Warner Bros. announced on Thursday that Diane Lane has accepted the role of Martha Kent in the upcoming Superman film.
"Superman: Man of Steel," which will be directed by Zack Snyder (300) is expected to be released in December 2012 in theaters and IMAX.
Lane, 46, is the second person to commit to the film. Henry Cavil was given the role of Clark Kent/Superman in January.
Warner Bros. is attempting to reboot the series that fell flat after "Superman Returns" hit theaters in 2006. Though Snyder is directing, much of the creative input is coming from Christopher Nolan, who revived the Batman franchise with "Batman Begins" and "The Dark Knight." The third and final Batman film from Nolan, "The Dark Knight Rises," is scheduled to be released in July 2012.
Lane received nominations for an Academy Award, ad Golden Globe and a Screen Actors Guild Award in 2002 for her portrayal of a wife involved in a tryst in "Unfaithful."
Lindsay Lohan and Kevin Costner have also been rumored to join the film.
