Jesse Eisenberg Thinks He’s Coming Back for Justice League

Jesse Eisenberg thinks he’s coming back for Justice League 

Production is already underway for Warner Bros.‘ upcoming Justice League Part One and the cast has continued to grow as cameras roll. One character, however, that we don’t know for sure about is Jesse Eisenberg’s Lex Luthor, who had some cryptic words at the end of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice that appeared to set up the 2017 film.

Speaking on a panel at MCM Comic Con in London, Eisenberg was asked if he’s returning for the film, but he’s not even sure himself.

“They just started filming Justice League so I’m kind of waiting for my crack at it… I think so, and I love it and I love everybody, it’s a really talented group of people obviously, so I certainly hope to be in it.”

One character we know will return is Jeremy Irons’ Alfred Pennyworth. The actor spoke with Event magazine about the reaction to Batman v Superman and promised that the next film will be “simpler.”

“Deservedly so,” Irons said about the mixed reaction to the film. “I mean it took £800 million, so the kicking didn’t matter, but it was sort of overstuffed… It was very muddled. I think the next one will be simpler. The script is certainly a lot smaller, it’s more linear.”

Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill and Gal Gadot will be reprising their roles as the DC Trinity, Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman in Justice League, and joining them are Jason Mamoa as Aquaman, Ray Fisher as Cyborg, and Ezra Miller as The Flash. Amber Heard is set to play Queen Mera in the film as well before moving to the solo Aquaman movie in 2018, with Willem Dafoe appearing in a mystery role, and J.K. Simmons playing Commissioner Gordon.

Justice League will debut in theaters on November 10, 2017.

Zack Snyder Says "There's No Winning Anymore For Superman" In BATMAN V SUPERMAN

Zack Snyder recently spoke to DC All Access about the public's perception of Superman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Batman's point of view, and Jesse Eisenberg's portrayal of Lex Luthor...

It's been nearly three years since Man of Steel hit theaters and with Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice taking place nearly two years after the Battle of Metropolis, the world has had some time to get used to an alien as their superhero. During that time, Superman has done the best he can to show the world that he's there to protect them from any threat. Director Zack Snyder spoke to DC All Access about the challenges Superman has had to face since the events of Man of Steel.

"Over the last two years he's basically been Superman as pop culture would know him. He's been righting wrongs, there have been floods, mines have collapsed, bridges have collapsed, churches have caught on fire. He's basically been a hero. When we find him, he's been dealing with the everyday world of being a superhero, but there's a paradigm shift happening in that the unintended consequences of some of those rescues are starting to come into fruition. He's starting to see that every action has a reaction. Like, if you're just taking a cat out of a tree, you can't touch anything or the arborists will say, 'He damaged the tree branch when he got the cat down.' Or, 'The cat wasn't neutered, so now there's thousands of cats.' There's no winning anymore for Superman."

There is no doubt that fans of Superman found his actions questionable in Man of Steel and director Zack Snyder made sure to use that to his advantage. Snyder went on to talk about the public's perception of the Man of Steel and Batman's point of view.

"It's interesting to see how Batman perceives Superman, because he doesn't know who Superman is. All he knows is the public face of Superman. And if you have an idea about someone or if you start to doubt someone's intentions, you can always read in the media, you can always see the face that you want to see, based on how it's reported. Batman's seen the destruction of Metropolis. That's the thing he knows for a fact. So if thousands die, is that okay? What's next? Millions? Is everyone okay with that? Because I'm not. That's Batman's point of view."

The casting of Jesse Eisenberg as Superman's arch nemesis shocked the comic book movie community and even now Eisenberg is seen as an odd choice by some, but Snyder is convinced that Jesse's portrayal of Lex will impress us all.

"Jesse's done a really cool job with Lex in making him contemporary and multi-dimensional. He's smart, he's difficult to place, he's all the things you want from a villain, in the sense that when you think you've got him figured out, he reveals something else about him."
