would be likely to at least see Akerman for an audition. Matthew Goode was close to nabbing the Superman role after all so you never know. Do you guys think she could make a good Lois Lane?

Makes sense that Snyder would look at an actress he's worked with in the past...I like Akerman and would be ok with this. Great work ROR! :)

I wouldn't mind her being cast as Lois Lane, but my vote goes to Olivia Wilde.

I hate to say it, but she's sort of boring & i'm not sure I can see her as Lois.
Saying that, I only really care about Superman so I don't care if Lois isn't even in this film

I don't read the comics so can anyone tell me, is there another love interest of Clark's? or has Lois been the only one all this time?

Not bad, though the complains have been told up there (I don't really concern nationality though)!

Maybe Snyder learns from Nolan to use actors that he has worked with before?

Zooey Deschanel is Lois Lane. If not her then Lizzy Caplan or Rachel McAdams! Malin Akerman is too eggheaded. Her head disturbed me through Watchmen. She's simply an egghead, but less than Kate Bosworth. I really hope this is a stupid rumour!

She is great, but my vote goes to

Olivia Wilde, Evangeline Lilly or Odette Yustman


Jason Isaacs, Patrick Wilson or Michael Fassbender is Lex Luthor


And Paul Bettany is Brainiac

She was the weak link in Watchmen, I don't want her. There are much better actresses then her

She's not bad, but I would like to see Wilde in that role.

You want a Lois with personality, spunk and who's also a looker. Akerman is great-looking but lacks the sassiness. Two words: Emily Blunt. Best choice.

I also like Rachel McAdams. Check her out in State of Play, not a bad movie and she plays a reporter.

I was thinking of Laura Mennell who played Janey in Watchmen.

Zooey Deschanel is my choice besides Malin Ackerman is a horrible actress

Wouldn't mind her if she dyed her hair darker (About time we had a hot lois in a Superman movie) but I'd prefer it to go to Olivia Wilde or my personal favourite Rachel McAdams

Lois has to hot, but she has to be a good actress. I say Racheal McAdams isn't bad.
AlexDeLarge87
AlexDeLarge87 - 1/31/2011, 7:53 AM
TheGODDAMNSUPERGUY@ Thanks. Yeah Lilly is my favorite too.

Pruitt Taylor Vince (Captivity, Identity, The Legend of 1900) is my choice as Rudy Jones aka Parasite. He is great actor and this role is made for him.


As for Metallo, Fassbender would be great if he doesnt get Luthor´s role.

bubba27 - 1/31/2011, 7:57 AM
I'd also be very happy with Rachel McAdams but Im not gonna hold my breath on that one
