February 12, 2016: Jesse Eisenberg Talks About Playing Lex Luthor

Lex Luthor In a new interview with Playboy.com Jesse Eisenberg talks about playing Lex Luthor in "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice", his thoughts on the character, and what it was like working with Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck.

Here's what he had to say about the character and how he's portrayed in the upcoming movie...

    "The character is in line with what audiences want to see now, which is a more modern, psychologically realistic concept of Lex Luthor. His motivations are multifaceted; he has a way of using language that's specific to the way his mind works; he struggles with interesting philosophical dilemmas like that of the individual having too much power, even if that individual is using that power for good. For instance, Superman has so far been using his powers to do some good, but is it safe to have someone like that walking the streets? It's great that all of this happens in the context of a very exciting superhero movie.”
