Amy Adams Cast as Lois Lane in Upcoming ‘Superman’ Reboot

Amy Adams just nabbed a “super” new role.

Entertainment Weekly reports that Adams, 36, whose most recent film role was in the Oscar-nominated film, The Fighter, will play Lois Lane, Clark Kent’s better half, in the upcoming Zack Snyder-directed reboot of Superman.

“Second only to Superman himself, the question of who will play Lois Lane is arguably what fans have been most curious about. So we are excited to announce the casting of Amy Adams, one of the most versatile and respected actresses in films today,” said Snyder in the official Warner Bros. statement. “Amy has the talent to capture all of the qualities we love about Lois: smart, tough, funny, warm, ambitious and, of course, beautiful.”

Adams joins Henry Cavill, playing Clark Kent/Superman, Diane Lane and Kevin Costner in the star-studded cast.
