Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures announced today that Academy Award Winner Amy Adams will play Lois Lane opposite Henry Cavill who will play Superman in the Zack Snyder reboot of the film.

Snyder says in a statement: “Second only to Superman himself, the question of who will play Lois Lane is arguably what fans have been most curious about. So we are excited to announce the casting of Amy 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.”
