New Delhi: Actress Amy Adams says she not only connects with her character Lois Lane's determination in the latest Superman reboot Man of Steel, but is also up to feature in its sequel.

"I think that one of the things I have in common with Lois is a lot of determination and going after something. I'm not going to let my peer get in the way of my pursuit," said Amy in en email-interaction from Los Angeles.

Adam portrays the superhero's love interest and fearless journalist Lois Lane in Zack Snyder directed reboot of the film.

Based on the DC Comics character Superman, the film, releasing here on June 14, features Henry Cavill in the lead. Actors Michael Shannon, Diane Lane, Kevin Costner, Laurence Fishburne and Russell Crowe all have supporting roles in the flick.

Asked her how did she think Man of Steel will help in moving the franchise forward and Adams said, ""It's so hard to say what the (audiences') reaction would be...I am part of the film and really happy to be part of it... they've found a wonderful truth in this version and they've set up beautiful storyline and I think Henry does a really great job."

"...I don't know if there'll be a sequel. It would be an honour to be involved if there is, but that's up to others," she said recalling her memories of watching Superman 2 with a group of girls when she was six years old.

Adams is perhaps also oblivious of the fact that the Man of Steel sequel has already been announced.She had a word of appreciation for her co-stars.

"He (Cavill) is genius casting, not just physically but he's also able to bring this humility and earnest quality that doesn't always go along with somebody who embodies the physical aspect of Superman," she said.

Amy made her big screen debut in the 1999 release Drop Dead Gorgeous, a black comedy, but her breakthrough role was in the 2005 independent film Junebug. She played Ashley Johnsten in the flick, for which she received critical acclaim and an Academy Award nomination in the best supporting actress category.

Quiz her if she still vies for a dream role, the actress said, "I've just been enjoying the journey. I turn out to be very pre-meditated in what I'm looking for. I knew I wanted to do a film of this nature.

The actress has a three-year-old daughter, Aviana, with fiance Darren Le Gallo and while shooting for the movie, she felt like "going away from her daughter".

"For anyone with a child, it's exhausting anywhere that you're working. It's a very strange thing. It's not something anyone can prepare you for. But I find that by spending the time working, I'm really bettering myself," she said.

Her total involvement in the film was about six months and Aviana used to visit her mom on the sets, but that didn't work out for long.

"I found myself going away from my daughter. It was such a long shoot. I was kind of going back and forth...," said the 38-year-old.

After leaving her daughter behind to complete the film, Amy was "guilt ridden and sad".

"And, I was like - 'How am I going to make it through six months of this?' So I really thought about what I could be doing with that time to better myself, whether reading mothering books or reading or going to the - just getting myself to a more centric place so that I can be a better mom when I wasn't around."

Has she seen any Bollywood film?"No, I have not been to India. I haven't seen a lot but I saw Bride and Prejudice. I had a friend who was in that, but that wasn't necessarily Indian. But it was close to being Indian," said Adams.
