The Official Lois Lane Casting & Discussion Thread

[romeogbs19]

Yeah, I didn't quite vibe with the "Stalker" Superman either, peering through their window, sneaking in the house, it was all a little...weird, at least for me.

But really, Lois, and by extension, Bosworth's portrayal of her were the elements that brought the whole movie down for me, because a lot of it I really liked.

The action sequences (the few that were there) I enjoyed. I thought Spacey was good. I didn't even mind the suit as much as I did initially. But I just couldn't get into Kate, and without that, the whole crux of the film just fell apart, because so much was placed on it.

I didn't believe they were in love, and I definitely didn't feel any chemistry between her and Marsden. With so much emphasis on this love triangle, having someone come across so cold was the deathblow for my overall enjoyment.

100% agree with this. While Lois is always cast based on who they get for Superman/Clark, the actress who plays her is so critically important. Bosworth dragged down SR (and let's be honest, a lot of that fault lies with the scriptwriters and the casting directors).

I was reminded how important Lois is in the story when I saw DC's animated Death/Return of Superman movie. There, Lois becomes the link we are so used to seeing between Superman and Clark. She is his humanity and he relies on her as much as she him. When that relationship is broken (which is what Singer did), the appeal of the Superman story is destroyed.

Presuming McAdams has the chemistry, I like her in this role. She is older (4-5 years, right?) but if we only get one Superman movie due to all the copyright mess, I want one I can watch over and over again. I just think McAdams and Cavill would do Superman/Clark/Lois great justice.

I also think the onscreen chemistry between Cavill and McAdams would be on point!

At least I'm hoping it is. Her schedule is clear, so if she is due to screentest with Cavill soon....I hope she nails it and wins the role!

[Micah12345]

I actually liked superman returns when I saw it in theaters. That was before I became a superman fan though. I tried to watch it again recently and I couldn't even make it all the way through. It was hard to find things I liked about it.

[Zachhelms]

I think they'll cast an American actress, because of some people who are complaining about Cavill being British, and so it's gonna be a more popular actress, not a completely unknown.

From the rumours, I think the best choice is Mary Elizabeth Winstead. She is American, quite well-known, talented, she has the look and makes a beautiful couple with Cavill.

Biel is pretty, but I don't think she "matches" Cavill. McAdams and Lilly would be great, but they have a quite large age difference and they are Canadians.

I really don't believe they'll cast another British in a main role, so Blunt or Knightley are out of question.

Kristens (Stewart and Bell)...no comments...

Please Snyder, Nolan and WB, look at Mary Winstead!

http://i609.photobucket.com/albums/tt174/Ursa_album/0016.jpg

Please Snyder, Nolan, and Wb, DON'T. I'd rather have have Leighton rather then her.

[Frodo]

I'd be fine with Biel or McAdams if they are indeed even in the running. I'm trusting Synder and Nolan's judgement on the issue.

[DorkyFresh]

And what's your official source on that?

here's where i'm getting that info...
http://www.**************.com/fansites/mrdcuniverse/news/?a=25467

...while it's not the official synopsis that IS the description that was pulled from the audition site and i don't see why they would give that type of a description if they weren't planning on making a film with similar content. on top of that, it falls right in line with numerous rumors about the script being inspired by Birthright.

None of us know that for sure. You're just going off what some "insiders" reported.
true, but if the recent reports about Kristen Stewart and Dianna Agron are true then it would mean they're open to younger actresses...which would indicate that Lois MIGHT not (please note that i used "MIGHT not" instead of "WILL not") be as seasoned in this movie as she's usually portrayed.

The only official word we have is the one from Nolan's LA Times interview, and there he made it abundantly clear this was not an origin story. That's all we know for certain.
i know he doesn't call it a "reboot" (even though it IS) but i never saw any reports where he specifically mentioned that it wasn't an origin story.

That Snyder cast a 27 year-old further makes it unlikely this is the "beginning" of Superman.
if he cast a 30 year old i would agree with you, but Cavill could easily pass for 24.

[Zachhelms]

What Lois needs are...
1. Good acting ability.
2. Looks
3. Good chemistry with Cavill
4. Open schedule
5. Large Fan-base

I think Rachel McAdams fits that perfectly.
Shes a great actress, she very attractive but not too attractive. She can be a b****, as we saw in Mean Girls. She has an open schedule. She has a large fanbase on here, plus a large female fanbase from Mean Girls, Notebook, and Time Travelers Wife. So it would plus us, then bring in female viewers, making the film a success int he box office leading to sequels!

Just another reason why she is such a great choice.

[The Shield]

Plus (and i say it again) she's short (5'5") making movie magic happen when she stands next to Cavill. And poof he appears 6'4" . lol

I have no issues with his height btw

[Ursa]

I'd be fine with Winstead or McAdams.

[The Watchman]

I don't buy that list at all, there may be some validity to it, but we're not getting the entire picture. Quite honestly I think the part was Natalie Portmans but the pregnancy changed everything. Of the list Rachel McAdams is the only viable option. I still think we'll get someone not on the list, namely Olivia Wilde, but I have been wrong...once.

[CGHulk]

Sienna Miller! Damn gorgeous and a fine actress!!

Natilie Portman was my #1. She would have been perfect. However, she can't now, so the best choices in my opinon are Rachel McAdams, Olivia Wilde, and Evangeline Lilly.

The alright ones are Mila Kunis, Emily Blunt, and Jessica Stroup.

The worst are Kristen Bell, Mary Winstead, Kristen Stewart, Abbie Cornish, Leighton Meester, and Camilla Belle.

[DIRECTOR]

Not to mention...McAdams played a reporter in State of Play...which is a very solid flick.
i didn't find her performance as a report in the "State of Play" all that special

[Zachhelms]

Why?

Mainy reasons. I hate her look. Not Lois at all. Also her acting abilities are not good enough. Out of all the other suggestions for Lois, I can't understand this one, IMO. Not trying to sound rude or anything but I'd rather have Kristen Bell get the part. And I think Kristen would be a terrible Lois...

[DorkyFresh]

i'm starting to warm up to the idea of McAdams, if only because she's the best choice off that list....by far.

[Zachhelms]

i didn't find her performance as a report in the "State of Play" all that special

From the parts I have seen of that movie, her character in that movie is completely different from Lois.

I think she could pull off the aggressive, kick-*** Lois.

[Doc Samson]

From the parts I have seen of that movie, her character in that movie is completely different from Lois.

I actually think her work in Morning Glory is a better example for this part. She displays a toughness and grit, while still being charming and sweet.

[The Watchman]

I actually think her work in the Hot Chick is a better example, she really sold me on Rob Schneider inhabiting her body....

[DIRECTOR]

am, I think you got the wrong actress, you are talking about Anna Feris.

McAdams was in Mean Girls

[DorkyFresh]

Who is your #1 choice for the part?
currently it's Jessica Stroup...probably with Alison Brie as number 2. the 2 main reasons i'm not gung-ho for McAdams is because she's 5 years older than Cavill (though she doesn't look 32) and i'm just tired of seeing her name for every female character under the comic book sun. i also don't find her very memorable in her roles. i'd like to see someone with a more unique personality take the role.....which is why i don't care for the likes of MEW, Blunt, and Biel.

[Majik1387]

i don't mind her, if we can see her in black hair
GI Joe

[Doc Samson]

I actually think her work in the Hot Chick is a better example, she really sold me on Rob Schneider inhabiting her body....

I'ma have to catch a glimpse of that. The main quality of hers that I think lends itself to this role is her spunk. In the work that calls for it, she can naturally be energetic and full of energy, without being quirky or weird, honestly she seems spunky like that in real life

[Zachhelms]

I actually think her work in Morning Glory is a better example for this part. She displays a toughness and grit, while still being charming and sweet.

Ehhh, if casted as Lois(fingers crossed), I hope she channels her inner Regina from Mean Girls. I don't want the meanness, but the aggression and determination. If she mixes her performance in Morning Glory with her performance in Mean Girls, then she'd be a perfect Lois.

McAdams is the best choice out of those choices though but I wouldn't be up in arms about Biel.

I think it could be Biel because she was on that Catwoman list and it seems like a discision that the WB would make. But I wouldn't be surprised if they went with someone five years younger than Cavill. Look at the other superhero pairings.

Anne Hathaway is 8 or so years younger than Bale

Emma Stone is like 5 years younger than Garfield

Blake Lively is like a decade younger than Ryan Reynolds

Most of the time they seem to like the actress to be younger than the guy for some reason so I wouldn't be surprised if they got a 22 to 24 year old for the role.

[Keyser Soze]

A rather underwhelming shortlist, if true. Rachel MacAdams is probably the best of a weak bunch.

Lets not give Megan Fox more credit then she deserves.

Which movie has Jessica actually done well in?

[birdgirl]

How I'm the only onw who's suggested Cobie Smulders astounds me.

*points to everyone in the thread*

Shame on you. Shame on all of you. :o

Hey - I seconded your Smulders motion! It just got lost in the rush of McAdams posts. I think McAdams is too sweet looking and forgettable, but I could deal if she were cast.

[Keyser Soze]

Megan Fox could have played that role in Black Swan and did it as well as Kunis did IMHO.

I disagree. Mila Kunis had a deceptively challenging role, as she essentially has to play two performances at once. One as the innocent, well-intentioned friendly girl who the character probably actually is, and one as the conniving, scheming skank that Natalie Portman's character conceives her as being. She has to simultaneously be convincing as both personas, as her opinion of her character sways back and forth.

Our taste in actresses are pretty different.

I like Stroup a lot though I can't say anything about her acting.
Alison Brie is way to innocent to be Lois in my opinion.
Rebecca Hall is not nearly attractive and even if she was more striking, her looks don't fit.

4.Yes
5.Yes

IMO.

[DorkyFresh]

Our taste in actresses are pretty different.
s'all good

I like Stroup a lot though I can't say anything about her acting
i've seen enough clips of her to know that she can hold her own...and she demands attention when she's on the screen.

Alison Brie is way to innocent to be Lois in my opinion.
you'd be surprised, she often does racy photo shoots and her character in Mad Men has shown hints of darkness. she's also done a brief comic skit (floating somewhere on the web) where she proposes a bunch of sexual fetishes to an agency of some sort.

Rebecca Hall is not nearly attractive and even if she was more striking, her looks don't fit.
i think she fits the mold of Lois pretty well. she's not drop dead gorgeous but i find her unconventionally attractive. she's not the most charismatic actress, but she always does a great job in her roles.

[Jake Cassidy]

Megan Fox could have played that role in Black Swan and did it as well as Kunis did IMHO.

And to her credit she pulled it off wonderfully. But also to be fair, it was Darren and Natalie that gave her the opportunity to flex those acting muscles. Before this movie Mila was not considered the type of actress that could or would pull it off. Until Fox or any other actor considered to be bottom tier, is given good material, I don't think they should be concretely written off.

Jesse and Mila's performances this year proved with the right direction, actors can break out of their shells.

[I SEE SPIDEY]

What did Mila do that was so very special in Black Swan?

[Zachhelms]

What did Mila do that was so very special in Black Swan?

Her performance overall was just really good. She was believable and unlike many other actresses, she is not a just a line reader.

[Jake Cassidy]

What do you mean by 'script writer'?

[DorkyFresh]

What did Mila do that was so very special in Black Swan?

personally, i don't think she was as great as everyone makes her out to be. she wasn't exceptional, but she played her role well and gave the movie some much needed personality. she (and Portman) also worked her @$$ off (quite literally) to portray convincing ballet dancers.

[WarriorDreamer]

I agree with pretty much everything Dorkyfresh says, whatever he says, I'll go along with.

McAdams... I just don't know what to think of her. She obviously seems to be the most popular choice on this board. But a 5 year age gap?

People need to remember when Chris Reeve and Morgot Kidder hooked up and how many people complained about her looks.
Especially in the 3rd and 4th movies.... However she was only 4 years older.

Not saying McAdams wont look gorgeous when she's 39 but I would rather start younger than that.

[Zachhelms]

What do you mean by 'script writer'?

Line reader, my bad.

[DorkyFresh]

I agree with pretty much everything Dorkyfresh says, whatever he says, I'll go along with.

:up: yeh...i've noticed that our opinions on Lois are pretty similar.

"Did we just become best friends??" - Step Brothers

[Jake Cassidy]

Cool, Zach.


I've always pictured Lois as being a little older than Clark.

[WarriorDreamer]

"Did we just become best friends??" - Step Brothers


I'll add you. :yay:

I understand where you're coming from but honestly, she is aging great and looks around the same age as Cavill.

People need to remember when Chris Reeve and Morgot Kidder hooked up and how many people complained about her looks.
Especially in the 3rd and 4th movies.... However she was only 4 years older.
Great point. But look at Kidder. She started out 30 in the first film but look around 35. She's not a great example simply because she didn't look young like McAdam's does now.

[Excel]

Olivia Wilde would work too.

If theyre going the super commercial route..

[SuperDaniel]

I understand where you're coming from but honestly, she is aging great and looks around the same age as Cavill.


Great point. But look at Kidder. She started out 30 in the first film but look around 35. She's not a great example simply because she didn't look young like McAdam's does now.
And she was ugly as ****!!!

[Project862006]

i did'nt think mila was anything special in black swan either she did good coming from that 70's show

just like ashton did good in butterfly effect

both did good when seeing where they came from

[terry78]

I'll add you. :yay:

And then start dressing like him.


:awesome:

[Doctor Jones]

McAdams seems like the best fit for me. Not only is she good looking and has that sexuality, she's also firm and carries herself well. She's a good balance of what Lois should be.

[Majik1387]

Book of Eli and Black Swan both showed me Kunis is not some throwaway actress.

[Marx]

I have a hard time seeing Kunis as Lois Lane.

[Doctor Jones]

Same here. I want a mature and good looking Lois. After we god Kidder and Bosworth, we deserve better. McAdams just covers all bases.

Her chances are quite good. But the rest of that list sucks. I don't mind Biel, but she ain't no Lois.

[Majik1387]

I don't see how Kunis isn't mature or good looking. :huh:

[SuperZer0]

I wouldn't mind McAdams if this was just one movie and there are no future sequels. I am concerned with her age, if they were to release a sequel say, every 3 years. That means she'll be 39 when the third one comes out. I think ideally the actress should be around the same age as Cavill or a year older max, or a year younger. We can't really know how well she will age as she gets older.

[RakuMon]

i don't mind her, if we can see her in black hair

If you've seen G.I. Joe, you've seen Sienna Miller with black hair:

Honestly, I don't mind Rachel McAdams for Lois. She's a great actress and if you want to see her as the determined newspaper reporter type, you should check her out in State of Play where she plays a blogger who works with investigative reporter Russel Crowe to uncover a congressman's sex scandal.

She's on my shortlist for sure. I'm still wishing Rashida Jones or Zooey Deschanel get considered for the part.

[Jake Cassidy]

Yes!!!! Please, please, please, please happen.

[batman44]

Yes Please!!!

[Sawyer]

Ugh.

[KRIM]

Not my ideal pick, but if she earns the role by topping the other candidates through auditions, I'll be optimistic. I only wish she could look as hot as she does in magazine shoots.

[DorkyFresh]

thanks for that Jamie...

...i'd rather see McAdams than Wilde. Wilde's too sexy. Lois should be an attractive lady, but not necessarily a sexy siren like Wilde is.

[Majik1387]

So Wilde and McAdams are definitely in the running. Cool. :up:

[Jake Cassidy]

Either 1 would be great, but I'd prefer Wilde.

[Majik1387]

I personally prefer Wilde of the two as well.

[Project862006]

wilde looks exactly like lois she is sexy yet mature looking at the same time

[RakuMon]

thanks for that Jamie...

...i'd rather see McAdams than Wilde. Wilde's too sexy. Lois should be an attractive lady, but not necessarily a sexy siren like Wilde is.

I get what you mean. To be honest, I was hoping Olivia Wilde would get the Catwoman role. (While I support Anne Hathaway for Selina, I think she's more in the mold of Lois).

Wouldn't it be ironic then if Olivia Wilde is cast as Lois Lane? It would be like Nolan got his iconic DC women backwards.

[SuperZer0]

Let the Wilde Hype begin!

[flickchick85]

I disagree. Mila Kunis had a deceptively challenging role, as she essentially has to play two performances at once. One as the innocent, well-intentioned friendly girl who the character probably actually is, and one as the conniving, scheming skank that Natalie Portman's character conceives her as being. She has to simultaneously be convincing as both personas, as her opinion of her character sways back and forth.
Bingo. Not only did she have to inject some life into a character that was barely there on paper, but after multiple viewings, I'd say she also served as the "reality barometer" of the film, which involved walking some very fine lines in a few parts, but I thought she nailed it. It was a subtly impressive performance, imo. No way could Megan Fox have pulled that off as well.

Between Book of Eli and Black Swan in 2010, I'm actually becoming a fan of Kunis. Never thought I'd say that, as I used to just find her dreadfully annoying thanks to her TV shows. But now I think she's one to watch.

[Jake Cassidy]

Just the possibility of Olivia playing Lois has made my day. If it actually happens I'll lose my mind.

I don't know about Wilde as Lois, never thought about her in the role...

[SuperDaniel]

oh yeah! Wilde would be great!

Just imagine Cavill and Wilde?

*faints*

[flickchick85]

Wow, I hope McAdams and Wilde really are the two finalists, because I think either one would be a good choice. :up:

[terry78]

HenLivia. :awesome:

I know! It's funny, because when I first came to the Hype, I found myself disagreeing with you most of the time. But now we seem to agree on almost everything. So either one of has gotten wiser or dumber over the years...or we've both just gotten wiser. I choose to believe it's the latter. :woot:

[Jake Cassidy]

HenLivia. :awesome:

You're a nutter. I love it. :woot:

[MessiahDecoy123]

Wilde would be good. If I can't have her as Catwoman I'll take her as Lois Lane.

[Spider-Fan]

Wilde is not an engaging actress to me. In House, 13 kind of seems to have forced chemistry with the group, as opposed to natural and in Tron Legacy, the character lacked soul and chemistry with the main star. I see this as a pattern, so I'd rather the superior actress, McAdams, get it.

It'd be more predictable with Olivia as Selina and Anne as Lois. It's far more interesting the other way. Any other filmmaker would've got Oldman as Ra's and Neeson as Gordon. :yay:

[combocaz]

Any word on wether emily blunt tried out???

[Majik1387]

So far, the only 2 actresses confirmed to have been in talks are Olivia Wilde and Rachel McAdams

Olivia Wilde really needs to happen.:cmad:

[Bruce_Begins]

NO TO JESSICA BIEL !!

I would prefer someone like Zooey Deschanel -

Zooey Deschanel
Date of Birth. 17 January 1980,
Height. 5' 6" (1.68 m).

Some of her movies -

(500) Days of Summer, Bridge to Terabithia

The 2 best choices. So, either way, we win. :woot:

[Spider-Fan]

Wilde is hot, yes, but not that great. She's okay by film acting standards. McAdams is the better choice.

[The Sage]

Gonna have to say no to Zooey. Not too fond of her look and she reminds me of Margot Kidder.

Olivia Wilde really needs to happen.:cmad:

I don't know buddy. She's a solid actress without question, but as Lois Lane?

[Majik1387]

Both are definitely in my top 5 but McAdams is at the bottom of that 5 for me.

[samsnee]

Olivia Wilde is way too thin to be Lois Lane. She needs to put on some lbs.

[Jake Cassidy]

Wilde is hot, yes, but not that great. She's okay by film acting standards. McAdams is the better choice.

OK, let me rephrase. Either way, I'd be happy. :woot:

[Spider-Fan]

I know I will be in the minority if they cast Wilde, cause to me, she is all fanboy hype and not all that talented. She doesn't suck, but she is clearly not the best choice.

[Bruce_Begins]

I think that Zooey Deschanel deserves to be considered.

http://img49.imageshack.us/img49/1819/zd86ry.jpg

[Jake Cassidy]

That's alright, Spider-Fan. It doesn't matter who gets cast, some of us aren't gonna like it. It happens with every single character, except maybe Professor X.

[DIRECTOR]

please no to Olivia Wilde

[JP]

All about Wilde. Unless Blunt and Zooey are suddenly in the running.

[TheRedRanger]

Wilde would be awesome!! She's fun to look at:awesome:

[Rowsdower!]

I'd be very happy with Wilde or McAdams. I'm still hoping for Blunt, but either of them would be great as well.

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3486/3759031413_28a545e605.jpghttp://www.latinoreview.com/images/stories/OliviaWilde-photo.jpg

If she is cast, this may end up being the best looking superhero couple of all time.

[DoomGeneration]

I like Olivia Wilde. I'm somewhat concened about rachael mcadam's age in the long run. But they need to dull Olivia up a bit, even by Hollywood standards she's a little too good looking for Lois.

[Majik1387]

If she is cast, this may end up being the best looking superhero couple of all time.
Hahaha so true. :up:

[combocaz]

come on emily blunt, audition for the part dammit.

But either McAdams or Wilde ill be happy with.

Totally! I'm not against Wilde as Lois. You're absolutely right that Nolan has cast against type in the past to great results, so I completely trust their instincts.

It's just interesting that Hathaway and Wilde (if it turns out to be her) would be in the opposite roles that, as you said, most would predict they'd be in.

[Project862006]

she has the perfect combo of beauty and strength in her facial features

[SuperDaniel]

If I was Superman, I would be in love with her. Wait... I already am! :D

[Jake Cassidy]

Olivia has the spunkiness, intelligence and toughness.

[KRIM]

What roles has she done displaying spunkiness?

[TheRedRanger]

Olivia Wilde is 2nd on my list right behind Jessica Stroup... I love pretty eyes:awesome:

[combocaz]

Wilde's forehead bugs me though, she may need a fringe or something so it doesnt stand out so much.

[Majik1387]

Oy, forehead complaints already? Isn't it too soon for that. There's numerous hairstyles one can have to take care of it.

[DorkyFresh]

I know I will be in the minority if they cast Wilde, cause to me, she is all fanboy hype and not all that talented. She doesn't suck, but she is clearly not the best choice.
i'm with you on this. she's hot for sure...but she doesn't impress me as an actress.

What roles has she done displaying spunkiness?
that's what i'm wondering.

[Jake Cassidy]

I was talking about her real life personality, based off of interviews I've read and seen.

[DarkKnight FTW]

Well, Zack Snyder is a fanboy so there you go! I don't have a problem with it. I'm for her, Evangeline, or Alison Brie.

[jmc]

Now Wilde is added to the list? The mediocrity continues.

[Project862006]

whats wrong with Olivia?

she is a solid actress ,gorgeous ,and looks like Lois

pretty much the opposite of Bosworth

[RachelDawes]

Now Wilde is added to the list? The mediocrity continues.

McAdams is mediocre?

[jmc]

She's an average actress at best, not even close to solid.

[jmc]

McAdams is mediocre?

She's the best of the bunch, but she's still nothing remarkable.

[Spider-Fan]

Totally disagree. McAdams is a solid actress.

[DorkyFresh]

hey WB and Snyder....please look into giving this girl a shot!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/Geijutsuka/SHH%20stuff/Casting/mandy-moore-007.jpg

[jmc]

I'd use the word capable, she's never blown me away with her peformances.

[RakuMon]

I've been a fan of McAdams as an actress but never considered her for Lois until I saw her turn in State of Play. Like I posted earlier, if you have doubts about McAdams as Lois, you need to watch her in that movie.

[RachelDawes]

She's the best of the bunch, but she's still nothing remarkable.

[DorkyFresh]

yup

[jmc]

Someone who's better than average, don't care if it's some indie actress or an A-lister, none of these girls are right.

[Majik1387]

A good majority of the thread disagree.

[Project862006]

damn jmc you could'nt even offer a suggestion to back up your claims

[Spider-Fan]

State of Play would be a reason I'm for her as Lois. She was very good in that film, though I'd want her Lois to be much more firm than that character was (though she was far from frail in that film).

[grabmygladys]

Yeah jmc give us a name or two.

[DorkyFresh]

damn jmc you could'nt even offer a suggestion to back up your claims
it's easy to know what you DON'T want.....it's harder to know what you DO want...

[Rowsdower!]

yup

I liked her in Saved! but... come on, really?

[jmc]

Feel free to disagree, I don't really care, none of these girls have shown me anything other than 'ok'.

[grabmygladys]

Someon who feels so strongly about the subject should have an inkling of an idea what he wants.

[grabmygladys]

It could be worse we could be stuck with Horseface Hathaway.

[Spider-Fan]

On the Mandy Moore suggestion, good actress but not Lois. Mandy Moore has become talented in recent years (see Saved!), but I don't see her as Lois. She seems too nice. Even in Saved!, while a bad person, she came off as a sweetheart. She is always the sweetheart. I don't see Lois.

[FlawlessVictory]

Feel free to disagree, I don't really care, none of these girls have shown me anything other than 'ok'.

That's fine but who do you suggest then?

[Rowsdower!]

Joseph Gordon Leavitt for Lois Lane! Everybody thinks he's a great actor, right?

[DorkyFresh]

I liked her in Saved! but... come on, really?
she's not exactly the tough as nails type but at this point, with all the names being listed...i think i'd rather see Mandy than any of those names.

true she's a real sweetheart and not exactly the aggressive type but it really depends on how they write the character. if they write her in scenes where she's supposed to be pushing for an interview then she'll act accordingly....but she's very likable and she looks more like Lois than most of the women being discussed lately. as i said, in light of recent rumors and names being brought up, i'd rather see her than most of the ladies being discussed.

besides, her and Cavill would look SMASHING together.

[jmc]

damn jmc you could'nt even offer a suggestion to back up your claims

Someone suggested Missy Peregrym a few pages back, that girl has got the talent but she won't get a look in so it's pointless bringing her name up.

[MechaOrga]

Throwing my vote for Wilde as far as who's on the list.Young and still looks like a woman that could take care of herself.

Her career is heating up and this is the next logical step: Big franchise.

they'll sign her for three pictures and get her while she's cheap.

[storyteller]

Does Lois Lane need to be white? I mean I get comic book accuracy and I'm not saying get a black person just to have racial diversity. But I don't think being white really has to define Lois. Also I think they need to cast an actress with some meat on her. Bosworth left a bad skinny taste in my mouth.

[hame4479]

According to latinoreview Ms. Wilde also screentested along with the other candidates mentioned and all i can say is please god give the role to her. Out of everyone mentioned I feel that she is not only the most beautiful, but she also has the most mesmerizing screen presence and can actually act. She was one of the more exciting things about tron for me. NOt to mention she is tiny and will make Cavill look well, larger and more imposing. Give the role to that goddess of a women please.

[spiderfan970]

My main pic is Mary Elizabeth Winstead. She can totally do it.

It's great to envision an idealized world where everyone is colorblind, but that's not how it works. Being white is as part of her iconography as the black hair, thin frame, and pretty face.

Didn't we already try this,cough Beyonce cough. Yes preferably the actress that is chosen would resemble the Lois from the books of almost 80 years.

Beyonce is a horrible actress but there are plenty of black actresses (and actresses of other ethnicities) that could play the part. I think Paula Patton would make a GREAT Lois Lane.

[Majik1387]

According to latinoreview Ms. Wilde also screentested along with the other candidates mentioned
Don't misread Latinoreview, the only candidate they confirmed that also tested was McAdams, not the others.


As for Lois' race. White, with maybe a little Latin thrown in. She's been drawn and colored to be tan every so often.

I agree that Lois' ethnicity is not essential to her characterization. That's why I think Rashida Jones would be an excellent choice for Lois. Someone mentioned the Lois Lane iconography, and I think Rashida meets each of those criterion. She just happens to be a person of color.

[Changeling]

McAdams or Wilde ftw

Wb won't risk casting someone who's obviously ethnic. there's already a lot of buzz because Cavill isn't American, what more if one of the main characters isn't Caucasian?

My main pic is Mary Elizabeth Winstead. She can totally do it.
i have my doubts about MEW. she often comes off as dull.

Well they said that it isn't official and that they can't comment on the source. but according to their source Wilde did actually screentest for the role. Ill take it with a grain of salt but they arent normally very misleading with their reports sooooo.....We will C.

[Dark Knight]

I would be happy with either McAdams or Wilde as Lois.

It’s going to come down to who has the best chemistry with Cavill during the screen tests basically.

I wish them both good luck and may the better actress and best Lois Lane win!

[Frodo]

Wilde would be cool.

[Rowsdower!]

I don't know who that is.

Heh, you're not the only one. :woot:

[Zachhelms]

It is basically, Olivia Wilde vs. Rachel McAdams at this point, well as far as we know at least. Personally, I think Rachel McAdams fits the bill far better. Looks, Acting ability, and Fan Base. I think she'd be great.

But if Olivia Wilde is announced tomorrow as Lois, I will be super exited. She's a great choice too.


-Fingers crossed for Rachel-

[Sawyer]

It's adorable how people still think McAdams is a viable option.

[Rowsdower!]

It's adorable how people still think McAdams is a viable option.

Why wouldn't she be? Just because of her age?

No, I just cant see her doing it. She's turned down a buttload of comic book movies already, I doubt this will be different.

[BigA]

This is Cobie Smulders. She is on that show with Neil Patrick Harris, "How I Met Your Mother."

She has? Which ones? She did Sherlock Holmes, so she doesn't seem to be that much of a snob to me when it comes to this kind of stuff.

[WarriorDreamer]

If people got together every single casting suggestion for Lois Lane ever made which one do you think is the most popular out of the lot?

For a while I thought it was Anne Hathaway, her name came up the most. Now it's Rachel McAdams.

If it is really Rachel vs Olivia I think I'll take Olivia and be happy.

[DorkyFresh]

what about Summer Glau? any takers? i certainly wouldn't mind seeing her as Lois.

edit: i just realized i haven't seen her in much so i don't REALLY know how she acts. guess i'm just throwing names out there since i'm not crazy about any of the ones on the rumored list.

[BigA]

I would be on board with Mandy Moore.

[SuperDaniel]

I think we should foccus on the ones rumored for the part instead of bringing new names. Olivia and McAdams, for example. I havent seen Wilde anywhere. Which movies did she do?

[WarriorDreamer]

Yeah my question was, who was the most popular choice EVER?

Btw, does anyone know if Kate Mara would have the acting chops for Lois?

She's around the right age and has a kind of spunky sexy look about her. I heard she was a real firecracker in real life too.

OliviaWilde-photo.jpg (http://www.latinoreview.com/images/stories/OliviaWilde-photo.jpg)

Geez, Wilde needs to like eat a burger or something. There's no way I'd see her as Lois with a figure that thin. Also what's the attraction to Wilde? I just don't see it. I don't really see it with McAdams either, for that matter, but I'd rather take McAdams over Wilde.

IMO whoever plays Lois should look smart/intelligent and most of the names being suggested just don't have that quality and look like women that coasted through life on their looks, as opposed to determination.

[DorkyFresh]

Yeah my question was, who was the most popular choice EVER?

maybe Sandra Bullock or Evangeline Lilly.

Btw, does anyone know if Kate Mara would have the acting chops for Lois?

She's around the right age and has a kind of spunky sexy look about her. I heard she was a real firecracker in real life too.
i saw her first in Shooter, then 127 Hours, and then Brokeback Mountain. i'm not really impressed with her. she's okay, but more than anything i don't care for her look. nothing about her visual strikes me as Lois Lane. she'd be a better Lana Lang.

[Astrodust]

If it was down to Wilde or McAdams, I'd be happy with either. It's gonna be about chemistry.

[Rowsdower!]

I would be on board Mandy Moore.

Mandy Moore has a baby voice. even more then Natalie Portman from the last 10 years.

[JP]

Mandy Moore? Not a chance in hell.

[dark_b]

checks youtube.

ok maybe not the voice but they way she talks. its like she thinks she is 9 years old.

[dark_b]

i think Wilde is to skinny. but they way she acts in her roles is good for Lois. there is something in her eyes and voice that would work.

i would like her . its I SEE SPIDEEY fault because she started it with WIlde. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

you're probably right, but still....a man can express a dream.

checks youtube.

ok maybe not the voice but they way she talks. its like she thinks she is 9 years old.
i got that a bit from her as well, but she's visually the closest to what i think Lois should look like and she's a pretty talented actress and i'm sure that if her character is written well she would refrain from going to her 9 year old type mannerisms and expressions.

edit: you were right about her voice though. she's got a girly voice. i'd still take her over the likes of Wilde though. she's got more on-screen charisma and delivers her lines more naturally. Wilde just kinda stares at her co-stars and delivers the lines pretty straightforward.

That Snyder cast a 27 year-old further makes it unlikely this is the "beginning" of Superman.

Why?

According to the mythology, 27 was the age Clark Kent was when he become superman.

This is Cobie Smulders. She is on that show with Neil Patrick Harris, "How I Met Your Mother."

This girl has a great 'Lois' look and I could easily imagine her onscreen playing against Cavill. Good choice

[hugekent]

I think Cobie Smulders is gorgeous but I'm very doubtful she'll ever be cast in any of these comic book roles.

Mandy Moore looks great as well but she is very girly looking and sounding and she isn't a good enough actress to hide this fact.

[Lencho01]

Just looked at IMDb's Fresh Faces to see if I'd find anyone that looked like they could be Lois. I know nothing of their acting skills, but these women stuck out to me as possibilities depending on what they want the character to be like...

Yep, seems like there's about as much chance of a lesser known actress getting a look in as there is the Pope becoming an atheist. Looks as if they're going for a named actress.

[djkris]

Cobie Smulders - great choice. She looks like someone who could stand next to Superman. Notice how she has similar colors to Cavill - the eyes, the hair... Plus, she looks like someone who wouldn't bother with Clark Kent at first but eventually you can picture them together.

Fanboys got Cavill as Superman, so who knows. Too bad that she is not mentioned that much...

[jmc]

Cobie would be an interesting choice, she's definitely got a more Lois vibe than those who have been mentioned so far. I just think this Lois Lane role would be the perfect opportunity to give some lesser known actress a shot, this list that's floating around feels like they're trying to find someone with some sort of name first and foremost and not trying to find a Lois Lane.

[Jake Cassidy]

Maybe they're looking for the person they believe to be right for it. If some people disagree with the final decision, who cares? Our opinions don't matter.

[jmc]

I'll put money on it they're looking at names first and foremost.

[Lencho01]

Are those women even that big of a draw or would have much of an effect? With Cavill's looks, I'd say they're pretty set on attracting female viewers.

[Jake Cassidy]

I'll put money on it they're looking at names first and foremost.

So? As long as they get someone good, it doesn't matter.

[Jake Cassidy]

No. None of the names mentioned lately are that well known. McAdams and Biel are probably the most well known, but even then they're not that big.

[Lencho01]

So, they'd be fine finding an unknown that fits the role more than the usual suspects who are always named in casting speculation.

[jmc]

It's not really about them being a big draw, but it's a helpful selling point. It's a name, more than Cavill's.

[SuperDaniel]

I think they will get names for Luthor, Perry White, Pa and Ma Kent, etc.

[jmc]

So? As long as they get someone good, it doesn't matter.

The list isn't exactly on the good side.

[Jake Cassidy]

Names. Unknowns. I don't care, as long as they're good.

[jmc]

I think they will get names for Luthor, Perry White, Pa and Ma Kent, etc.

Who ever the villain is I think will be a pretty big name.

[herolee10]

Does anyone have a good idea as to WHEN we can expect them to make an announcement regarding the casting of Lois Lane?

[Jake Cassidy]

The list isn't exactly on the good side.

I never said it was. That could be complete ******** for all I know. I could be someone who hasn't been mentioned at all.

[jmc]

I'm hoping it is.

[Lencho01]

The villain will probably be the biggest name.

I'd say if Star Trek can do well with unknown to fairly known actors, Superman should be fine too.

[herolee10]

The villain will probably be the biggest name.

I'd say if Star Trek can do well with unknown to fairly known actors, Superman should be fine too.

The thing is though that Star Trek has a been large fan base so regardless of unknown actors, if they had the right script and right people portraying the right characters, then they were bound to do well imho

[jmc]

Nothing wrong with unknowns or lesser known actors.

[Jake Cassidy]

I'm hoping it is.

I'm hoping it's either McAdams or Wilde.

But, if it turns out to be someone else, I'm not going to complain like a b***h. Unlike some people.

[Jake Cassidy]

Nothing wrong with unknowns or lesser known actors.

Who said there was?

[jmc]

Start Trek was a massive gamble, after the debacle that was Nemesis.

[jmc]

Who said there was?

No-one, I'm stating it coz I think this Lois role is the perfect opportunity for some lesser known to be given a shot.

[Lencho01]

And the film was targeted for the main stream as it was stated many times.

[herolee10]

I'm hoping it's either McAdams or Wilde.

But, if it turns out to be someone else, I'm not going to complain like a b***h.

I'm just hoping that whoever they picked, looks and can act faithfully as we all know Lois's character to be.

And tbh, I'm still hoping that it's McAdams because Wilde looks more model-like than someone I'd consider to be a competent journalist.

[jmc]

I will say this, if any one of these girl are cast they won't be nearly as ordinary as Bosworth was, so I guess that's a plus.

[Jake Cassidy]

No-one, I'm stating it coz I think this Lois role is the perfect opportunity for some lesser known to be given a shot.

If they wanted to go that way, they would. For all we know they still could.

[Jake Cassidy]

I will say this, if any one of these girl are cast they won't be nearly as ordinary as Bosworth was, so I guess that's a plus.

Always look on the bright side. It feels much better. :woot:

[BH/HHH]

I think Olivia Wilde is one of my new favourites

[TheRedRanger]

Kristen Stewart apparently thinks one blockbuster movie franchise is enough. The fetching “Twilight” star was reportedly approached by producers of the new “Superman: Man of Steel,” movie about playing love interest Lois Lane. But it was a non-starter. Superman director Zack Snyder and his wife Deborah, a producer on the film, reportedly met with Stewart to feel her out about taking the role, according to The New York Daily News. While Stewart was not formally offered the part, Snyder was definitely interested in the raven-haired beauty, a source told the newspaper.

Stewart apparently thought the success of the “Twilight” franchises, in which she stars with boyfriend Robert Pattinson, was overwhelming enough. As such, she wasn’t prepared to jump into another potential multi-film franchise. Instead, she expressed an interest in “smaller, independent films,” according to the News.

O_o Thank God she's not interested!

[Astrodust]

I wouldn't be surprised if WB goes with Olivia Wilde. She is a fresh face and feels like the next big thing. If they get her now and lock her for 3 films, it will be cheap. With Angelina Jolie getting older and doing less films there's a void of female action stars. Though Wilde isn't at the acting caliber of Jolie, she does have the look of someone that can do that genre of movies as well as others. It's going to come down to chemistry though for the next Superman movie.

Word !
I can't believe she was approached for Lois role, she still has a teenager look but maybe it is just me.

I concur, shes an abysmal actress anyway.

I've only seen Rachel McAdams in Sherlock Holmes, so maybe I need to bone up on her resume, since I have to assume that the allure with her is acting ability. Otherwise, to go by appearances, I just don't see it.

Zooey would be fun if they were going to play down Lois' sensuality (Zooey's a beautiful girl, but more in an, "aw, I just wanna hug and protect her" sort of way to me). She'd be a change of pace from the obvious sex-pot-in-a-pantsuit...

Speaking of which: Emily Blunt. That is all. Cast her, and my ticket is already bought. Don't know if she's got the acting chops, but looks-wise, "I say goddayum"! :hrt:

It's weird that I seem to be the only one that so far has mentioned Stana Katic.
