Now that we've had an official look at Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor as he will appear in the much-anticipated Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (and Suicide Squad), the actor recently discussed his "terrifying" transformation while on the Late Night with Seth Meyers show. "I've never been able to touch my scalp," Eisenberg said of cutting his hair for the first time. "Yes it's freezing. It's really strange. You know, it's the kind of thing where you feel like 'I can really damage myself.' You wanna wear a helmet. It's terrifying, it's terrifying." Later during the interview, Meyers brought up an old Batman v Superman set photo featuring Jesse Eisenberg covering with a head covering. "You'd think there would be something more threatening than the floral arrangement [on my head]. Everything is like shrouded in secrecy and the people are shrouded in bandannas. You know, Superman, Henry Cavill, in like baggy sweatpants." Watch the full interview below.
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice stars Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, with Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne, Diane Lane, Jesse Eisenberg, Jeremy Irons, and Holly Hunter. The film, written by Chris Terrio from David S. Goyer's screenplay, and directed by Zack Snyder, hits March 25, 2016!
