Jesse Eisenberg discusses how he felt his role as Lex Luthor in ‘Batman v Superman’ negatively impacted his career while appearing on 'Armchair Expert.

Good observation. It made it clear that he’s a fucking stupid mook that can only play one needlessly verbose pretentious skinny dork character.
We’ll call you when we need a pretentious skinny dork, Jesse!
And if Michael Cera is too busy at the time.
Why are you so angry?
He also wrapped filming on Now You See Me 3.
theres the real career killer. 2 was so awful, and youre going to make a 3rd??
I hate being reminded that these movies exist. Wow, a film about fake magicians doing fake tricks with CGI, awesome.
At least make them real wizards, cowards.
I also weirdly hate these movies without actually properly watching them myself. The execution is just so stupid. I like the idea of it, illusionists robbing stuff. I was expecting it to be like Ocean’s Eleven where it convinces me that their plan is actually feasible, but none of the tricks make any sense whatsoever.
I watched only the first one ages ago. I barely remember it. I think the “twist” was that the main detective chasing the group was actually in on the heist? I remember being annoyed because it was the sort of thing where the audience wasn’t allowed to figure it out themselves and it was more of a random last minute reveal.
I feel like you have to just because everyone knows the second film in a series sucks, but the 3rd one can sometimes be better than the first. Like with Die Hard. First one is good, second one is shit, 3rd is arguably the best in the series.

That’s quite an opinion.
Same with back to the future, 1 was amazing, 3 is amazing, 2 was awful.
Being one of the worst parts of an already horrible movie will do that.
It was a combo of not the right actor, the direction, and everything about it though. Especially the writers, director, and producers.Reminds me of Ryan Reynolds in Green Lantern
I dunno, I still think Reynolds did a good job in the movie. The script was bad to meh, but he carried off Hal very well imo
He most certainly did not carry anything in that movie. Script was trash, the effects were trash and yes, believe it or not, Ryan’s acting was beyond trash in that.
It’s OK, actors just suck at their job sometimes like anyone else but I am exhausted with people blatenly ignoring how god damn awful his performance was in GL. He was just as much a problem as every other thing in it. The film has exactly zero redeeming qualities, including him.
Dude, I’m not sure why this is a pet peeve for you, but I’m not interested in being ranted at. It’s rude.
You’re absolutely right. I could have approached that better.
I do apologize.
much appreciated :)
What a hyperbole, you clearly haven’t seen horrible movies if you think BvS is one, especially the extended cut, you can disagree with it’s direction but it’s in no way a horrible movie, Suicide Squad is a horrible movie, Star Wars episode 9 is a horrible movie.
99% of Asylum stuff are horrible movies.
BvS is just a meh movie, but then for me, so is most of the MCU, watch one time, then forget about it.
Episode 9 and GoT season 8 (well season 5-8 in hindsight)makes me actively mad when thinking about them, those are horrible pieces of media
Yes, your opinion is more correct than my opinion…
Maybe if he didn’t just copy Ledger’s Joker and behaved anything like Lex Luthor he’d have been better received.
Hollywood needs to wake up and let Billy Zane play Lex Luthor like he was always meant to.
Or Mark Strong, even Stanley Tucci would be awesome
Danny De Vito
Joe Rogan?
Isn’t Lex Luthor is supposed to be really smart?
Nah they really need Michael Cera
Zane would be amazing but I gotta say I would love to see a Stephen Tobolowsky Lex Luthor
He was, and always has been, a tedious actor to watch.
Wtf does that even mean?
I laughed way too hard at this
He’s not a good actor. Not interesting. Boring to watch. He has zero talent in the thespian realm.
In short, I generally don’t like the films he is in.
Just my opinion
I thought he played Zuckerburg incredibly well. Honestly I do. However, I realized later that’s because he has the same super awkward mannerisms as Zuckerberg, and I don’t think he was really doing much acting in that movie. Everything else he’s been in I’ve thought he was awkward and a bad cast
He plays Zuck so well that he just decided to keep doing it over and over.
Zombieland = post-apocalyptic Zuck
BvS = Batzuck
Rio = Flying Zuck
…
I agree with this. He was only good in that single movie.
Im over here trying to remember if Lex Luthor was even in that movie. That’s how forgettable he was.
He was super hyper and awkward in that movie. The scene with the candy was just… Bad.
Luther needs to be calm and collected. A man of charm and charisma. And towering rage when his plots and plans fail.
Luther cannot be an autistic man child who puts candy in other people’s mouth. That’s exactly the wrong take.
How I feel about Colin Ferrell. How tf he got cast as Alexander the fu**ing Great will always baffle me
Hard disagree
what movies would you say are great because of him?
The Banshees of Inisherin, In Bruges, he also does a great Penguin
I think he’s a very good actor. This was a bad movie, and the part didn’t suit him, and he played it bad. Only worst villan role was Paul Giamatti in Rock and Rolla making bugs bunny jokes. His roles need to stay within nerdy limits.
I guess I’m the only one that liked this movie?
That’s likely the case
Leonardo DiCaprio advice Timothy Chalemet was “No hard drugs and no superhero movies.”
Dune isn’t a super hero film. It’s a space opera based on a series of Novels.
Super Hero films are typically based on comic book stories from the likes of Marvel / DC / Dark Horse.
Bro the dude has psychic powers, he’s pretty close
And then he did Dune.
How do you confuse Dune with a superhero movie.
Do you consider the Lord of the rings or Star Wars superhero movies?
No confusion at all. Frank Herbert wrote Paul as a superhero white savior. It’s the point of the entire story. I think people are thinking that I am criticizing the movie or his acting. But I’m only commenting on the fact that he was told not to do a superhero movie and then played a superhero in a story.
