Jesse Eisenberg said that his recent movie "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" will address "geopolitics" in a "non-pretentious" manner. Eisenberg, who plays the character of the villain Lex Luthor in the movie, hinted that there will be a lot of action scenes, but overall the film aims at tackling serious issues.
Eisenberg, who played the character of Mark Zuckerberg in "Social Network," told The Observer that the opportunity to play an interesting character in this epic is what motivated him. He went on to state that it was the most advantageous role he got until now.
The 31-year old actor was all praises for Chris Terrio, the writer of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" who described as a phenomenal writer.
"His background is not in comic books so he was coming at it from emotion and story and created this really wonderful character, as enigmatic as he is emotionally honest," Eisenberg said of Terrio.
The movie's storyline would be reportedly different as compared to previous "superhero movies" gained further ground when Diane Nelson, the president of DC Entertainment, said that the theme and tone of the 2016 blockbuster will indeed appear different to the public.
"We have to be really sensitive to making sure we're not creating any stories that don't feel like they're ready to be told," Nelson told Variety. She went on to say that getting the right content from the talents is vital and a great story would most definitely attract people.
"Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" opens March 23, 2016.
