We know the actor, Jesse Eisenberg. But we don’t know how he’s going to look as Lex Luthor, the iconic supervillain and evil genius in Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice. Until, it turns out, right now.
As you might guess, they’re not straying too far from the classic look. See for yourself:

We’ve known that Eisenberg was going bald for the role for a while, but it’s nice to see the exact look. And Entertainment Weekly, which got the photo, also got Zack Snyder to talk about the villain:
“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… 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.”
Well, that last part sounds like the Riddler, but we’ll take what we can get. Luthor strikes March 25, 2016.
