Though not as infatuated
for the character as some, I'm still eager to see what writer Chris Terrio,
director Zack Snyder, and actor Jessie Eisenberg have done with Lex Luthor, who
is usually portrayed as a power hungry mad man with a chip on his shoulder
called Superman.
Well, speaking to
MTV (via Playlist), Eisenberg revealed that unlike the campy, and almost cartoonish version
played by Gene Hackman in Richard Donner's Superman, his Lex Luthor has more
shadings to him.
"There’s an
emotional core to character. It’s not a silly villainous character," the actor told MTV. "…it is an entirely different thing. Also, the tone of that
[‘Superman’] movie is so different, like that movie wouldn’t be made now. Like
the way we expect movies to be now is to have some kind of — I mean, it’s
probably for the best — there’s some kind of psychological accuracy. That the
person is coming from a place probably diagnosable in some way."
Batman v Superman:
Dawn of Justice opens on March 25, 2016.
