Olivia Wilde A New Lois Lane Candidate For Superman Reboot?

Olivia Wilde A New Lois Lane Candidate For Superman Reboot?

Rumors regarding who'll star in Zack Snyder's Superman reboot as the lovely Lois Lane don't seem to be stopping anytime soon, with a new claim adding TRON: Legacy's Olivia Wilde to the mix.

Now according to Latino Review, Tron: Legacy actress Olivia Wilde may have tried out for the love interest of Zack Snyder's Superman reboot, the lovely Lois Lane. Sourcing their claim on a "close reliable" source, who of course they won't mention, the site says:

"What I was told today was that Olivia Wilde (TRON: Legacy, Cowboys & Aliens) has tested for Lois Lane in "Superman." The source knows this because they've been hired to work on "KIN" and the dates may be pushed back to accommodate the "Superman" schedule should she get the gig. They also mentioned to me that the Rachel McAdams story is true.


After a failed attempt in getting a comment from Warner Bros., who replied,"No Comment at this time," when questioned of the rumor, you CAN take this with a grain of salt. However, being that 'Lois Lane' seems to be the "It" role in Hollywood, whose latest contenders include Dianna Agron, Jessica Biel, and Rachel McAdams, it's most likly true. What do you think?

Anyhow, with Henry Cavill set lead as Clark Kent in Zack Snyder's Superman revision, the film is set for theaters Mid-December, starting production in August.

Hey, she could be a pretty awesome Lois. I liked her in Tron Legacy.

Can't wait for them to announce the villain.

I still think Zooey Deschanel is the perfect Lois Lane. She's smart, beautiful and tough, everything Lois should be. It would give her room to grow as an actress and great to see her in a superhero movie. She has almost like an angel like beauty to her and someone you would believe Superman would fall in love with.

Olivia Wilde is ok but not my pick for Lois, she is to tough and if she played Lois, it would be way to similar to her other roles. Plus, she is nothing special. She's hot but not beautiful, and Superman would fall for someone more beautiful, and Olivia Wilde is just more average hot, nothing special and girls like her are a dime a dozen in Hollywood. She is ok but not great.

Olivia Wilde is getting a nasty reputation at DListed. I think people over there love to hate just to hate, especially because Gwenyth Paltrow's an often favorite target.

I think Wilde's cute, and would make a great Lois Lane, but Jolt17's got the right idea. Zooey Deschanel needs to play Harley Quinn (or at least Sandi Brandenberg in a Deadpool movie; she would so fit in that film.).

Everyone, come visit my Excalibur fancast

Olivia Wilde, Emily Blunt or Rachel McAdams is cool with me. Have you guys seen State Of Play? Rachel McAdams plays a reporter in the movie, she would make a great Louis Lane. Good flick too.

I really liked the idea of Anne Hathaway...oh well if one of the following is selected for Lois, I will be happy.
-Olivia Wilde, Evangeline Lily, Odette Yustmen, Jessica Stroup or how about some Ashley Green...

Rachel McAdams or Olivia Wilde would both be excellent choices as far as I'm concerned. It seems that McAdams has a very good chance of landing the role. If rumors are to be believed that is.

Oh yeah, I'm a first time caller long time listener poster.

Not a bad choice, but I just don't really see her as Lois.

I'm coo' wit' this cast or wit' McAdams.. Hell, I'd even take Kate Beckinsale. Any one of those females would be just fine wit' me, although I'd prefer Beckinsale as Selina Kyle... but oh, well. I trust Nolan. I have a feelin' this Supes flick is gonna be mad tight. Just a hunch.. lol.

I would actually like to know how many women actually did a screening for the part. It'd probably be something they tell us after the actress is chosen though.

Did you know Olivia's real surname is Cockburn! Sounds very appropriate to me, she should have stuck with it!

Christopher Nolan? Zack Snyder? Henry Cavill? And now, probably Olvia Wilde? It's like there looking at fanboy forums for suggestions, aren't they. THis is the Fanboy requested superman. I'm worried it probably won't work.

interesting. Well If they are looking for eye candy I would definitely go with Olivia Wild. She has the looks and she's not to bad as an actress either.

however, a few of the people that I think would be cool to see in this film would be:
1. Natalie Portman-I can dig her acting capabilities, (definitely above average) and I think she has a new generation lois Lane look. She's had experience in movies with special effects. She was also cast as a female lead in Thor.

2. Milla Jovovich- I can see her in the role of Lois Lane. She also has plenty of experience as an actress, especially in movies that deal heavily with special effects. Not to mention that she is the one supreme being.

3. Lena Heady-She's worked with Zack Snyder before which would make the filmmaking process a little bit easier. Not to mention Zack that the role she played was Queen Gorgo in 300. So not only does she have experience working with Snyder but also experience working with him as the lead actress.

4. Maggie Gyllenhal-I don't see what the big deal is with her. I loved her in "The Dark Knight" and I think that she is a decently talented actress. She also has experience as the lead female role in a comic book movie. i think she has a classic beautiful woman look to her, which with the way movies are cast these days would be refreshing to see and perfect for the role of Lois Lane.


Sorry for the list, I tend to think to much on things. This is just my list by the way, I have no clue what Zack Snyder is gonna do.

1. McAdams
2. Wilde

commanderhulk: Zooey Deschanel would be awesome too, but I'm afraid people look at her as too indie.
