Amy Adams has bee praised by former Lois Lane actress Margot Kidder.
She's a brilliant, wonderful actress! She's incredible.
Adams has been cast in the role as Lane in Zack Snyder's reboot of the Superman franchise, which will star Henry Cavill in the title role.
Kidder played the role alongside Christopher Reeves' Superman and is delighted that Adams will be taking over the part.
Speaking to MTV Kidder said: "She's a brilliant, wonderful actress! She's incredible. She's an extraordinarily accomplished young lady - and gorgeous and full of energy and spirit.
"She's so different from part to part, it's going to be really interesting to see what she does with Lois."
Snyder is putting together an all star cast for the movie with Kevin Costner and Diane Lane in place to play Jonathan and Martha Kent.
Earlier this week it was hinted that The Lord of the Rings star Viggo Mortensen could also join the movie after dropping out of a Snow White project.
