Kristen Stewart Passed On Lois Lane Role In ‘Superman: Man Of Steel’?

There have been rumors circulating that Kristen Stewart read for the part of Lois Lane in the upcoming Superman: Man Of Steel.  Well, according to NY Daily News, Kristen turned down the role. 

According to a source close to Zack Snyder, director of the upcoming “Superman: Man of Steel,” K.Stew recently met with the filmmaker and his wife, Deborah – who’s a producer on the film with Christopher (“Inception”) Nolan – to discuss her taking the role of Lane.

The meeting could not have lasted long. The source says Stewart “ultimately passed” on being cast as the intrepid Daily Planet reporter who works alongside Clark Kent and becomes Superman’s love interest.

Our source, who works with Snyder, says the director did not offer Stewart the role, but had “definite” interest in her playing the quick-thinking brunette.

Stewart, however, had specific reasons for turning down the part. The source says the intense-eyed actress, whose rumored involvement with “Twilight” co-star Robert Pattinson set the media swooning, was “caught off guard” by the success of that film franchise and wasn’t ready to leap into a similar situation just yet. Instead, the source said, Stewart professed an interest in “smaller, independent films.” (Stewart’s spokeswoman said only that she “did not read for the part” and declined to elaborate.)

Legitimate reasons, perhaps, but our source says Snyder was left feeling “slighted” by Stewart and that the awkward beauty had “wasted his time.”  Snyder, whose résumé includes “300,” is also reportedly considering Jessica Biel, “Glee’s” Dianna Agron, Rachel McAdams, Malin Akerman and Mila Kunis  for the role of Lane. (On Sunday, Warner Bros. said that Brit Henry Cavill, best known for his role as Charles Brandon, First Duke of Suffolk, in Showtime’s “The Tudors,” would play Superman (and alter ego Clark Kent.)

Granted, there is no confirmation on this, expect for Kristen did not read for the Lois Lane role.   

Good!  LOL!   Love that she’s into smaller independent films.   Henry Cavill was Stephenie Meyer’s Edward.
