Ursa Will Appear in Superman Reboot

Further proof a lot of people following the movie-news scene lack reading comprehension skills.

British actresses Alice Eve and Rosemund Pike and German actress Diane Kruger were reported (via the trades) to be up for the female lead in Zack Snyder's Superman reboot for next Christmas. But in a twist, they stated the role in question wasn’t for Lois Lane.

For some reason, that translated, by many, to "Oh my God! Lois Lane isn't in the reboot?!?" Even though the trade publication never once stated or implied the Daily Planet reporter with a thing for Kryptonian superheroes masquerading as bumbling, but loveable, dorks wouldn't appear.

Latino Review got to digging and found out what's up. So what did their Burbank moles squeal?

First, Lois is in the reboot so chill out fanboys. Second, this phantom lady paraded about for Eve, Kruger and Pike (God knows there could be others before things are definite) is Ursa, the Kryptonian villainess from the first two Christopher Reeve movies.

Since we know she'll be flying around the Earth causing grief for the new Man of Steel (UK actor Henry Cavill), sounds like those General Zod rumors were for real. Yeah, yeah, I remember Zack Snyder denying that last year. Because as we all know, actors, filmmakers, etc. never ever lie about information that gets out early.
