Entertainment Weekly has given us our first look at the newest iteration of Lex Luthor, played by Jesse Eisenberg.
The infamous supervillian and foe of Superman, will be unlike any other version of Lex Luthor, director Zack Synder tells Entertainment Weekly.
“He’s not any of the Lexes that you’ve seen, that’s for sure,” says Snyder, “other than him being a captain of industry and one person to the world and another person to himself. And bald, of course.
“Our Lex is disarming and he’s not fake,” says Snyder. “He says what he believes and he says what’s on his mind. If you can unravel the string and decipher what he means, it’s all there.”
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice will hit theaters March 25, 2016.
I really hope they go with the whole “Lex Luthor, I’m the real good guy, Superman is an alien” thing rather than “cackle cackle I’m a bad guy.”
