Last week, we learned that Zack Snyder's Justice League will be released on HBO Max in 2021, and excitement to see that alternate cut of the DC Comics adaptation is at an all-time high.
Someone you might be surprised to hear express their anticipation for the movie, however, is Jesse Eisenberg. While the actor has frequently shown support for Snyder, he's admitted that he doesn't really know much about the "Snyder Cut" and never even saw the threatrical version because he doesn't enjoy watching his performances back.
"I spoke to Zack a couple of weeks ago and he told me about it," Eisenberg tells Digital Spy. "Yeah [I'm excited], because I'm friends with Zack. I'm so happy for him that he gets to release something he's proud of."
"I mean, I can't think of any other precedent in history where there was something of this scope," the actor continued. "Because it's not just about releasing the movie, but it required all of this... we call it post-production. So it's not just they're releasing scenes that are finished, they had to do a lot of post-production and it's such a big process. And yeah, I'm so happy for him."
"He's a great guy with a very, very specific vision and so, yes, I'm happy that he gets that. And he seemed really happy."
Joe Manganiello has hinted that Justice League's post-credits scene was once much different, so that's presumably where we'll see more of Eisenberg's work as Lex Luthor as it's likely he was hiring Deathstroke to take out Batman.
Are you guys excited to see more of the villain in Zack Snyder's Justice League next year?
