Known for her dynamic performances and versatility on screen, Amy Adams has established herself as a successful actress in Hollywood. She has the ability to bring depth and authenticity to her onscreen characters and has won over millions of fans. One of her incredible performances also includes her portrayal of the award-winning journalist Lois Lane in the 2013 film Man of Steel. She reprised her DC character in three more films, Dawn of Justice, Justice League, and Zack Snyder’s Justice League.
However, there might have been a possibility that the Man of Steel actress could have played Bruce Wayne’s love interest instead of Clark Kent, as she read for the part of Rachel Dawes during the auditions for the lead star in Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins.
Amy Adams Assisted in the Batman Begins‘ Auditions
Christian Bale’s audition tape for the lead role in The Dark Knight trilogy shed some new light. Alongside stars like Cillian Murphy and Eion Bailey, Bale also auditioned for the character. And the audition tape reveals the actor auditioning alongside him, Amy Adams.
The Machinist star can be seen in Val Kilmer’s suit from the 1995 film Batman Forever, and the future Lois Lane can be seen reading the part of Rachel Dawes in the audition. According to the Enchanted star, she was so moved by his performance that she ended up crying during the audition. The director of the film, Christopher Nolan, was also surprised to see her breaking down.
The actress reportedly read the part in the audition as a favor to the film’s casting director John Papsidera. Actress Katie Holmes was eventually cast as Bruce Wayne’s love interest and Gotham’s assistant DA, Rachel Dawes, in the 2005 film Batman Begins.
Lois Lane Was the First Character Amy Adams Played Twice
In a career spanning decades, Amy Adams had the opportunity to explore a huge variety of characters. She reprised her DC character Lois Lane in the 2016 film Dawn of Justice, which marked the first time she played a character more than once.
During an interview with The Guardians, The Master actress shared that she was excited to take Lois Lane on a new journey. “I’ve just had my first experience of bringing a character back, playing Lois Lane again,” she said. The film was met with mixed reviews, and Adams shared she felt bad for the way people were referring to the director of the film.
Calling Snyder the “nicest person ever” and a “respectful director,” she said that seeing all the comments people made about him was hard for her. “I just felt for Zack,” she said. Followed by the 2016 film, she reprised her role as Lois Lane in the 2017 Justice League and 2021 Zack Snyder’s Justice League.
