A few weeks ago, Jesse Eisenberg teased the return of Lex Luthor in Zack Snyder's Justice League, and now he's confirmed that he is set to shave his hair off again later this August. During a recent interview with ShortList, Eisenberg spoke about returning as the Man of Steel's arch-nemesis, and his future in the DC Film Universe as the power-hungry billionaire.

“They are filming (Justice League) now, and I jump in from August," said Eisenberg. "I loved the character and it was the most fun I’ve ever had at playing a role, and most challenging, in a great way, and most rewarding. I would love to play it for years. The character I play is so unusual and complicated. As an actor he’s everything you’d want to do. It’s very exciting for me to play that role. And, secondarily, it’s interesting to be in these massive, high-profile movies, because all the stuff around you as an actor is really good. All the artists are really great, so you walk on to a set and it’s the most-detailed, comprehensive set, and as an actor it really fills in your imagination in a special way. You’re also acting with incredible actors. In the last movie I had lots of scenes with Holly Hunter, who has been one of my favorite actors since I was young. This all exists because this movie is so massive that they attract so many talented people, even in smaller positions. It was really special to me. The most exciting part was to play such an interesting character and I certainly hope he stays alive throughout the next few films.”

The ending to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice left fans speculating as to how much of a role Lex Luthor would play in the upcoming Justice League film after his encounter with the Dark Knight, and his warning of the impending arrival of an unknown being. It's most likely that Lex will be a supporting character, helping build up the arrival of the mysterious being that was seen in the deleted Communion scene. Until then, all we can do is wait and see. Are you excited to see Jesse Eisenberg return as Lex Luthor in Justice League?

I hope we find out Willem is playing his dad.



Seeing Lex and Lex Jr. going after each other would be fun to watch.

According to the ultimate cut, Lex has been playing everyone, pretending that he's crazy. That way, he can't be convicted by a court of law, especially since there are witnesses (at his party) that he was acting a little off.

Of course, he learns that Bats has made other arrangements for him.

LOL.

@Battabing - do you think he ended in Belle Reve? God I hope we see him in his cell in Suicide Squad

Great. More mustache-twirling nonsense. They might as well be playing the "Otis music," every time he's on.



One of the posters on the video, Tiago Vieira, even says this! LOL!

hopefully they listen to criticisms, recognize what was wrong and make the appropriate adjustments. Oh who am I kidding this is Zack Snyder.
