Comment on Jesse Eisenberg Says Lex Luthor Role 'Hurt My Career in a Real Way'

Tech bros are the current rich villain archetypes because they are in real life and Jesse played one in The Social Network.

I wouldn’t be surprised if that was a factor in his casting as Luthor.

This. I thought he was the perfect villain. And it wasn’t until after I was halfway though that I realized it was because he played Zuch. L

Basically the same character, and he’s perfect at it.

  No, his Zuch was a calm and callous jerk who screwed over anyone he could to come out ahead.
  
  His Luthor was like his characters in Zombieland, Adventureland, and Now You See Me.

    Yeah, real calm and calculating, not spastic Eisenberg.

True. I don’t love that for the character though.

  His Luthor was fucking terrible, just his generic spastic character.
