Think shed have been a better choice actually!

I still think Parker Posey should had gotten a shot.

In Superman Returns absolutely.. (funny they had the perfect Kidder style Lois to match Rouths Reeve style Superman for it being sequel to Superman II... yet they cast her in the Miss Techmaker role and Bosworth as an underage Lois with 5 year old kid lol)

For Superman Returns I would have cast Zooey Deschanel as Lois.

Does she need to be in EVERY franchise?

I mean she's fine, but yeah, Parker Posey would have been better.

well had she been in MOS its unlikely shed have been in GOTG as well.. so in that respect she got the better deal (GOTG1/2/3 & Avengers 3/4 over MOS/BvS/JL)

[–] Otter (24464) 5 years ago

Yeah, she probably thanks God or Satan or whatever power hands out Hollywood roles for that one, every day of her life!

had she the choice i bet she wouldve totally gone for Lois/MoS as thatd seem a far better bet than a talking racoon spacepirate 80s cosmic movie from a no name director based on a comic no one had heard of where she gets made up like shehulk at 5am every morning (even if it is MCU).... over playing the iconic female lead in a reboot of the ultimate superhero from TDK guys and Synder (when he was still the cool 300/Watchmen director) and getting to wear snazzy suits and make out with superman (plus the whole first black woman as Lois would've been a huge deal/high profile potentially making her a bigger deal than heavy make up roles of Guardians/Avatar and the nerdy Star Trek ever could)

(also at that point everyone be thinking MOS/DC would beat MCU at its own game and break 1b first movie and that it would be as great a movie as TDK lol)

Lois is supposed to be a bitch and that's why Clark never tells her in the comics.

It's because she likes "bad boys" and thinks Superman is awesome while the real guy, Clark, is a nerd to her. In reality, Clark is awesome and he knows it, but she can't see it, so he never tells her. He wants her to be impressed with Clark, not Superman, who is just a show Clark puts on.

So, you need an actress who is pretty, gives the sense of being intelligent, acts brash and shallow at times, but appears to be a high quality yet immature person. Lois is NOT a nice person when Clark first meets her.

WBros are considering her for Flashpoint Lois?
