Superman's Leading Lady Narrowed Down to Three
Source: Variety
Duck back under the covers if you're scared of a little fan backlash, because Variety broke the news last night that Warner Bros. has moved on to casting the female lead for the upcoming Superman reboot... but it's not going to be Lois Lane.
Alice Eve, Rosmund Pike, and Diane Kruger
Diane Kruger, Alice Eve and Rosamund Pike are the three lucky actresses who have made WB's shortlist to play the lead female role alongside Henry Cavill's Superman. Kruger is most remembered for her role in the 'National Treasure' films as well as her appearance as Bridget von Hammersmark in 'Inglorious Basterds'. Eve has fewer notable works under her belt until last year with 'Sex and the City 2' as well as a starring role alongside 'How To Train Your Dragon' star Jay Baruchel in 'She's Out of My League'. While Pike has already proved worth beside another iconic fictional figure in the James Bond franchise with 'Die Another Day' in 2002 and more recently as the wife of Bruce Willis in the comic book adaptation 'Surrogates'. Sources tell Variety that they chose lesser known actresses intentionally, as to not overshadow the leading man (who is a lesser known name himself).
Our thoughts? With the script rumored to be about a young Clark Kent traveling the world and gradually discovering the reasons behind becoming Superman, and with Lois out of the running... could it be that the romantic interest is actually Clark's high-school sweetheart Lana Lang? Previously played by Annette O'Toole in 1983's 'Superman III', it's possible that they'll bring her back into the series as "the girl before the girl". However, Lana Lang (in both movie and comic book form) is traditionally a red-head, not a blonde like the actresses in question (not that a bottle of hair dye couldn't fix that problem, but still).
However, it's also possible that this is an entirely new character developed solely for the film. "Superman: Man of Steel" is being written by David S. Goyer ('Batman Begins', 'The Dark Knight'), who also gave us "Rachel Dawes" - a love interest created solely for the rebooted Bat-franchise. If the rumors are true and this film is set after Clark Kent leaves Smallville but before he settles in Metropolis - there is definitely room for a brand new lady in Clark Kent's life.
So fans... go crazy. It's okay, we'll let you. Is leaving Lois out of the story a terrible mistake? Or since Clark already has brunettes and redheads in his little black book, is there room for a blonde to take center stage?

Zooey actually is as involved with music as much as acting. She's in an indie folk bank called She & Him, and has contributed music to a few of her films, such as Elf and 500 Days of Summer.

I've only seen her in (500) Days of Summer where she had to play an emotionally closed off woman, so I can't agree or disagree with you.
But since when is she a singer? Are you sure you're not getting her mixed up with Katy Pery?

Never been a gigantic Superman fan, so whether or not Lois Lane is in it or not doesn't matter much to me.
I did love the first two Superman movies, however, because...well, they were really good.
If the decision by Snyder to not have Lois Lane results in a good movie, I'm cool with it.

Also, Jett from BATMAN-ON-FILM. COM clarified his Tweet regarding Hugo Strange played by Robin Williams.
All I was doing was thinking out loud after a chat I had with an industry friend of mine. I’ve made no secret that 1) I’d LOVE it if Robin Williams finally got his wish and was cast in a Batman film, and, 2) I’d also love to see the character of Hugo Strange included in THE DARK KNIGHT RISES. Put those 2 together things together and, “RW as Strange? Hmm…..”
That’s it.
I’m flattered that all these outlets think that one of my Tweets is a story, but really, they’re all making a mountain out of very small anthill. If I knew that Hugo Strange was in the film for a fact -- as well as Robin Williams portraying the character -- I wouldn’t say anything about it anywhere.

@Fungusmonley - I read the original article from Variety, and what people kind of assumed was that Lois Lane would not be in the movie, and that they were looking for a new love interest. Nowhere in that article did it say that the female character being cast was a romantic interest, or that Lois was out of the movie. To me, that's over-speculation and misinterpretation. As for Snyder saying that Zod wasn't in the film, that was four months ago. Things can change. But I will expect to hear something soon, since people are losing their wits over this. In the meantime, I'm skeptical that these three are being cast to 'replace' Lois Lane, when having her in the movie should help WB secure the copyright to the character.
