The famous Jesse Eisenberg that has been casted in many well-known roles has now been casted as Lex Luthor. Yes you would already know about that. But when Jesse Eisenberg was casted as the main anarchist, there were a lot of questions and head scratching about Jesse Eisenberg’s role. But if you look closely enough, he fits in the role. Leaving aside the question of whether Lex Luthor having hair or not.
Jesse Eisenberg has an intelligence that reads onscreen not to mention the fact that he can really play entitled and angry. He recently spoke about his role in the movie. Although he did not have much to say, but what he did say make me more confident about his role in the upcoming Batman v Superman.
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is currently filming in Detroit under the direction of Zack Snyder for a March 2016 release. This is what he had to say about his character.
“There are some indications of how the character should behave based on the script, and then as actor makes it his or her own. I got to know one of the writers, Chris Terrio, and we were able to discuss things at length and figure out who this person is to create a real psychology behind what is, perhaps, in a comic book, a less than totally modern psychology. I can only say I’ve been asked to play an interesting role. A complicated, challenging person.”
Jesse Eisenberg has apparently not seen many other comic book movies, not even The Dark Knight. Though in researching this particular part he did “that movie with Gene Hackman”. He said:
“I realize how popular comic-book movies are, and now, working on one, I realise why they’re popular – the story is really good, the dialogue is really good, the artistry behind every department is high, the acting is really good. So if they’re all put together with that level of quality…”
Jesse Eisenberg also talked about the high security measures being taken to prevent script leaks:
“They asked me if I wanted to play the part before they sent me the script. I’m not sure how it worked, but it’s something I read with the understanding that I could do the role… You know, they don’t just hand the scripts out. But I really liked it on its own terms. I would do it if it was for free and it was tiny.”
