Jesse Eisenberg reveals negative impact of 'Batman v Superman' on his career

Jesse Eisenberg has shared how Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice had a negative impact on his career.

The actor, who played the role of Lex Luthor in the film, recalled his experience during the conversation on the Armchair Expert podcast.

He said, “I was in this Batman movie and the Batman movie was so poorly received, and I was so poorly received” adding, “I've never said this before, and it’s kind of embarrassing to admit, but I genuinely think it actually hurt my career in a real way because I was poorly received in something so public.”

However, he added that “in the industry, if you're in a huge, huge movie and not seen as good, the people who are choosing who to put next in their movie are just not gonna select you.”

“I've been in poorly received things that just don't see the light of day. For the most part, no one knows. But this was so public, and I don't read notices or reviews or movie press or anything. So I was unaware of how poorly it was received,” Eisenberg further stated.

Moreover, A Real Pain star went on to say that the film also impacted him personally, calling the situation as “depressing.”

For the unversed, the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice film received mixed reviews with Variety reporting that it grossed $874 million at the worldwide box office.
