While promoting his new film The Double, Jesse Eisenberg spoke with IGN
about playing Lex Luthor in Zack Snyder's Man of Steel sequel. In the interview
Eisenberg said that he wants to make the character different, without disappointing
the fans.
"I
guess it's up to them to figure out how much they want to separate it from
previous incarnations," he said. "But I will treat it like
it's its own role. There's no way to play the history of the character played
by other people, unless you do some kind of wink, but that doesn't seem like a
responsible way to act. So I will just do it as though it's a character, in the
same way you do a movie like The Double, which is a smaller movie -- but you just kind of treat it like a
character, and that's probably the best course of action, I think."
The actor then evaded the question of
whether he will be bald or not.
"I'm not allowed to say anything, because of their privacy."
And said why he chose to play the
character.
"The character's really good, so it's like doing anything else.
They make a lot of those movies, so if you're an actor in things, you will
probably cross paths with it at some point. But the character's written really
well. It's a really great role. The fact that it's in a big movie, you know, it
seems like a character that would be in any kind of movie. It just happens to
be in a bigger, flashier kind of thing."
Opening on May 6th, 2016,
Batman vs. Superman stars Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, Jesse
Eisenberg, Jeremy Irons, Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne, Diane Lane, Holly
Hunter, Callan Mulvey, Tao Okamoto and Ray Fisher.
