Jesse Eisenberg on Playing a ‘Complicated’ Lex Luthor in Batman v Superman

Actor Jesse Eisenberg gave a shout-out to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice screenwriter Chris Terrio in a recent interview for helping him craft a villain in Lex Luthor that has psychological depth.

"There are some indications of how the character should behave based on the script, and then an actor makes it his or her own," the actor told Total Film.

Eisenberg added, "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."
