8 Actors Who Were Sadly Wasted In DC Movies

As our previous lists of actors who were wasted in Marvel and X-Men movies proved, just because the comic book genre attracts some of the biggest names in Hollywood nowadays, it does not mean that they are used particularly well. In fact, we often see famous faces stuck in minor roles with the actors seemingly having signed on just to say they were in the film.

MAN OF STEEL

It seems that Amy Adams was destined to play the love interest of Superman. After auditioning for Lois Lane in both Superman Returns and Brett Ratner’s abandoned Superman: Flyby, as well as Smallville’s Lana Lang, Adams was finally cast as Lois in 2013’s Man of Steel. It would be nice, then, if the role she had been trying to get for the better part of her career actually gave her something to do.

Man of Steel made some innovative changes to Lois’ character, making her aware of Clark’s secret identity being a big one, but Adams is still often underused. Again, BvS is the worst offender, as Lois is stuck in a boring subplot about Lex Luthor’s special bullets and at various points is relegated to damsel in distress.

That film also hinted that Lois might have a tragic fate waiting for her, so it looks like we might be about to see even less of Adams’ Lois in the future.
