Jesse Eisenberg Talks What Makes His Lex Luthor Different

In a recent interview with MTV Jesse Eisenberg is asked what makes his portrayal of Lex Luthor different in Zack Snyder's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Eisenberg says "It's a really great character. It was written by this guy, Chris Terrio know for films such as, ARGO. He's a phenomenal writer," Eisenberg seems to be excited and proud to be fufilling the role of Lex Luthor. He goes on to say "He comes from a place of character. He loves my character in the same way I love my character. He put a lot of work into it. It's a great character. There's an emotional core to character. It's not a silly villainous character."

MTV go on to ask if the fluffy haired Eisenberg had reflected on Gene Hackman's performance as Lex Luthor for inspiration. He responds "No, it is an entirely different thing," & "Also, the tone of that movies 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."
