Amy Adams cast as Lois Lane in new Superman movie

Amy Adams seems to be Hollywood’s current It girl.

With Academy Awards nominations left and right, Adams can add another feather to her cap as it was just announceed that she will join the cast of Superman: Man of Steel as Clark Kent-slash-Superman’s love interest, Lois Lane.

As director Zack Snyder described to EW.com, Adams “has the talent to capture all of the qualities we love about Lois: smart, tough, funny, warm, ambitious and, of course, beautiful.”

He also mentioned that the search for the new Lois Lane was a long, complicated road because the role, to him, was just as important as the Man of Steel himself.

Adams does seem to have that certain spunk that makes Lois Lane, well, Lois Lane.

Her casting is more reminiscent of the role as portrayed by Margot Kidder of the original Superman movies. Her addition to the cast also seems to shed some light in the direction that production is going to take with this current reboot.

Adams co-stars in the movie include veteran actors Kevin Costner and Diane Lane. And cast as Superman is hunky actor, Henry Cavill of The Tudors fame.

Need more of an incentive to see this movie? It’s being produced by Christopher Nolan. Yes, THE Christopher Nolan.

But, moviegoers will still have to wait awhile (actually a long while) for the movie to come out as the projected release date is December 2012.
