Entertainment Weekly has released the first official photo of Academy Award-nominee Jesse Eisenberg as Superman's mastermind nemesis Lex Luthor, who will be appearing in next year's highly anticipated Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice, which will actually be hitting theaters one year from today.
According to director Zack Snyder, Eisenberg's portrayal of Luthor is unlike any on-screen portrayal of the villain. Eisenberg himself has said that Lex is "a complicated, challenging person." He's also said that he and Oscar-winning screenwriter Chris Terrio (Argo) worked together "to create a real psychology behind what is, perhaps, in a comic book, a less than totally modern psychology."
Here's the photo...
I have to be honest. I was really skeptical about Eisenberg portraying Lex Luthor since it was announced early last year. I think he's a fantastic actor but this young, fast-talking guy as Lex Luthor?! Hmm... I didn't think he was the choice at first, but now after seeing this photo, my mind has changed. I think he's going to be great as Lex Luthor. The photo shows that he's going to be imitating, villainous and intriguing. Actually, just see Columbus from Zombieland and Mark Zuckerberg from The Social Network with a bald head... that's scary. Haha. But, yeah, I think he's going to nail this role, perfectly!
Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice also stars Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne, Diane Lane, Jason Momona, Ray Fisher, Jeremy Irons and Holly Hunter. The film will be released in theaters on March 25, 2016.
