As well as being rumoured to play Snow White, Twilight star Kristen Stewart is apparently taking on Jessica Biel for the role of Lois Lane in the upcoming Superman reboot.
Following the announcement that Tudors star, Henry Cavill, has been cast as the man of steel in the uhhh... Man of Steel Warner Bros. are now casting around for their female lead, with Stewart and Biel (Blade: Trinity) on the top if their list, with Rachel McAdams ( movie,Sherlock Holmes), Malin Ackerman (Watchmen) and Dianna Agron (Glee) also up for consideration.
Man of Steel is shaping up to be an interesting return for Clark Kent's alter-ego, following Bryan Singer's disappointing Superman Returns back in 2006. Christopher Nolan is onboard and eager to push the franchise towards darker territory, in the mould of his ultra-successful Batman movie, The Dark Knight.
His brother, Jonathan, is scripting the movie with Batman Begins co-writer, David S. Goyer, whilst slow-motion fanatic, Zack Snyder, has been hired to direct (after Guillermo del Toro, Darren Aronofsky and Tony Scott were all rumoured to be up for the job).
Cavill, meanwhile, will be celebrating his good fortune, having once been dubbed 'the unluckiest man in Hollywood' by Empire magazine, for losing out on Batman, James Bond and the Superman Returns title role.
