From a banished princess in "Enchanted" to a tough-as-nails reporter, Amy Adams is set to play Lois Lane in Warner Bros. Pictures' revival of "Superman" according to Hero Complex.

The star received the news from director Zack Snyder who called her from Paris where he was promoting his new film "Sucker Punch."

The director exclusively told Hero Complex that “There was a big, giant search for Lois. For us it was a big thing and obviously a really important role. We did a lot of auditioning but we had this meeting with Amy Adams and after that I just felt she was perfect for it.”

Adams will join Henry Cavill who is set to play Clark Kent and Superman. Kevin Costner and Diane Lane are also attached to star as the Kents, the adoptive parents of the Man of Steel.

I'm a big fan of Adams, and I believe she will make a great Lois Lane in this Christopher Nolan-produced reboot. Other actresses who starred as the journalist in previous "Superman" incarnations were Noel Neill (Saturday movie serials 1948-1950), Phyllis Coates ("Superman and the Mole Men 1951 opposite George Reeves), Margot Kidder (Christopher Reeve versions of the 1970s and 1980s), and most recently, Kate Bosworth in the 2006 Bryan Singer-directed film "Superman Returns” starring Brandon Routh.
