‘Batman v Superman’ Villain Jesse Eisenberg Calls Role ‘Intimidating’ and an ‘Honor’
— -- Jesse Eisenberg is reveling in his new role as iconic Lex Luthor in the highly-anticipated “Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice.”
“It was both intimidating and a great honor because the role was really wonderful, "Eisenberg told "Good Morning America" co-anchor Amy Robach. "With a character like that...the challenge of it is to kind of provide this evil character with a real emotional, personal center."
Not only does Eisenberg admit it’s "fun" playing a villain, but the actor said it was even more enjoyable going up against co-stars Henry Cavill as Superman and Ben Affleck as Batman.
“I got to take out all these feelings in high school…like being around the football team and not getting to scream at them and also forcing them to wear capes,” Eisenberg joked. “Those are my two dreams and in this movie I got to accomplish both of them.”
“Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice” will be released in theaters March 25.
