Whether or not Lex Luthor Jnr turns out to be a Kryptonian, a cyber terrorist, a lackey to Darkseid, or less of an orphan than weve been led to believe, theres one thing we can be pretty certain of Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice wont be his only appearance in the DC Extended Universe. Indeed, some fan theorists are already suggesting that Jesse Eisenbergs Lex will make an appearance in David Ayers August 2016 villain team-up movie, Suicide Squad. If true, this would mark as far as this writers memory can confirm the first time the same villain, played by the same actor, had shown up in two separate live action comic book films in the same year. Its certainly not too much of a stretch to believe this one. If Lex ends up in custody at the end of Batman V Superman, a cameo or more in Suicide Squad is entirely plausible, not least because the eponymous squad of that movie is traditionally compiled of incarcerated bad guys. Or if Lex Luthor escapes imprisonment in Bats V Supes, maybe the US government will send the Suicide Squad after him. Either way, you can see how it would make narrative sense within the cross-pollenating DC universe to give Jesse Eisenberg a role in Suicide Squad. It hasnt been confirmed or denied yet, but it seems highly likely. What do you think about Jesse Eisenbergs Lex Luthor Jnr? Let us know your theories in the comments
