We’ve been wondering for awhile if Jesse Eisenberg would be shaving his head to play Lex Luthor in Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice or if he’d just be playing “Mark Zuckerberg, but slightly more evil”. Last year, he was spotted on the set covering his head with a towel to maintain the mystery. Now we have an update in the form of a promo photo for one of his other movies.
The photo above (uncropped version available at Fandango) is part of the first cast photo for Now You See Me: The Second Act, and yes, that may be the most twee subtitle for a sequel ever. But we’re not here to complain about unwieldy movie titles (the ship has long sailed on that one for “Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice”). We’re here to obsess over Jesse Eisenberg’s hair because WE HAVE EXCELLENT PRIORITIES.
Principal photography on [Batman V Superman] wrapped up recently and it certainly looks as if Eisenberg had his head shaved not too long ago. Either that or his character just so happens to require a crew cut months after the actor finished playing Lex Luthor. [Screenrant]
Such mystery. Much buzz cut. Wow.
Anyway, the first trailer for Batman V Superman is rumored to arrive next month with Jupiter Ascending, so maybe we’ll see Zack Snyder’s version of Lex Luthor then. Or maybe we’ll see the return of those giant penis ships from Man Of Steel. *knock wood*
