Amy Adams will play Lois Lane in the new Superman movie.

The three-time Oscar nominee was informed by director Zack Snyder earlier today.

“There was a big, giant search for Lois. For us it was a big thing and obviously a really important role,” said Snyder.

“We did a lot of auditioning but we had this meeting with Amy Adams and after that I just felt she was perfect for it.”

Henry Cavill will play the Man of Steel, while Kevin Costner and Diane Lane are on board as Pa and Ma Kent.

Earlier rumors (debunked by Gossip Cop) had Kristen Stewart taking the Lois Lane role. Kate Bosworth played the character in 2006’s Superman Returns.

The new Superman movie comes out in 2012.

What do you think of the choice of Adams?

Armie Hammer has won a royal role.

The actor, who broke through last year in The Social Network, will play Prince Andrew Alcott in the upcoming Snow White film that features Julia Roberts as the evil Queen.

Producers have yet to cast the title role, although Atonement star Saoirse Ronan is believed to be the frontrunner.

The project, described as a modern update in which Snow White bands together with seven dwarfs to reclaim her kingdom, is not to be confused with the upcoming Kristen Stewart vehicle Snow White and the Huntsman.

Tarsem Singh will direct the Hammer/Roberts film, scheduled for a 2012 release.
