Talking in a recent interview to promote Now You See Me 2, Jesse Eisenberg told MTV News about how he's stayed out of the loop when it comes to the critical response to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. However, he doesn't really seem to care too much about what critics thought as the actor goes on to point out that his friends and parents loved it! Regardless, when the interviewer quizzed him about Lex Luthor's apparent allegience with Darkseid, Eisenberg went on to add: "It's a very complicated mythology that I was able to wrap my head around while we were filming, but I think there were certain editorial choices that I was not aware of that they put in retroactively."

So, is that confirmation of a Lex/Darkseid team-up or not? I'm not sure, but it sounds like even he wasn't told about who his character was communicating with! To hear more from the actor on his return to this world and why he intends to keep playing Lex, check out the interview in full above. If recent (and not so recent) rumours are to be believed, we'll likely see him in Suicide Squad this August.

Awesome. Can't wait to see where they take Lex from here, hoping he gets a quick cameo at Belle Reve
