Keep in mind, these are our suggestions for who Zach Snyder and Christopher Nolan should cast. We're not saying we have any info that they're up for the role.
Rashida Jones (The Office, I Love You Man, Parks & Recreation)The more I think about it, the more I really like this pick. She's definitely the oldest one on our list, but I think it's good if she's a little older than Clark Kent. She's very attractive, but you can actually buy her as a reporter who might win a Pulitzer some day.
Rachel McAdams (The Notebook, Mean Girls, Sherlock Holmes)Rachel is supposedly on the actual shortlist, and she's the only one on that list we really like. She's a great actress, and like Rashida she's a bit older than Henry Cavill and very believable as a newspaper reporter.
Olivia Wilde (The O.C., House, Tron: Legacy)She wasn't on the initial "short list", but I'm reading more stories today that she might actually be the front-runner. She's a bit younger than Cavill, but she doesn't look like a college student. Bonus: according to Wikipedia, both of her parents are journalists, so she would already have tons of material for her character.
Kristen Bell (Veronica Mars, Heroes, Forgetting Sarah Marshall)This pick was my contribution. She's the only one on our list who isn't brunette in every day life, but they can fix that with movie magic (here's a pic of her as Slave Leia to prove it). She'd be completely believable as a serious reporter, and she's also a few years older than Cavill.
Natalie Portman (Star Wars, V for Vendetta, Black Swan)This one isn't going to happen. She's already going to be playing a major character in Marvel's Thor this spring, and she's probably going to win an Oscar pretty soon. I doubt she's going to sign up for another movie franchise. That being said, she's an incredible actress and has tons of geek cred, so this would be a big boost for the project, not that it needs it.
