Here’s some news hot off the press! Hero Complex has just released the news that Amy Adams has been cast to play Lois Lane opposite British actor Henry Cavill in the new version of the Superman movie.
According to the online paper, Adams found out the news from director Zack Snyder (who is currently touring globe for his new movie, Sucker Punch) from Paris.
“There was a big, giant search for Lois,” Snyder said. “For us it was a big thing and obviously a really important role. We did a lot of auditioning but we had this meeting with Amy Adams and after that I just felt she was perfect for it.
It goes back to what I’ve said about Superman and making him really understandable for today. What’s important to us is making him relevant and real and making him empathetic to today’s audience so that we understand the decisions he makes. That applies to Lois as well. She has to be in the same universe as him [in tone and substance].”
More info as we get it but please let us know what you think about the casting. From what I’m seeing on Twitter, people are loving the choice!
