May 19, 2014: Jesse Eisenberg Says Lex Luthor is a Great Character

In an interview on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Jesse Eisenberg spoke about his reasons for taking on the role of Lex Luthor in the upcoming Superman/Batman movie (although the amount of times he refers to Batman you'd think he didn't know Lex is actually a Superman villain).

    "The character is, luckily, a really great character," Eisenberg said told MTV News' Josh Horowitz on his Happy Sad Confused podcast. "Actors can sometimes find really cool things in characters that aren't written well. This character is written really well."

    A well-written Luthor has to make Superman fans excited, but is Eisenberg at all worried about all of the attention he'll get, and the press he'll have to do for a big blockbuster role, like Luthor?

    "For a movie like 'The Double or 'Night Moves,' arguably me doing interviews for it is much more important for it than doing an interview for Batman, because there's not that much money for posters," Eisenberg explained, "Whereas for Batman, if I was in a coma after it was filmed... So i don't really see it as that different."
