30 Actors Who Almost Starred In A DC Movie

9. Scarlett Johansson - Lois Lane

Long before Zack Snyder€™s Superman movie Man Of Steel began gearing up for release -and even before Bryan Singer€™s 2006 film Superman Returns €“ Star Trek Into Darkness director J.J. Abrams had an idea €“ and even a script €“ for a movie about the origins of Clark Kent, which was tentatively titled Superman: Flyby. One of the key casting choices that was decided upon was that the future Black Widow herself, Scarlett Johansson, would be playing everyone€™s favorite journalist Lois Lane. The film was scrapped whilst still in production and a few years later we got Superman Returns. This isn't the first memorable role Johansson has missed out on over the years. Other notable roles include: Lisbeth Salander in The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, Fantine in Les Misérables and most recently, Dr. Ryan Stone in Alfonso Cuarón's Gravity. Though, it's probably safe to say that these type of things don't bother her much.
