Jesse Eisenberg Looks Pretty Awesome As Lex Luthor...Yes, Jesse Mark Zuckerberg Eisenberg

 

EW - And now we have our first glimpse of Jesse Eisenberg as one of comics’ greatest bad guys: Lex Luthor. “He’s not any of the Lexes that you’ve seen, that’s for sure,” says Snyder, “other than him being a captain of industry and one person to the world and another person to himself. And bald, of course.” Eisenberg might not be the first person you’d think of to play the supervillain, but he did have experience portraying a morally challenged billionaire in The Social Network.

 

I remember now that a while back they announced Jesse Eisenberg was going to play villain Lex Luthor and the Internet nerds went crazy. I actually really like when people are cast in movies sort of outside-the-box. For example the first one that comes to my head is how Mike Myers crushed it in Inglorious Basterds. Actually an even better example is how motherfucking Jonah Hill went from the fat kid in Superbad to Oscar nominated actor in Hardball and Wolf of Wallstreet. So now we see a pic of Mark Zuckerberg as Lex Luthor and although I’m not really much of a comic book guy, at all, I’m really intrigued. He killed it in Zombieland and in Social Network, so why wouldn’t he kill it in the Superman movies? Him looking like he’s ready for the American History X sequel is pretty sick. Though it would be really funny if he looks all hard and the nerds are all excited and then he still talks a million miles a minute in the movie because he literally cannot shake the Mark Zuckerberg character.
