Jesse Eisenberg Lex Luthor

As part of promoting the upcoming DVD & Blu-Ray release of Homefront, actor Clancy Brown connected with Comicbook.com for an exclusive interview. We will have the full interview with Clancy Brown on Comicbook.com tomorrow, but here's a little teaser about what Brown had to say about the recent casting of Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor. Of course, Clancy Brown has voiced a number of comic book characters in animated features during his illustrious career, including multiple turns as Lex Luthor. As Brown told us, "Yeah, I love comic books. Who doesn't? What red-blooded American boy doesn't? They tell you that you get to play Lex Luthor you're not going to say 'No.'" When Warner Bros. announced Jesse Eisenberg had been cast as Lex Luthor in the live action Batman Vs. Superman movie, it proved to be a controversial choice for many fans, just like Ben Affleck's casting as Batman was controversial. However, Brown is an ardent supporter of Eisenberg landing the role. "Jesse Eisenberg as Luthor is awesome," said Brown.  "I think it's an inspired choice. I think he's just going to knock it out of the park. He's kind of perfect in so many ways for this day and age and that character. I don't think there's going to be any question he's going to rock with it."
