Now that Superman has been cast for the upcoming Superman reboot, the sharks are in the water over who’s going to play the role of Lois Lane. According to Cinema Blend, a bevy of actresses could end up cinching the part.
Quite a few actresses have been linked to the role, including Mila Kunis, Kristen Stewart, Rachel McAdams, Anne Hathaway, Dianna Agron, Jessica Biel, Malin Ackerman, Oliva Wilde, Natalie Portman and surely others before the month is out.
I think there are a few contenders we can automatically rule out. Now that Hathaway has been cast as Catwoman, it’s safe to assume that she’s no longer in the running; she can’t play two characters in the same universe. Stewart’s PR team has confirmed that she has dropped out of the running.
As for the rest of the women listed, it’s pretty even-handed. To me, any one of them could get the spot and do well with it, but my money is between Mila Kunis and Rachel McAdams. Personally, Kunis could bring some new life and zest to the role–something I also think Henry Cavill will do for Clark Kent/Superman (I mean, even in looks he’ll bring some edge)–while McAdams seems like she could be a more classic Lois Lane.
I put it to you, readers; if you could cast the perfect Lois Lane, who would you cast?
