Oh if only I was older, I would have kept her on the straight and narrow.

[Bryancd]

I had the same crush on her as well! I remember when those Playboy pics turned up......

Superman without Lois. Impossible!! It could still be a great movie without Lois but It just wouldn't seem right.  :superman

Here's why Lois Lane may be in that Superman reboot after all

With rumors flying fast and furious over the last 48 hours about a new female lead
for the upcoming Superman reboot, word has come that the character may be someone that Superman has clashed with before.

The news arrived late last week that actresses Rosamund Pike (The Surrogates), Alice Eve (She's Out of My League) and Diane Kruger (Unknown) were auditioning for a role in director Zack Snyder's new take on the Man of Steel, and that it wasn't Lois Lane. Now Latino Review has revealed via a "trusted, reliable source" that the character is a "Kryptonian villainess" going by the name Ursa.

Of course, Ursa first appeared in 1978's Superman and 1981's Superman II as the henchwoman of evil Kryptonian villain General Zod (Terence Stamp). Ursa was played in both films by British actress Sarah Douglas.

Does this mean that Zod himself will return to square off against Superman (Henry
Cavill) in the new film? No one knows. Here's what Snyder himself said recently about a rematch between Kal-El and Zod: "For now, it's just a rumor."

Latino Review's source also confirmed that Lois Lane is definitely in the film as well,
despite earlier reports that she may not be.

Just to throw another twist into the speculation running rampant online, Diane Kruger herself denied on Saturday that she was up for a role at all in Superman. Speaking to Coming Soon at a Los Angeles press conference to promote Unknown, Kruger said about the rumor, "No, it's not true."

Filming on the new Superman movie is slated to begin this summer for a Christmas 2012 release, so expect to hear more casting developments soon. Would you like to see Ursa and Zod battle Superman once again? Are you breathing a sigh of relief that Lois is apparently in the movie after all?

I had the same crush on her as well! I remember when those Playboy pics turned up......

Oh yes indeed, me too.  Such a happy pictorial, I remember her doing cartwheels or something.  Remember when it was such a big deal when nude pics of celebs turned up?  Nowadays it's a big deal when celebs DON'T take their clothes off.

Back on the movie, I'd prefer they don't use Zod or Lex.  A fresh movie could use a fresh villain.  At least one not seen in the movies yet.  Darkseid might be cool.

[WillEagle]

I agree with Rico bring on a new villain. Don't redo 2. There is so many possible villains to use why redo some from a previous movie.

New cover of EW..

So does he look like Superman/Clark Kent

[Rico]

I've been fine with just about every actor ever cast as Superman/Clark as far as their look.  It's how they play the role that's the critical part.

[WillEagle]

I thought Brandon Roth did a good job with the role. And I liked the story in the movie. The wife and I both liked it overall. We will both go check out the new one when it hits the theaters.

Latest casting rumor below:

Viggo Mortensen is rumored to be in the running for the part of General Zod in Zack Snyder's Superman, says a story at The Hollywood Reporter.

Don't jump to any conclusions quite yet, though. Zod's involvement in the storyline is unconfirmed, and Mortensen's connection to the role is tenuous at best. The original article lists him as a "person of interest," but he's also rumored to be up for the lead in Snow White and the Hunstman, a project that would certainly preclude his involvement in the DC Comics adaptation.

As long as he's done right (and is lacking the very strange powers like telekinesis the original movie Zod had) then I can live with Zod in this movie.

"This day we fight!"  Sorry, LOTR came screaming back when Viggo was mentioned.  Skeptical, but I'd like to see him in anything again.  Good actor :)

Viggo is a really good actor and would do well in any part on the Superman reboot. I just don't want them to use a villian that has been used before.
