Considering how lackluster Man of Steel was, our expectations are in check for Zack Snyder’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, but there’s one element that has us quite curious. Jesse Eisenberg taking the role of Lex Luthor caught many by surprise, but we imagine The Social Network star will fit quite well in the universe and today the first official, gloriously bald photo of him has landed.
“He’s not any of the Lexes that you’ve seen, that’s for sure, other than him being a captain of industry and one person to the world and another person to himself. And bald, of course,” Snyder tells EW, who debuted the image. He adds, “Our Lex is disarming and he’s not fake. 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.” Check out the image below, along with Jason Momoa discussing Aquaman, who’ll pop up in the film.
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice opens exactly one year from today, on March 25th, 2016.
