Kunis recently joined Josh Horowitz’s podcast Happy Sad Confused and put an end to all rumors of auditioning for the Lois Lane party.
Mila Kunis has dispelled all the rumors that she ever auditioned for the role of Lois Lane before Man of Steel. In 2011, the actor was rumored to be shortlisted for the iconic role of Clark Kent’s love interest, along with household names like Rachel McAdams and Olivia Wilde. After all the speculation, it was ultimately Amy Adams who got the part.

What finally happened to Superman: Man of Steel
In the end, it was Amy Adams, another powerhouse, who took on the infamous role of Lois Lane. While Snyder’s Man of Steel received quite a bit of criticism when it hit theaters, the feature ended up being a box-office success, earning a total of nearly $700 million worldwide. The successful venture did open the doors for other major DC Universe films, such as Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and Shazam!, all of which earned significant box office numbers.
While her performance as Lois Lane was met with mixed reactions from the audience, Adams went on to give life to the intrepid reporter in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League.
