The actress said Snyder was very keen to make the character of Lois appear "real" and that included the color of her hair—as he believes a reporter wouldn't have time to bother dying their locks!
"So I think that he was interested in making his own stamp and not forcing some idea of who Lois was on the character and just letting her exist in this world of the film," Adams told Interview.

She went on to admit she sees a lot of herself in Lois.
"I've always really loved action films, but I don't see myself as a superhero girl, so my Lois is a mere mortal—full of imperfections. She's someone I identify with,' Amy said.
Man of Steel opens in the U.S. in wide release on Friday.
