I stand by my Evangiline Lilly choice until an official announcement is made.
I was thinking about her tonight, well, in relation to narrowing down the options. I was talking with a friend, about how WB/DC seem to look for young actors, sometimes TOO young.
Superman Returns is a good example. Now they choose Reynolds and BLAKE LIVELY for
Green Lantern. Even though the characters have mature looks in the comics, production companies choose young looking actors for the parts, of course with the sequels in mind.
Now, Evangeline Lilly, who is 31, I can accept her as a reporter with some experience. I dig her looks for Lois. Maybe in 3-4 years she will look much older than she does now - SO WHAT? They should roll with it. I can accept that Tom Welling is a early 20s Clark Cent. I can accept that Daniel Radcliffe is a teenage wizard. Ralf Macchio as the Karate
KID. And I am totally cool with the fact that, as do the actors, so do the characters age.
I wonder how would she look next to, lets say, Herny Cavill, who is 27, but looks somewhere between 24 and 30, which is a good thing. See, you don't just cast people, you have to make sure that there is a certain chemistry, complemented with some acting of course.
