No it's very unlikely. It's too simple for WB to just do a soft redux of Superman and keep Cavill. They're cowards.
shareAlso Adams is getting too old to play Lois Lane and Cavill would be forty in a few years, it just wouldn't work with them long term, writers would want to keep the characters young.
shareOld? 40's the new 30. RDJ was 43 when he was picked as Iron Man.
shareAmy Adams was born in 1974 so she is in her mid forties, when an actor goes over 50 they're not hired much anymore. Cavill is nine years younger but isn't getting any younger.
A character like Superman is bigger than the actor.
Adams actually looked like she was in her 20s all the day through her 30s, but now she looks around her real age. Or at least, she looks her real age when photographed by the cinematographer for "BvsS" and "JL", who for some reason made everyone look gray and baggy-eyed. Even Superman!
But yeah, she'll probably be replaced by someone younger, along with Cavill. These franchise films are made several years apart, so if a studio has planned 10 or 15 years worth of franchise films, they'll want to hire someone who will still look hot in 10 years.
I agree that Amy Adams is too old for the part. I'm surprised they didn't get an actress who is in Henry Cavill's age group to play the character. Casting an actress who is 9 - 10 years older than the lead will only cause issues for future films. If they actually did a trilogy in the following years, Amy's age difference would have become more apparent. I think that most people would have found that distracting. Adams also didn't have much chemistry with Cavill, as his love interest.
Jena Malone would have been a good choice. She actually was in the director's cut of BvS. If not her than someone else who's not much younger or older than Cavill.
