Jesse Eisenberg’s Lex Luthor might also be in Suicide Squad
Deadline reports that Warner Bros. is in talks with Jesse Eisenberg about taking his Lex Luthor—whom he’s slated to play in Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice—and bringing it over to David Ayer’s Suicide Squad. Eisenberg joins a long list of possible players like Ryan Gosling, Will Smith, Margot Robbie, and Tom Hardy, who are supposedly in the running for the cast of supervillians brought together to complete black ops missions for the government. But obviously, bringing in Lex Luthor hints at another attempt to bridge a larger connection between Warner Bros.’ many upcoming DC Comics films.
