'The Social Network' star Jesse Eisenberg, who is all set to play iconic villain Lex Luthor in 'Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice', says he has been asked to play an interesting role in the Zack Snyder-directed movie.
Eisenberg revealed that he sat down with one of the writers to understand the psychology behind this character, reported Total Film.
"I got to know one of the writers Chris Terrio, and we were able to discuss things at length and figure out who this person is to create a real psychology behind what is, perhaps, in a comic book, a less than totally modern psychology.
"I can only say I've been asked to play an interesting role. A complicated, challenging person," the actor said.
