Stewart not offered 'Superman' role: rep

Kristen Stewart's publicist has slammed rumours she turned down the chance to play Lois Lane in the latest Superman reboot.

The Twilight actress was rumoured to be movie bosses' favourite to play the intrepid reporter in the new film opposite Brit Henry Cavill, who has been cast as the latest Man of Steel.

Reports suggested she decided to reject the part, but her rep insists the star never even had a meeting about appearing in the film.

The spokesperson tells People.com, "The fact is that she has not met (producers of) this film nor has she been approached for this film."

'Superman': Kristen Stewart Rumored for Lois Lane

'Superman': Kristen Stewart, Jessica Biel and Others Rumored for Lois Lane



We still don't know in which direction the new 'Superman' movie will head, with the exception of the fact that Henry Cavill will be playing Clark Kent / Superman. We've heard the film may follow Clark Kent as he travels the world as a journalist, trying to come to terms with his powers and whether he belongs in this world. We've also heard that Cavill may not be in the Superman suit at all, that folks behind the scenes have been testing an all-C.G. Superman that looks sorta like Christopher Reeve.

We've also heard buzz that Lois Lane won't be an integral part of the film. However, according to What's Playing, several ladies are currently being looked at for the role of Superman's main squeeze. Among the actresses mentioned (and we expect one of the trades to follow up on this once it spreads), we have Kristen Stewart, Jessica Biel, Malin Ackerman, Rachel McAdams and 'Glee' star Dianna Agron. Other names lingering around in Early Buzz World include Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Kristen Bell.

Considering Cavill isn't the biggest name, we expect Warner Bros. to populate the rest of the cast with more well-known actors and actresses, like Marvel did with 'Thor.' As far as this initial list goes, Warner has a big-budget/geeky history with McAdams ('Sherlock Holmes') and Ackerman ('Watchmen'), so we assume those two could be front-runners.

Henry Cavill is new Superman, almost starred in Twilight

British hunk Henry Cavill has been cast as the new Superman, Warner Brothers announced Jan. 30, 2011.

Cavill, 27, became famous for playing Charles Brandon on the hit Showtime series The Tudors from 2007 to 2010.

Hits the Gym Daily For Shirtless Scenes

The athletic 6'1" Henry, a former rugby player who retired due to injury, loves sports and has to work out regularly because he gains weight easily.

“I’m from a family of six men, so I’m bound to be physical,” Cavill has said.

"I don't go to the gym every day, but I'll tend to blast it for a couple of weeks before a shirtless scene."

Lost Twilight Role to Robert Pattinson

When it comes to film roles, Henry's biggest competition has been other British actors.

Cavill lost the role of Batman to Christian Bale and Spiderman to Andrew Garfield. He was also edged out for the role of Edward Cullen in Twilight by Robert Pattinson.

Interestingly, Henry was Twilight author Stephenie Meyer's top choice to play Edward, but film execs thought he looked too old to play a 17-year-old high school student.

The new Superman film, which will be directed by Zack Snyder and produced by Christopher Nolan (director of Inception and the Batman films), comes out in December 2012.

Other roles Henry is believed to have been passed over for include the lead in Batman Begins (which went to Christian Bale), Cedric in 2005 Harry Potter movie Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (which went to Robert Pattinson) and James Bond in Casino Royale (which went to Daniel Craig).
