Former Lois Lane star praises Amy Adams

Former Lois Lane actress Margot Kidder has endorsed her latest successor Amy Adams for the upcoming Superman picture.

Speaking to MTV, the veteran film star described Adams as a "brilliant, wonderful actress" and "an extraordinarily accomplished young lady".

"She's a brilliant, wonderful actress! She's incredible," Kidder said. "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."

Kidder portrayed Lois Lane in all four of the Christopher Reeve Superman movies. When asked what the key to playing the character is, she responded: "Gosh, I think Amy Adams is so much better an actress than I am that I wouldn't even for a second presume to give her any advice on the subject at all."

Adams was unveiled as the Man of Steel's love interest in Zack Snyder's movie reboot earlier this month. Acclaimed comic book writer Mark Millar has already spoken out in support of the casting .

Tentatively titled The Man Of Steel, the film is slated for release in December 2012.
