Variety Studio has released a new “Actors on Actors” video interview in which Amy Adams and Andrew Garfield sit down opposite one another for a chat about playing the iconic roles of Lois Lane and Spider-man.
Amy Adams reveals that she never feels like she owns the role of Lois Lane, especially given the multitude of incarnations of the character that have come before hers.
“That’s the tricky thing with Lois, that I find is, I love playing her, I love everyone I work with, but sometimes it’s tricky because I feel she’s in service of the story instead of the story serving the character,” Adams said. “That sometimes can be tricky when you show up and you really wanna retain a character and you have to serve the story… in a perfect universe they all work together.”

The interview will air on PBS SoCal for Variety’s “Actor on Actors” Season 5, presented by The Venetian Las Vegas, which debuts on January 3, 2017.

I loved the film, but I only watch the UC because it has more Superman/Clark scenes (even though, technically, the movie is still primarily about him).
I don’t see Amy and Henry’s potential wasted. I just see them both in a state of development…
Well, while I enjoyed both movies, I’ve been very critical about how they haven’t given clark/Superman a lot to say in either film. There were moments where I thought it was essential he say something to add to his character/motivation/personality (he barely spoke to Zod or tried to talk him out of his plan in MOS and in BVS he spoke even less. During the courtroom scene I was expecting a lengthy monologue on his beliefs and values, but got nothing. Then, once again, he barely spoke to batman to diffuse the situation.). It just seems like they either don’t… Read more »
