'Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice' Release Date, Cast & Trailer: Leaked Photo Shows Jesse Eisenberg Covering His Head
The most recent leaked set photos of the upcoming movie "Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice" gives fans an idea of what to expect with Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor.
There were previous rumors which said that "The Social Network" actor will sport a blond hair and not the usual bald look. However, this was not confirmed yet until the most recent set photo was leaked.
Unfortunately, the photo only provided a tiny glimpse of the actor from afar. To make it more frustrating, Eisenberg was covering his head with a towel, according to Screenrant.
The photo brought such pleasure to fans of the "Man of Steel" sequel. It was presented in collage form and featured not just Eisenberg but also other "Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice" cast like Henry Cavill, Tao Okamoto, Scoot McNairy and Amy Adams.
With the "Now You See Me" actor covering his head, one thing is certain. His look is certainly kept confidential even from potential paparazzi on set. According to ComicBookMovie, the act could be an attempt to hide his bald - making it a real surprise by the time the movie's March 2016 release date rolls in.
Or, his head could still be full of hair and he just placed the towel over his head to cool him down during the hot summer day of shooting. While it isn't clear if Eisenberg will be a bald or a haired Lex Luthor, there isn't really a fixed hairstyle for the character - at least as far as movie adaptations are concerned.
Cinema Blend recalls the look of actors who previously took on the Lex Luthor role. According to the outlet, Gene Hackman had hair when he played the part in the earlier "Man of Steel" flicks. However, Kevin Spacey appeared as a bald Lex Luthor in "Superman Returns."
Some suggest that Lex Luthor's look in the "Batman V Superman" movie may depend on the phase of life of the popular villain portrayed in the film. If it will tackle the back story of the character, which means covering his younger years, then most fans can expect hair on Eisenberg.
No official trailer is out for the movie yet but it does have a release date. "Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice" will hit the big screen on March 25, 2016.
