Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice actor Jesse Eisenberg has opened up about his portrayal of Lex Luthor in the film.
The Social Network star described his version of the iconic villain as a “complicated, challenging person” and revealed that he had some input in shaping the role.
He told Total Film: “There are some indications of how the character should behave based on the script, and then an actor makes it his or her own.
“I got to know one of the writers Chris Terrio, and we were able to discuss things at length and figure out who this person is to create a real psychology behind what is, perhaps, in a comic book, a less than totally modern psychology.
“I can only say I’ve been asked to play an interesting role. A complicated, challenging person.”
Directed by Man of Steel helmer Zack Snyder, Batman v Superman stars Henry Cavill as the Last Son of Krypton and Ben Affleck as Batman.
Man of Steel stars Amy Adams, Diane Lane and Laurence Fishburne will revist their roles, while Gal Gadot will play Wonder Woman.
Set for release in UK cinemas on 25th March, 2016, Batman v Superman will pave the way for Warner Bros’ upcoming superhero team-up project Justice League, which Snyder is also set to direct.
