4) Emma Rossum
5)Lizzy Caplan

Kruger is the only one I'd like.
the rest...

 

[Rowsdower!]

Twist my arm.

1. Michelle Monaghan
2. Rachel McAdams
3. Olivia Wilde
4. Mila Kunis
5. Caroline Dhavernas
6. Emily Blunt
7. Rose Byrne

That's all I've got at the moment.

Michelle is definitely an actress that I wish was getting a little more attention. She's got a lot more talent than so many actresses out there who seem to be coming out with another movie every week, she's better looking than most of them, and yet... for some reason, no one seems to know who she is. I guess it just goes to show you that no matter how good you are, having a good agent and PR staff is what really matters.

 

[The Watchman]

Monaghan is a fantastic choice but she's going to be 35 in March...

 

[Majik1387]

In no particular order:

Olivia Wilde
Mila Kunis
Emily Blunt
Melissa George
Kristen Bell
Amy Adams
Rebecca Hall
Alison Brie
Gemma Arterton
Jordana Brewster

 

[I Am Jack's...]

1) Emily Blunt
2) Olivia Wilde
3) Michelle Monaghan
4) Rachel McAdams
5) Rose Byrne
6) Diane Kruger

I'm pretty sure Blunt's not going to get it, so realistically, Wilde would be my top choice at the moment.

 

[Ursa]

Not thinking about age or possibilities, this is my Top 5:

Keri Russell
Mary Elizabeth Winstead
Anne Hathaway
Evangeline Lilly
Rachel McAdams

 

[Majik1387]

Lilly is preggo so she's a no go.

Yeah, for anyone who's seen her potential in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Trucker, and Gone Baby Gone, it's kinda frustrating to see her still constantly playing generic love interest roles.

I feel the same way about Kristen Bell, actually, whose case may even be more tragic than Michelle's. And I see she's on Majik's list. While I may have a hard time actually picturing her as Lois, she's someone who I think could really NAIL the part personality-wise, even moreso than half the people on my own list, tbh.

 

[hopefuldreamer]

Just how I see it.

But my point being, most of the people we are suggesting look good next to a pic of Lois Lane. Just depends on your preference.

Plus, i'm kind of set on Olivia as Ursa. I think she's the best candidate since Carrie Anne Moss.

 

[DorkyFresh]

hopefulsuicide....in a perfect world, that's how it would be cast. Stroup looks soooo much like Lois it's ridiculous....and while i think Wilde is probably the best choice out of the realistic candidates, she definitely fits Ursa more!

Yeah.. In a perfect world, Stroup would be an up and coming actress, having a couple of decent roles under her belt... sometimes the timing just isnt right

 

[Ursa]

I'd like to see Wilde playing me.

Olga Kurylenko as well.

I've never seen Jessica Stroup acting, she's pretty, but looks too "Bervely Hills girl".

 

[Green Ghost]

Lilly is preggo so she's a no go.

For how long? I ask, because Marion Cotillard is also pregnant and is expecting in April, but is in talks to join The Dark Knight Rises in June...

Evangeline Lilly would be just perfect!

Stroup definitely has the look (should gain some weight though), but she's too young and lacking the experience.

 

[hopefuldreamer]

Yeah McAdams has definitely grown on me

 

[Project862006]

yeah too bad stroup is'nt proven as an actress she has a nice look but like ursa said she looks too Beverly hills valley girl to me and would'nt you know it she is from 90210 lol

not a slam against her since wilde started on the OC

Yeah, it really is a shame. She was so good in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang it's crazy. And I know she's a bit older than Henry, but she seriously doesn't look a day over 25. She would make a great Lois Lane.




Now, in regards to people suggesting Stroup... I agree that she has a perfect look, but does anyone here seriously know if she can act? Do any of you watch 90210 or are you just suggesting her because of her looks?

 

[Majik1387]

Monghan is and looks too old next to Cavill. Sorry, no thanks.

 

[Rowsdower!]

She's two years older than Rachel McAdams and doesn't look any older than her.

Oh wait, I forgot. You know everything and your bullsh** logic should never be questioned.

 

[Majik1387]

Someone is over-sensitive.

 

[romeogbs19]

Something tells me Snyder might go left-field on casting LL. While I understand everyone here debating looks/skills, I just hope Snyder can see the right chemistry in the auditions and pick the actress best suited to play alongside Cavill. Let's face it, Singer used to talk much about the romantic chemistry he saw between Routh and Bosworth -- and I frankly never saw anything of the sort.

I like McAdams, but she is older than Cavill and I keep thinking Snyder wants someone at or a few years younger than him. I still like Brie. Wilde would be an interesting choice. I'm not sure she's as visually spot-on as some people here attest, but she'd certainly draw a lot of fanboy attention.

I hope we hear something soon

Finally, I thought I'd just stick a few more Brie pictures here because ... well, just because I can

 

[ArmsHeldOut]

She's two years older than Rachel McAdams and doesn't look any older than her.

I agree. And even if she (Monaghan) does look a little older than Cavill, it's not a big deal.

 

[Sebastos]

Giggity. (to the Brie pics)

 

[DIRECTOR]

how about Sienna Miller

 

[Rowsdower!]

I agree. And even if she (Monaghan) does look a little older than Cavill, it's not a big deal.

Yeah; it fits the whole "established reporter" thing with Lois. And Michelle looked young enough to play friggin' Shia LaBeouf's love interest in Eagle Eye, so she would likely match up well with Cavill.
