Snyder told the Los Angeles Times that he knew he had found his Lois Lane after talking to the 36-year-old, three-time Academy Award nominee. “There was a big, giant search for Lois,” Snyder said. “For us it was a big thing and obviously a really important role. We did a lot of auditioning but we had this meeting with Amy Adams and after that I just felt she was perfect for it.”
Adams is the latest main character to be added to the Superman reboot, which also has Diane Lane and Kevin Costner playing Superman/Clark Kent’s adoptive parents, Jonathan and Martha Kent. Snyder did not reveal details about Adams’ role, describing it only as “a linchpin” to the highly anticipated project. “Superman: Man of Steel” is expected to hit theaters in December 2012.
