Amy Adams Says Playing Lois Lane is a Childhood Dream

She’s feminine, she’s intelligent, she’s a go-getter. She’s somebody I have identified with since whenever.

I’m like the luckiest girl in the world. I’ve gotten to be a princess, I’ve gotten to work with the Muppets. A lot of my childhood dreams about who I wanted to be when I was a grown-up, I at least get to play them in movies. And Lois Lane is one of them.

It’s something that all geeks like to see: that the actor who is playing their hero on the big screen is just as into the character as they are, and understands why it’s such a big deal. There’s no telling at this point whether Zach Snyder will deliver a Superman movie for the ages, but it seems like Amy Adams was a good choice.
