Actress Natalie Portman might be roped in to play the female lead in new Superman movie. The 29-year-old might be joining actresses Kate Bosworth and Teri Hatcher to play Superman Clark Kent's love interest,  journalist Lois Lane. Filmmaker Darren Aronofsky would be directing the new film, reports contactmusic.com.

"They wanted her (Portman) first time around, this time they can get her - with Darren. But who knows where that's at now. ...nothing on paper yet," said a source.

Aronofksy and Portman recently teamed up for the thriller Black Swan, which sees the actress playing a New York ballet dancer.
