Jesse Eisenberg’s Lex Luthor was the mastermind pulling all the strings in “Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice” and by the end of the film it seemed like a foregone conclusion that he would be returning for “Justice League.” Eisenberg recently spoke to ShortList and he told them that Luthor will indeed be a part of “Justice League” and he hopes the character stays alive for a few films.
“They are filming (Justice League) now, and I jump in from August,” Eisenberg said.
Eisenberg admitted that he honestly doesn’t know much about the plot of “Justice League” but he expressed a lot of love for Lex Luthor and the cast he worked with on “Batman V Superman.”
“The character I play is so unusual and complicated. As an actor he’s everything you’d want to do. It’s very exciting for me to play that role. And, secondarily, it’s interesting to be in these massive, high-profile movies, because all the stuff around you as an actor is really good. You’re also acting with incredible actors. In the last movie I had lots of scenes with Holly Hunter, who has been one of my favourite actors since I was young. This all exists because this movie is so massive that they attract so many talented people, even in smaller positions. It was really special to me.”
“Justice League” hits theaters on November 17, 2017.
