Jesse Eisenberg On Lex Luthor - "My Character Is A Megalomaniac"
"My character is a megalomaniacal, narcissistic guy who thinks he's saving humanity by destroying Superman - who he views as an alien invader who's here to wreak havoc at will."
Fair warning, this is a long, 27-minute interview. However, the plus side is that we really get to dive into Eisenberg's thoughts on Lex Luthor, Batman v Superman and superhero movies as a whole. As the latest actor from Dawn of Justice to feature on the AOL Build Interview series. Eisenberg discussed his character, fan backlash to his casting and what's next for Luthor in the DCEU. "My character is a megalomaniacal, narcissisticguy who thinks he's saving humanity by destroying Superman - who he views as an alien invader who's here to wreak havoc at will. Yes, claims to sometimes do good but actually he poses more of a threat because he has more power than anyone. I think of myself as the savior of humanity." If this is the Lex Luthor Zack Snyder is delivering to fans then this will be the truest depiction of comic book Lex Luthor to date.
