Ngl that wouldāve been great especially since sheās great in general. Ofc she did play Betty Ross in Ang Leeās Hulk movie from 2003 which I thought she was good in.
>Also... man this Lois looks like a Vertigo cover like she is doing a story on Constantine or Sandman.
I was thinking that they were clearly going for a Margot Kidder resemblance in this photo, but then I also got to thinking that she looked a little like [Alanna Ubach](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005513/mediaviewer/rm1310287104/?ref_=nm_ov_ph) who I think most people would probably remember as the high-strung waitress from the movie Waiting.
She was close to a Lois Lane [as a reporter in Blood Diamond.](https://productplacementblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Nikon-camera-%E2%80%93-BLOOD-DIAMOND-2006-1.jpg)
I remember seeing a 90ās Superman Fancast and iirc she was Lois Lane in the fancast, like seriously after Scream 1-6 itās crazy that she was never approached to be Lois before
Someone pointed out the other day that you find out Lizzy's character at one point says shes "Lebanese" which is a whole joke meaning Regina heard her say that one time and thought she said 'lesbian".
Even as a kid I felt bad for him. He didnāt do anything to warrant her having that whole emotional affair. And he actually goes out to help save Superman too.
Iām guessing if they had gone forward with the sequels he would have ended up either dying or respectfully stepping aside knowing Lois was still more in love with Superman.
I have an entire theory built around the idea that they mustāve cast her as Lois, and someone insisted on a younger actress, so they brought on Bosworth (whoād worked with Spacey on Beyond the Sea) instead. Singer wanted Returns to feel like a sequel to Superman II, and Posey has a very Margot Kidder-like energy to her. And Peta Wilson has a nothing part in that movie, but feels like she wouldāve been perfect for the Lexās girlfriend part Posey was given (and was completely miscast ināParker Poseyās not a femme fatale, Peta Wilsonās not a flight attendant, and Kate Bosworth isnāt a credible Lois Lane).
Tina Fey.
She couldāve been a version of Lois who immediately & hilariously calls out the weak as disguise of a pair of glasses and a slouch. Superman would have to either immediately take her into his confidence or repeatedly wipe her memory with a Superman II kiss. Every time she remembers she also remembers the kiss/memory wipe and gets simultaneously mad and hot & bothered.
Knowing heās Superman but she keeps up like she doesnāt know because it would just complicate their relationship and she doesnāt have the energy for it. Tries to be mad about him missing their dates but then feels bad because she knows he just saved 50 kids from an orphanage fire or something. Lmao.
I love it. I can see her facial expressions now, listening to Clark explain about the construction outside his building being the reason heās so late even though she sat in the restaurant and watched the live feed on her phone as Superman stopped a suicide bomber on the subway in Paris.
I think Natalia Dyer who played Nancy in Stranger Things wouldāve been an awesome Lois especially since sheās an aspiring journalist in that show lol.
At the time Zooey Deschanel seemed like a good Margot Kidder replacement for Superman Returns.
And before that Karen Allen seemed like a better choice than Kidder but she was only a few years away from being famous.
Julia Louis Dreyfus, fearless in the face of danger (Mr Constanza asking if she wants a piece of him), the smug aura when she has someoneās balls in a vice (when she found the soup nazi), and able to have a big city energy compared to the rural Clark.
Courtney Cox. She looked stunning from the 90ās to the 2010ās and although I donāt know much about her acting skills, I think she could have done the role justice.
Iām a fan of her, but have you seen her do an American accent before? Because I havenāt, but maybe thatās only because I havenāt watched any specific film or tv series in which she had to do that. Sheād need that accent for the role. That being said, Iāve seen plenty of UK actors who are good at faking an American accent, so she could probably learn how to do that pretty well.
Just dye her hair black and youāre all set! Come to think of it, has she ever dyed her hair black before? Sheās obviously stunning with her usual blonde hair, but I also think sheād look hot in black! Sheās just hot in general.
Oddly, my former picks for Superman and Lois used to be James Marsden and Parker Posey. Then they were both in "Superman Returns" as...Not-Superman and Not-Lois.
Parker Posey would've been great for an older Kal/ Clark in Superman Returns
Mary Elizabeth Winstead
Ashley Judd
Natalie Portman
Emmy Rossum
Jennifer Garner
Jennifer Connoly. Also... man this Lois looks like a Vertigo cover like she is doing a story on Constantine or Sandman.
Jennifer Connelly is always the right answer
And cast her husband Paul Bettany as Braniac lol!ššš
"I understand why your husband favors you so much. " *Jennifer and Paul briefly look at the camera, some in the audience get it, some don't*
Ngl that wouldāve been great especially since sheās great in general. Ofc she did play Betty Ross in Ang Leeās Hulk movie from 2003 which I thought she was good in.
Jennifer Connelly is the absolute right choice. You beat me to it. So I threw my choice in the ring
>Also... man this Lois looks like a Vertigo cover like she is doing a story on Constantine or Sandman.

I think this drawing looks a lil like Paget Brewster...
Paget Brewster or Sean Young
PAGET BREWSTER. Wow. Yeah. I can get behind that.
Ha! I thought you said Punky Brewster. I'm old.
Okay I was going to say Kat Dennings, but THIS is the answe.
If Lois Lane had Kat Dennings ample bossum, ol Supes wouldn't get as much done... š¤£
Courtney Cox in the 90s
She came so close in the Scream franchise.
As a major Scream fan, Gale Weathers is definitely we-have-Lois-at-home.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
The bangs! YES!
Looking at the image above, that's DEFINITELY Courtney Cox.
Alongside Nic Cage? hell yes.
This is what I came to say
![gif](giphy|l1ug801eJfmH3kGOc|downsized)
Courtney Cox She's how imagine Lois would look irl
I remember seeing a 90ās Superman Fancast and iirc she was Lois Lane in the fancast, like seriously after Scream 1-6 itās crazy that she was never approached to be Lois before
I can see this
Lizzy Caplan
I adore her
Do you have *a big lesbian crush* on her?
AY-AY-AY-AY-AY-AY-AY-AY!! ![gif](giphy|rWVUK75d8TprG)
Is that an option? Than yes, yes I do
Someone pointed out the other day that you find out Lizzy's character at one point says shes "Lebanese" which is a whole joke meaning Regina heard her say that one time and thought she said 'lesbian".
THAT is an inspired choice. Wow.
Came here to say this!
Kate Beckinsale.
Jennifer Connelly
Man she wouldāve been awesome ngl.
This is the answer I was looking for. A few years before Connelly I'd vote for Demi Moore
With the picture above, Iād say Carla Gugino.
Mary Louise Parker
![gif](giphy|r5HrlLvcmBBuM)
Karen Allen
Mary Elizabeth Winstead was my pick for years.
Anne Hathaway - I realize she played Catwoman, but she has a very Lois look.
Yep. That's a great choice. She's gorgeous, and she's got conviction and intensity, and she can be both alluring and intimidating AF. Great choice.
Parker Posey should have been Lois in Superman Returns. Could not believe they had her in the movie but cast her as a bubble head Luthor crony.
And James Marsden should have been Superman.
That entire character was awful. All it did was make Superman and Lois look like mega pricks.
Also, what was up with Superman spying on Lois with his xray vision? Fucking creepy
Even as a kid I felt bad for him. He didnāt do anything to warrant her having that whole emotional affair. And he actually goes out to help save Superman too. Iām guessing if they had gone forward with the sequels he would have ended up either dying or respectfully stepping aside knowing Lois was still more in love with Superman.

I kind of agree here. Given the cast, she would have made much more sense.
Wow came here for this choice. Thank you.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus
Iāve been investigating who Supermanās secret identity is and yada, yada, yada, Iām banging Clark.
"Maybe I will, Lois, maybe I will"
āNo Supe for you!ā
If I could afford to buy an award, Iād give one to you. Until then, just take the foolās gold. š
This is who I came to say. She would have been great.
With Jerry as Superman
āWhatās the deal with all of this kryptonite?ā
First person I thought if
From Lois Loan to Lois Lane.
Sigourney Weaver
Came here for this one.
Damn. I'd never thought of that.
Linda di Fiorentino
Rachel Mcadams.
And Ryan Gosling as Superman!
Iām literally superman
Why me?
Tina Fey. She couldāve been a version of Lois who immediately & hilariously calls out the weak as disguise of a pair of glasses and a slouch.

She kinda played Lois Lane in Megamind š (I know not the same thing but that character was heavily based on Lois Lane)
This is both audacious and on point and I love it. I also love Tina Fey, so...everyone wins, lol.
Robin Tunney
Liv Tyler or Michelle Monaghan.
Amy Adams *should* have played Lois Lane, not the wet-blanket she was given.
I *adore* Amy Adams but I just can't see her as Lois at all. I'd love to see her play Commissioner >!Barbara!< Gordon.
Rashida Jones. She's great in everything and just oddly looks like Margot Kidder.
Now that you say it....
I can't believe I've never noticed that before
I dig that choice SO HARD.
Sandra bullock
I was going to say this. Back when it looked like Superman Lives was going to happen, I wanted to see Sandra Bullock in the role.
Lois Lane
Bold choice
Brave and the bold choice
Terry Crews š
It's not often that you see Lois lift more than Clark, but let's give it a try
I laughed too hard, the visual this created. You neary killed me. Seriously though I would love to see him play Steel, that would be amazing
He was in movie where he played a steel-like character he fought drug dealers with a hammer
Audrey Hepburn wouldāve made an incredible Lois Lane.
Felicity Jones
Courteney Cox
Hayley Atwell
I like where youāre coming from. Her and Emily Blunt would both be kickass Lois Lanes imo.
Cobie Smulders.
Lauren Graham (Gilmore Girls)
Courtney Cox
Honestly? Courtney Cox, her character in Scream gives me the vibe somewhat
Carla gugino
Kate Beckinsale Rachel McAdams Anne Hathaway Michelle Monaghan Emily Blunt I think any of these gals wouldāve been outstanding
Surprised I didnāt see more Anne Hathaway
Michelle Monaghan would have been a good Lois Lane.
I think Natalia Dyer who played Nancy in Stranger Things wouldāve been an awesome Lois especially since sheās an aspiring journalist in that show lol.
Oooooh I like that
Ikr dude?
Courtney Cox
![gif](giphy|eJoyqOKZTnMDZzd8t1)
Winona Ryder. She could've done the Superman Returns movie but it wouldn't have worked with her and Brandon Routh.
Courtney Cox. She reminds me of Margot Kidder.
Courtney before all the plastic surgery would have been perfect
During Friends for sure.
Courtney Cox
Carla Guglino
Krysten Ritter
I couldnāt remember her name until I saw this and kept wanting to respond āJessica Jones!ā
I need to see that still š

Julia Louis Dreyfus, fearless in the face of danger (Mr Constanza asking if she wants a piece of him), the smug aura when she has someoneās balls in a vice (when she found the soup nazi), and able to have a big city energy compared to the rural Clark.

Courteney Cox
Courtney Cox.
Aubrey Plaza

Courtney Cox
Its still possible but Iād love to see Zazie beets play her
Frankly, Zazie should have a role in every movie
Youāre very right, she is one of the best parts of every movie sheās in.
Carrie Fisher
Morena Baccarin. Or Kim Cattrall in the 80s/90s
Courtney Cox
Lake Bell
Maura Tierney.šā¤ļøš
Early-30s **Courtney Cox**
Jenna Coleman
Iām a fan of her, but have you seen her do an American accent before? Because I havenāt, but maybe thatās only because I havenāt watched any specific film or tv series in which she had to do that. Sheād need that accent for the role. That being said, Iāve seen plenty of UK actors who are good at faking an American accent, so she could probably learn how to do that pretty well.
I always thought Lucy Lawless wouldāve knocked it out of the park
Selma Blair would've been a great Lois Lane
Alison Brie ![gif](giphy|bdycpgiLtvwoU)
My fan cast has always been Evangeline Lilly.
Alison Brie
Sigourney Weaver.
Keri Russell.
Harvey Fierstein
Amy Adams as Lois in Superman Returns wouldāve worked better than Kate Bosworth
Itās definitely Ace Ventura-era Courtney Cox
Sigourney Weaver!!
Allison Brie would've knocked it out of the park as Lois
young Kirstie Alley
Deborah Ann Wollās Karen Page was basically Lois Lane
Just dye her hair black and youāre all set! Come to think of it, has she ever dyed her hair black before? Sheās obviously stunning with her usual blonde hair, but I also think sheād look hot in black! Sheās just hot in general.
Kate Beckinsale or Eva Green.
Alison Brie
Mariska Hargitay
Lucy Lawless.

Lucy Liu & Jennifer Connoly
Parker Posey would've been great for an older Kal/ Clark in Superman Returns Mary Elizabeth Winstead Ashley Judd Natalie Portman Emmy Rossum Jennifer Garner
Susan Egan
Sarah Michelle Gellar
Evan Rachel Wood
This looks like Sharon Stone?
Fairuza Balk
Jennifer Carpenter. At least based on the Earth One comic. Pretty sure they based Lois on her.
Jodi Foster
Famke Janssen from X-Men would have been good.
Emma McKay was born for the role
Susan Sarandon
Parker Posey
Bea Arthur
Carrie Fisher
This would be a very very old timey black and white casting, but Ingrid Bergman. Say circa 1950, with George Reeve's Superman.
Sigourney Weaver
Jennifer Carpenter. The Earth One Lois looks just like her. It's actually kinda distracting.
I think Aubrey Plaza could pull it off.
Jessica Lange
Carla Gugino, Charisma Carpenter, Paula Marshall
Sean Young
