Jesse Eisenberg is reminded of his own experience as the famous villain Lex Luthor in 2016’s Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice as James Gunn’s Superman, starring Nicholas Hoult as the character, gets ready for release next year.
“I was in this Batman movie and the Batman movie was so poorly received, and I was so poorly received,” Eisenberg remarked frankly in response to the Armchair Expert podcast’s unfavorable critiques.
“I’ve never said this before, and it’s kind of embarrassing to admit, but I genuinely think it actually hurt my career in a real way because I was poorly received in something so public,” he said.
“I’ve been in poorly received things that just don’t see the light,” the Now You See Me star continued.
