LOS ANGELES, March 25 (UPI) -- Jesse Eisenberg looks bald angry in the first still image of himself as super villain Lex Luthor from the upcoming film Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
The 31-year-old actor will play Superman's nemesis in director Zack Snyder's forthcoming DC Comics thriller.
"He's not any of the Lexes that you've seen, that's for sure," Snyder told Entertainment Weekly,"other than him being a captain of industry and one person to the world and another person to himself. And bald, of course."

The new film, a sequel to Snyder's 2013 superhero flick Man of Steel, will see Superman (Henry Cavill) and Batman (Ben Affleck) working together on the big screen for the first time. The movie will also feature Wonder Woman (played by Gal Gadot) and Barry Allen/The Flash (played by Ezra Miller), and will serve as a segue for the forthcoming Justice League films.
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is in post production and will be released March 25, 2016.
