Jesse Eisenberg believes the reaction to Batman v Superman and his performance as Lex Luthor hurt his career, even if that's "kind of embarrassing to admit"

In a recent episode of Armchair Expert, the actor briefly commented on the reception of the Zack Snyder-directed crossover flick and, more specifically, how his performance as Lex Luthor was received.

In fact, Jesse Eisenberg, who played the iconic villain in 2016’s ill-fated but financially successful Batman v Superman (and very briefly in Justice League), recently talked about the aftermath of that failure.

Regardless, Eisenberg is quite convinced that, beefy paycheck aside, the role was bad for his career overall.
