That seventy’s Show and Friends with Benefits fame actress Mila Kunis is once again in the news, and not for just one, but for two different reasons. The first is her new Netflix release, Luckiest Girl Alive. The film was released on the streaming giant on September 30. And the second is Henry Cavill’s starrer film Man of Steel. The film, directed by Zack Snyder, was yet another attempt by the DC Universe to release a popular film on Clark Kent.

Man of Steel is one of those films that would create a path for other characters and films in the DCEU. It was preceded by the unsuccessful 2006 Superman Returns movie starring Brandon Routh. In 2011, Mila Kunis’s name was taken prominently for the role of Lois. But did the actress attend the auditions per the claims?
