Jesse Eisenberg will portray Lex Luthor in Zack Snyder's Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, but little is known about his role or about the character's machinations in the movie.

The actor appeared at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival and spoke to Variety, which asked him about if his head is still shaved. "I can't say anything about this stuff," he replied. "They want all this to be a surprise."

The site also asked if he would like to play Lex again in a future movie, specifically the next Superman film. "I would love to," he said. "It's a great group and director, and the most ideal character to play." Keep in mind that rumors say Eisenberg will play Lex again in the Suicide Squad movie.

Finally, Variety asked Eisenberg if he was a fan of Superman as a child, "No, I never minded him," he said. He added that he watched previous movies after he earned the role of Lex Luthor. "Oh, just to understand the context of this one," he said. "But no, not as a child."

Scoot McNairy will appear in Dawn of Justice, but fans have no idea who he will play. And it appears McNairy isn't offering any details.

The actor spoke to USA Today and praised director Zack Snyder. "[He's] an incredible filmmaker and an incredible visionary," he said.

McNairy also talked about acting in a comic book movie. "Playing in that world with comic books you've been readings since you were a kid, being someone in that world, it's awesome," he said.
