Actress and singer Amy Adams will play the role of the famous Lois Lane, a Daily Plant journalist, who will become Clark Kent’s love interest in the upcoming Superman remake by director Zack Snyder.

Snyder confirmed the news on Los Angeles Time and said he handed the part, which was previously played by Kate Bosworth, Teri Hatcher, Margot Kidder and Noel Neill, to Adams on Sunday through a phone conversation.

Adams is cast along with British actor Henry Cavill, who will play the role of Clark Kent or Superman. Also, she will join Diane Lane and Kevin Costner, who are cast as the Man of Steel’s adoptive parents.

Snyder said there was a big search for the actress who will play as Lois Lane in the movie. They did a lot of auditioning and several top-listed actresses were said to be aiming for the part. However, Snyder said he felt Amy Adams was the perfect match for the part as soon as she met her.

The actress filmed a lot of movies, but was noted for her roles in Doubt, Junebug and The Fighter- the films where she received nominations for an Oscar award. The star received the good news from director Synder by phone direct from Paris on Sunday.

Recently, Adams has been highly coveted in Hollywood. She is talked about for the movies “The Fighter” and “The Muppets.” Also, she is still negotiated to join the film adaptation of the musical show “Rock of Ages.”

Director Snyder said it is important that Superman and Lois Lane will be in the same in tone and substance so that they can play an emphatic role for the audiences.

The movie Superman: Man of Steel is set for release in December 2012.
