Jesse Eisenberg thinks Batman v Superman role “hurt my career”

BBG News

As a seasoned gamer and movie enthusiast with decades of experience under my belt, I can’t help but empathize with Jesse Eisenberg’s sentiments about his role as Lex Luthor in “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.” Having navigated the labyrinthine world of gaming, where a single misstep can tarnish an otherwise stellar career, I understand the frustration that comes from pouring one’s heart and soul into a project only to have it met with less-than-warm receptions.

Jesse Eisenberg believes his role in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice “hurt” his career.

In the thrilling 2016 movie, I stepped into the shoes of the cunning Lex Luthor opposite the dynamic duo of Batman and Superman, portrayed by Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill. The following year, I reprised my role in the epic Justice League.

Recently, I sat down for a chat on the Armchair Expert podcast with Dax Shepard, and we delved into my past roles. As for “The Social Network,” I feel it may have had an unwelcome impact on my career trajectory. The movie itself and my performance within it didn’t quite resonate with critics as we had hoped.

“The Batman movie was so poorly received and I was so poorly received,” he said.

“I haven’t spoken about this previously as it’s somewhat uncomfortable to disclose, but I truly believe that a past incident, which unfolded publicly, affected my professional progress negatively.

I’ve generally met with little success or understanding for ideas that remain unseen by the public eye. For the majority of cases, these endeavors are unknown to others.

However, given that it was so widely publicized, I must admit I’m not one to keep up with notices, reviews, movie news, or the like. As a result, I didn’t know about its less than favorable reception.

Pondering over the influence of this film appearance on his professional journey, he remarked: “If you’ve had a prominent role in a major production but aren’t well-received by critics, it becomes challenging to secure another opportunity as the producers might hesitate to cast you in their future projects.

The actor from Zombieland stated: “I adored my character and the film, so I mostly blame myself rather than them doing me a disservice. However, it seemed as if I needed to fight my way back up again.

As a passionate fan, I can’t help but express my personal take on “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.” Despite the overwhelmingly positive buzz it generated before release, this movie seems to have left many critics underwhelmed. The film boasts a low 29% score from over 400 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, with the critical consensus being that “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” submerges a potentially strong narrative and some of America’s most cherished superheroes beneath an overwhelming tide of action-heavy special effects.
