August 14, 2015: Jesse Eisenberg on the "Psychological Reality" of Lex Luthor

Lex Luthor In an interview with the Detroit Free Press to promote his new movie "The End of the Tour", Jesse Eisenberg spoke briefly about his role as Lex Luthor in the upcoming "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice".

    In June, Eisenberg told MTV that the Lex Luthor written for "Batman v Superman" would not be "this silly, villainous character."

    "It's probably a very contemporary portrayal because there's some kind of psychological reality to it. I think that's a very contemporary idea," he says now. "We can go to see a movie, even one as theatrical as a superhero movie and there's some kind of psychological reality to even the villainous characters."

    He's not very chatty about surface aspects of the character, like his long hair in the "Batman v. Superman" trailer (as opposed to the stark bald character photo of Luthor previously released). Are people asking him about that? "Not yet, you're the first of the day, so maybe this is the ominous cloud of things to come," he quips.
