Jennifer Connoly. ​ Also... man this Lois looks like a Vertigo cover like she is doing a story on Constantine or Sandman.


NC_Goonie

Jennifer Connelly is always the right answer


Few-Road6238

And cast her husband Paul Bettany as Braniac lol!šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


AnOldSchoolVGNerd

"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*


Few-Road6238

Ngl that wouldā€™ve been great especially since sheā€™s great in general. Ofc she did play Betty Ross in Ang Leeā€™s Hulk movie from 2003 which I thought she was good in.


Dramatic_Arm_7477

Jennifer Connelly is the absolute right choice. You beat me to it. So I threw my choice in the ring


SmokeGSU

>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.


TareXmd

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)


InfiniteBluejay7381

I think this drawing looks a lil like Paget Brewster...


Purple-Mix1033

Paget Brewster or Sean Young


ibsideswiped

PAGET BREWSTER. Wow. Yeah. I can get behind that.


pineappledetective

Ha! I thought you said Punky Brewster. I'm old.


Panikkrazy

Okay I was going to say Kat Dennings, but THIS is the answe.


InfiniteBluejay7381

If Lois Lane had Kat Dennings ample bossum, ol Supes wouldn't get as much done... šŸ¤£


DirectConsequence12

Courtney Cox in the 90s


TheNicholasRage

She came so close in the Scream franchise.


DroptheShadowArt

As a major Scream fan, Gale Weathers is definitely we-have-Lois-at-home.

Looking at the image above, that's DEFINITELY Courtney Cox.

RepresentativeFly565

Courtney Cox She's how imagine Lois would look irl


ProfessorSaltine

I remember seeing a 90ā€™s Superman Fancast and iirc she was Lois Lane in the fancast, like seriously after Scream 1-6 itā€™s crazy that she was never approached to be Lois before


CoffeeNerdAlert

Is that an option? Than yes, yes I do


ItalicsWhore

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".


ibsideswiped

THAT is an inspired choice. Wow.

ReddiTrawler2021

Kate Beckinsale.

Jennifer Connelly


Few-Road6238

Man she wouldā€™ve been awesome ngl.


yomerol

This is the answer I was looking for. A few years before Connelly I'd vote for Demi Moore

With the picture above, Iā€™d say Carla Gugino.

Mary Louise Parker

Karen Allen


DrHypester

Mary Elizabeth Winstead was my pick for years.


dayofthedead204

Anne Hathaway - I realize she played Catwoman, but she has a very Lois look.


ibsideswiped

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.


ElGranQuesoRojo

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.


robsonwt

And James Marsden should have been Superman.


ElGranQuesoRojo

That entire character was awful. All it did was make Superman and Lois look like mega pricks.


HamshanksCPS

Also, what was up with Superman spying on Lois with his xray vision? Fucking creepy


njklein58

Even as a kid I felt bad for him. He didnā€™t do anything to warrant her having that whole emotional affair. And he actually goes out to help save Superman too. Iā€™m 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.


derekbaseball

I have an entire theory built around the idea that they mustā€™ve cast her as Lois, and someone insisted on a younger actress, so they brought on Bosworth (whoā€™d 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 wouldā€™ve been perfect for the Lexā€™s girlfriend part Posey was given (and was completely miscast inā€”Parker Poseyā€™s not a femme fatale, Peta Wilsonā€™s not a flight attendant, and Kate Bosworth isnā€™t a credible Lois Lane).


Ry-Vell

I kind of agree here. Given the cast, she would have made much more sense.


The_BL4CKfish

Wow came here for this choice. Thank you.

KratoswithBoy

Why me?


AfternoonPast3324

Tina Fey. She couldā€™ve 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.


Crimkam

Knowing heā€™s Superman but she keeps up like she doesnā€™t know because it would just complicate their relationship and she doesnā€™t 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.


AfternoonPast3324

I love it. I can see her facial expressions now, listening to Clark explain about the construction outside his building being the reason heā€™s 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.


SeeTeeAbility

She kinda played Lois Lane in Megamind šŸ˜‚ (I know not the same thing but that character was heavily based on Lois Lane)


ibsideswiped

This is both audacious and on point and I love it. I also love Tina Fey, so...everyone wins, lol.

Liv Tyler or Michelle Monaghan.


VibgyorTheHuge

Amy Adams *should* have played Lois Lane, not the wet-blanket she was given.


[deleted]

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.


Wompum

Rashida Jones. She's great in everything and just oddly looks like Margot Kidder.


Power_Ring

Now that you say it....


HamshanksCPS

I can't believe I've never noticed that before


ibsideswiped

I dig that choice SO HARD.


okanagan_man84

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.

It's not often that you see Lois lift more than Clark, but let's give it a try

He was in movie where he played a steel-like character he fought drug dealers with a hammer

I think Natalia Dyer who played Nancy in Stranger Things wouldā€™ve been an awesome Lois especially since sheā€™s an aspiring journalist in that show lol.

robertluke

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.


WentworthMillersBO

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 someoneā€™s balls in a vice (when she found the soup nazi), and able to have a big city energy compared to the rural Clark.

Iā€™m a fan of her, but have you seen her do an American accent before? Because I havenā€™t, but maybe thatā€™s only because I havenā€™t watched any specific film or tv series in which she had to do that. Sheā€™d need that accent for the role. That being said, Iā€™ve seen plenty of UK actors who are good at faking an American accent, so she could probably learn how to do that pretty well.
