While speaking to Variety, Jesse Eisenberg had a little (a very little) to say about playing Lex Luthor in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Eisenberg already seems to be looking forward to a reprising the role. When asked about returning for a sequel, he said, "I would love to. It's a great group and director, and the most ideal character to play."

He did keep tight-lipped about his current haircut.

"I can't say anything about this stuff. They want all this to be a surprise," he said.

Was Eisenberg a Superman fan growing up? "No," he says, but adds "I never minded him." He only recently even saw the Superman films, "Oh, just to understand the context of this one. But no, not as a child."

Superman v. Batman: Dawn of Justice opens March 25, 2016.
