Warner Brother has announced that Oscar-nominated actress Diane Lane has signed on to play Superman's adoptive mom in the upcoming remake of the 'Superman: Man of Steel' franchise.
The 46-year-old actress was cast after Henry Cavill was chosen to portray Superman in Zack Snyder's remake. The search for the leading lady, Lois Lane still continues although it was rumored that 'Twilight' actress Kristin Stewart had role but turned it down when she decided to go after independent films.
There has been talk that Mila Kunis, Olivia Wilde, Diana Agron, Jessica Biel and Rachel McAdams have all been added to the list of possible actresses to take the role. Zack Snyder has directed such films as 'Dawn of the Dead', '300', 'Watchmen' and the soon to be released 'Sucker Punch'.
