It's been confirmed today that Grimm alum Elizabeth Tulloch has been cast as Lois Lane in this year's Arrowverse crossover. That's set to kick off on December 9th with The Flash before things move to Arrow and Supergirl over the next couple of nights. The plan is to introduce Ruby Rose's Batwoman to this shared DC Universe and both Superman and Lois Lane have been confirmed for quite a while now.
Tulloch's other credits include Concussion and Parkland, a movie she starred in alongside Tom Welling!
Tulloch is now the latest actress to play the character on television. Among the most notable are Teri Hatcher in Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman and Erica Durance on Smallville. Amy Adams has obviously portrayed the intrepid reporter in the DC Extended Universe films but her future as the character is now very much up in the air seeing as Henry Cavill has now decided to hang up his cape.
The actress took to Instagram to share her excitement so here's hoping we see a lot of her from here.
Excuse me while I fangirl for a moment: I am so excited (thank you Warner Brothers, the CW, DC Comics, @gberlanti, @davidrapaport, Jessica Queller et al) to be playing the iconic Lois Lane on the Arrowverse crossover episodes. And I can’t wait to work with my friend @dpanabaker and of course @tylerhoechlin 😉 When I started acting, one of my teachers asked me to watch the screen tests for the role of Lois Lane for 1978’s Superman. All of the actresses were terrific, but it was always clear to me why Margot Kidder won the role: she seemed lit from within, full of joie de vivre. Now, at a time when the noble profession of journalism feels under siege, it’s a privilege to join the club of actresses who have played the dogged reporter. As far back as 1938 when she first appeared in Action Comics #1, Lois Lane has defied and subverted society’s expectations of how women should behave. She was portrayed as opinionated, inquisitive, and an unapologetically badass career woman at a time when many representations of women leaned more towards meek and demure. One of the reasons the character has remained so compelling for the last 80 years is that she has all these formidable, strong-willed qualities, but she’s also vulnerable, romantic, and feminine. A truly modern woman. ❤️
