Henry Cavill is Superman, Ben Affleck is Batman, Gal Gadot is Wonder Woman, Jason Momoa is Aquaman, and Jesse Eisenberg is Lex Luthor in Zack Snyder’s next superhero flick Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. Here’s our first look at the Social Network star’s villainous turn as Superman’s bald nemesis, provided by Entertainment Weekly. When it was first announced that Eisenberg would be portraying Lex, people were skeptical about him filling those particular shoes. Though we’re still waiting on his performance, this harrowing still should assuage fears about him pulling it off. That’s one intimidating dome. What do you think?
“He’s not any of the Lexes that you’ve seen, that’s for sure,” Snyder tells EW, “other than him being a captain of industry and one person to the world and another person to himself. And bald, of course. Our Lex is disarming and he’s not fake. He says what he believes and he says what’s on his mind. If you can unravel the string and decipher what he means, it’s all there.”
