She’ll play the intrepid Metropolis reporter opposite Henry Cavill (mmm, Tudors) as Clark Kent, in a production that also stars Diane Lane and Kevin Kostner as the man of steel’s adoptive parents.

In his casting announcement, director Zack Snyder called Adams ‘one of the most versatile and respected actresses in films today.

‘Amy has the talent to capture all of the qualities we love about Lois: smart, tough, funny, warm, ambitious, and, of course, beautiful.’
