Was Amy Adams too old to play Lois Lane?
I mean, she was I believe, almost 40 when Man of Steel was released. Of course, that isn't "too old" in the traditional sense, and she at that age is far more plausible as a seasoned journalist than Kate Bosworth and her take as Lois Lane in Superman Returns. I mean, Kate was still in her early 20s when she did that movie.
But still, Amy is in real life almost ten years older than Henry Cavill. Maybe Cavill's Superman has a cougar fetish, I don't know. That isn't to say that there isn't precedent for Lois Lane's actress to be significantly older than Clark Kent's actor in real life. I mean, Margot Kidder was older than Christopher Reeve in real life, but only by about four years.
