It was almost exactly a year ago when the announcement was made that Jesse Eisenberg would play Lex Luthor in Batman V Superman. While not quite matching the opprobrium that greeted Ben Affleck being cast as Batman, the decision to bring Eisenberg aboard received plenty of criticism from fans keen to see a Bryan Cranston or Joaquin Phoenix get the gig. As the (main but probably not only) villain of the piece, Luthor will undoubtedly feature in the first trailer proper for Dawn Of Justice. Try as they might, snoopers with long lenses have yet to spoil the reveal of Luthors famously bald noggin, and Eisenbergs head has literally been under wraps on set. Its not a great leap to imagine what Eisenberg will look like, but it would appear that the filmmakers have managed to keep this cat in the bag all the same. Luthors no doubt nefarious schemes, whatever they may be, also remain a mystery, and those looking forward to the movie will hope to find out more about this pivotal role soon enough.
