Jesse Eisenberg Talks ‘Suicide Squad’ and ‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’ Lex Luthor [SPOILERS]

It seems that new details about Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad are being leaked everyday. For the most part, Jesse Eisenberg (The Social Network, Zombieland) has been fairly quiet about his role as Lex Luthor. Now the star is opening up about what we can expect and praising the film’s writer Chris Terrio.

Lex Luthor himself Jesse Eisenberg recently sat down with MTV where he opened up about Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, singing the praises of script writer Chris Terrio (Argo) (transcribed via Heroicuniverse.com):

“I like what this writer does, this guy Chris Terrio. He wrote this movie we did and I just think he’s so great. He’s such a good writer. I like what he does with characters, I like what he does with wordplay and cleverness. I like anything he writes.”

Eisenberg went on to discuss some of the details of the character, adding:

“It’s a really great character that’s written by this guy, Chris Terrio, he’s a phenomenal writer. He loves my character in the same way I love my character. He put a lot of work into it. It’s a great character, there’s an emotional core to the character. It’s not this silly, villainous character. This is a real depiction of a person who thinks these things. So the challenge is to make it seem real.”
