Jeremy Irons will play Alfred .... Not too bad I guess.

[GolfPants]

Jeremy Irons is awesome. I don't get the Eisenberg casting at all. Will be interdasting to see how it turns out.

Young lex who's father owns the company and throughout the movie he is corrupted into villainy and taking over.

[BrocepCurls]

Sick choice for alfred, but wtf at this lex luthor. I thought it was going to be bryan cranston

I could see that

More and more, this is reeking of Smallville-ness.

tons of Smallville nods in MoS.

[LtGoose]

This is just as bad as Affleck playing Batman.



WTF is wrong with the world

[ISean23]

I thought it was going to be bryan cranston

would have been a way better pick.

[ShortMonster]

I dont think its gonna be too bad. Shave his head, hell be good to go lol..Dunno how the acting part will turn out tho, ive only ever seen him play rolls where he talks like a speed demon everytime.

[bongowongo]

Inb4 Ben Stiller cast as The Joker :P

[Wolvuk]

das not it mane

I want Heisenberg not Eisenberg. Bryan Cranston would have killed it.

[GrinDaddy]

I always confuse him with Michael Cera

[TheApathy]

Jessie Eisenberg? Are you fuking serious? What happened to Joaquin Phoenix!? Jesse is a great actor but he's only good at portraying a skinny teenager type of character, NOT LEX LUTHOR.

Havnt you seen The Town ... I'm sure Ben Affleck will do a good job srs and he'll get pretty juicy for the role too.


And if he directs the next Batman film, Ill cream myself hnnnghh.



Personally I would have chosen Scott Adkins... He'd be perfect for Snyders Batman.

[StrongM477]

I mean Lex was a curly haired nerd when he was younger..

[MajesticLion]

tons of Smallville nods in MoS.

I can see that...the best that could be said for MoS is that it didn't suck, though. That doesn't make it great.

Haven't you seen Runner Runner? His latest movie? He just proved that he still sucks at acting.

Seriously acting as a bank robber is 100x easier than portraying one of the most famous superheros of all time.

More and more, this is reeking of Smallville-ness.

Michael Rosenbaum was awesome as Lex Luthor, and made the first few seasons of Smallville watchable. Yeah, the whole show was Dawson's Creek w/ Superman, but Rosenbaum as Luthor was excellent. Wouldn't mind seeing him as Luthor in this movie or others.

Eisenberg could pull off the look, if he shaved his head and put on more than a few pounds of muscle. But I don't know how they're going to overcome his 5' 7" height. Camera angles? Lex Luthor is not just a brilliant, ruthless businessman. He's also supposed to be physically imposing. Eisenberg is too short, and too scrawny.

[wildchild11]

oh my god can you imagine that awkward geek trying to be an enemy of a goku-strength superhero. smh

what's the worst he can do to superman? write a fuking blog post?

[mkz93]

das it mane. end of the world is upon us.

[Acal83]

Who is Jesse Eisenberg related to? Only nepotism could explain him getting movie roles.

Wasnt aware of that movie .... Will check it out. But he put in a decent performance in Argo too imo.

He was good in Now You See Me, and perfect to play Zuckerberg in the Social Network. He was a good choice for Zombieland, too.

He's like a less-annoying Michael Cera.

[DidNotReadL0L]

****gy choice is ****gy

good description.

Eisenberg is good for intellectual, hipster roles like that. he'd be fine to play a role such as....at biggest stretch...Peter Parker in the new Spiderman reboot. He probably would've done a better job than the other guy (who starred alongside him in the ******** movie).

But a multi-millionare mogul villian running a cutthroat corporation? No.

[DasWunderBrah]

what the fuk happened to Joaquin Phoenix being in the running for the role?


Eisenberg kid has zero range; just speaks really quickly.

[wildchild11]

Well received by the misc is this interview...put a hot sloot in her place



he's intelligent and speaks fast...but i dont dig him for this role.
