Will Superman kneel before a shapely Kryptonian villain?
Feb. 5, 2011
There's been a lot of talk about actresses vying to be the leading lady in Zack Snyder's SUPERMAN: MAN OF STEEL. The most recent round named Diane Kruger, Rosamund Pike and the delectable Alive Eve here as candidates, leading to speculation that perhaps Lois Lane wasn't even going to be in the movie.
But Latino Review says they've got it sorted: these ladies are actually up for an entirely different role than Clark Kent's love interest. Quite the opposite, in fact -- the production is looking for a female Kryptonian villain named URSA.
Snyder has stated on record that the movie would not feature General Zod as a villain, but apparently Supes will still have to face off against someone at his power level. Then again, Ursa (as previously portrayed in SUPERMAN 1 & II by Sarah Douglas) is a Zod accomplice, so you can ponder whether we'll see the megalomaniac himself at some point.
And not to worry -- Lois Lane will apparently still be involved with the Man of Steel. Judging by the actresses being sought for Ursa, the production just wants some blond contrast to Superman's dark-haired squeeze.

No, not really. You're screwed before you even begin auditioning people for those roles.

What about Metallo or Brainiac or Lobo? When are the Studios going to stop being cowards when it comes to using non mainstream villains for these films?

Seriously...
On the plus side, the more I think about Olivia Wilde as Lois Lane, the more I feel this would be great casting. Make it happen Hollywood!

A female Kryptonian villain = Mega Fail!

But see, DC/Warner and all involved in this movie seem to be doing it again with Superman, which is? More of the same as all the previous Superman movies.
Try something different!! Superman has other villains than Kryptonians and Luthor.

It would be great to see General Zod in this, but I guess Snyder is saving him for the sequels.
Michelle Monaghan for Lois Lane.
