The first photo of Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is released!

The very first photograph of Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice has surfaced curtesy of Entertainment Weekly! This first photo doesn't show you much more than a picture of Eisenberg with a shaved head but I think Eisenberg definitely has the look of a younger Luthor. The photo comes from set photographer Clay Enos.

Speaking about ths particular Lex Luthor, director Zack Snyder stated,

"“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.”

“Our Lex is disarming and he’s not fake,” says Snyder. “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.”"

That is a pretty interesting description of Lex Luthor. It'll be exciting to see how his character unfolds in the film.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice will be in theaters on March 25, 2016.
