Jesse Eisenberg Wants To Reprise His Role As Lex Luthor

We'll get to see Jesse Eisenberg as Columbus, yet again, when Zombieland: Double Tap premieres this weekend. However, it seems like Eisenberg is interested to reprise another character of his, the infamous, Lex Luthor.

In a recent interview with Movieweb, Eisenberg was asked if he had desires to reprise his role as the villain from Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. The actor revealed that he was very much willing to do so. In fact, he is "1000 percent" sure in returning as Lex Luthor. "Ten full pies. Yeah, of course. Yeah. I loved it so much," the actor said.

Being a shy kid, Eisenberg was happy to play "a mean character with flamboyance" because he thinks that doing so would be "exhilarating." However, he doubts that he would do another movie. He doesn't even know if they're making one where he would be in it. He adds, "But no, I loved it. It was great. I'm so happy I got to do it. Ever."

Eisenberg's take on Lex Luthor was divisive among the audience. If you recall, the post-credit scene in Justice League showed a significantly different version of the villain. Just like the iconic characterization of the villain in the comics, Eisenberg's Luthor was bald. And he seems to be plotting an act of revenge.

His character was trying to assemble a group of people who could be the Legion of Doom or even the Injustice League. However, there was some mixed response which may result in this plotline to be sketched out.

For now, Eisenberg would return in Zombieland: Double Tap. But he is still in hopes of playing the iconic Lex Luthor, and would likely be accepting an offer for the role if he gets the chance.

Zombieland: Double Tap comes out on October 18.
