Natalie Portman As Lois Lane?
Tue, September 28, 2010 
The Superman news just keeps on coming. Our good friends over at Moviehole are now reporting on a possible candidate for Lois Lane. Apparently the cute as a button and just as equally sexy Natalie Portman has been contacted for the role.
A friend that worked on "Black Swan" with Mr Aronofsky tells us that the filmmaker has actually "been talking about this for a while" and that they don't think talks have "progressed beyond the suggestion of having Nat[alie Portman] be Lois. They wanted her first time around, this time they can get her - with Darren. But who knows where that's at now" Now that's cool! And I assume they're referring to the studio being keen on Ms Portman for "Superman Returns". "...nothing on paper yet. Don't add his name to the IMDB director listing on the film's page yet", she adds.
Not a bad choice, I guess I can see it. Problem being, is the choice would seem very similar to the look of Bosworth's version of Lois, or would you call it Singer's? Which would make sense because the report is that Portman was actually up for Lois in "Superman Returns".
If they are already contacting actresses about playing Lois, you would think they might have their Superman...

I like Portman as Lois, though it does bug me a little that she's in Thor too. I really hope Routh is chosen as Superman. A younger Lois gives me hope that it's not Hamm
Natalie would deliver in the role I am sure, although I thought they may have wanted a different type in order to distance the movie from Superman Returns.
yea its hard to know were casting is going to be to we know story/setting for the film. i just hope they pick a good cast an they work well together. i was throughly disapointed with SR.
I agree that she would be good in the role but its looks too similar to Bosworth's Lois. When reading the article my fiancee just glanced over and even said it looks too much like Returns
well even if portman was picked she could be playing lois totally different and another thing she could do is dye her hair a different color cut/style hair differently to all be ways to make this lois different then SR lois.
Jennifer Morrison, damn it.
