The Official Lois Lane Casting & Discussion Thread - Part 6

[Ursa]

I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up being one of the Sucker Punch girls lol.

Yep, I think Abbie Cornish has a good chance.

 

[Stephen K. Hone]

Yep, I think Abbie Cornish has a good chance.

I think she was the one I was thinking about. In that Sucker Punch interview a few posts back she was messing around in a mock fight with the interviewer. She has personality and doesn't look too shabby either. So Not too Shabby Abbie might be the one! Anyhow she looks like a strong personality, and hasn't she worked with Snyder before Sucker Punch?? It's amazing how a lot of these top directors (Nolan, Eastwood used to do it a lot) end up casting the same people in a lot of their films. I guess it is because they are comfortable with them, and already have a good working relationship.

 

[Jake Cassidy]

Yep. The Guardians of Ga'Hoole.

 

[RoughNTumble]

nah, they'll want a bigger name for lois, since henry's unknown

 

[Jake Cassidy]

For Lois I don't think it matters. The big names can be for the Kents (obviously), Lex, Jor-El, Lara, Perry (maybe) and whoever the villain is.

 

[Stephen K. Hone]

Yep. The Guardians of Ga'Hoole.

She's 5' 8" so that is a great height for Lois imo. My money is on her being the one.

 

[Jake Cassidy]

She's an Aussie, too. Yay. t:

 

[Stephen K. Hone]

Yep. The Guardians of Ga'Hoole.

Two movies back to back, so Snyder obviously thinks highly of her. Perhaps he'll go for the hat trick!

 

[Ursa]

She'll at least be tested.

Plus, she's a popular name now that she's in theaters in Limitless.

 

[jthom19802]

Cornish is 28 and looks 22. Can't see I see it.

 

[Project862006]

looks 22? yeah i think she looks her age

 

[Man of Tomorrow]

Cornish is 28 and looks 22. Can't see I see it.

Clark is "Early 20s" in this movie.

 

[hopefuldreamer]

Why do we not bring her up more?

Fair play if Snyder picks her, i'd be happy

 

[Sawyer]

looks 22? yeah i think she looks her age

Sweet Jesus...

 

[Rowsdower!]

Cornish is good choice, and she looks very Lois-like (IMO) in those pictures where she has dark hair. Out of all the Sucker Punch babes, she's the only one I could see playing Lois (Gugino would be good if this was an Older Superman movie, but it isn't). Jenna Malone would be the only other "maybe" but I'm not sure she has the right look for Lois (though I love her). Browning is just too young-looking, I don't think Hudgens is much of an actress and neither is Chung (though they are certainly nice to look at).

 

[I Am The Knight]

Cornish has a slight pig-nose That said (thank you Harry!) I don't think I've ever seen her act, so I can't comment on that.

 

[Stephen K. Hone]

I'm totally seeing a potential Lois there. Maybe Snyder didn't need to test her as she is someone he is very familiar with. They could be waiting until near the end of the Sucker Punch press tour to announce her. Or, I could be way off base lol. Don't think it's an outlandish proposition though.

 

[WarriorDreamer]

Why do we not bring her up more?

Because she's too plain.



Hopeful suicide I know you're firmly in the camp which says 'Lois can't be attractive, she must be average.'

But c'mon, be realistic. This is a Hollywood comic book film. What counts as 'average' or even 'nerdy' in hollwood is normally pretty hot by most people's standards.


Lois will be attractive.

 

[Ursa]

Cornish is attractive.

I dont know if she is charismatic, I've never seen her work, she was acclaimed in the movie Bright Star, though.

If she gets chemistry with Cavill, she has great chances.

Lois will be attractive.

First of all, as I kept repeating over and over again, I never suggested that Lois should not be attractive. I stated that in a Hollywood movie, OF COURSE she is going to be attractive.

I only negated candidates that were KNOWN sex symbols.

Secondly there is nothing plain about how she looks, and seeing as she was chosen for Sucker Punch, I think Snyder agrees with me.

Oh, yeah. She's a total dog.

Jesus Christ some of you guys are ridiculous.

 

[The Shield]

I saw limitless two nights ago and she was ok. Not a memorable performance really.

This is plain?? Boy you must have very high standards then. She's totally good looking enough for Lois. I would say she's borderline hot. No, make that hot. She is so far over the borderline I'd call I.N.S.


As an aside if they do eventually get a Justice League movie off the ground I think we've found our Wonder Twins!

I'm sure he's one of the Tom Bradys of this world, dumping the Bridget Moynahans for the Gisele Bundchens, lol.

Must be nice to be spoilt for choice like that.
