It’s been a good stretch for the DC Extended Universe after a bit of an uncertain start. Now some of the stars who have acted in the films over the recent year, like Jesse Eisenberg, are thinking about revisiting their characters in this new direction the studio is taking. Of course, the actor played Lex Luthor in the very divisive Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. A movie which basically foretold our now constant bickering between critics and audiences. Luckily for Eisenberg, his character was far from the least contentious part of the film among fans. But, still, with Warner Bros. contemplating reshuffling the deck again, it is worth asking if they would bring the actor back to play the villain when that would bring attention to the past movies with just his presence.

Right now, the star is in the middle of Zombieland: Double Tap’s theatrical run. The movie is being appreciated by fans of the original one from last decade. Some have wondered if younger DC fans will look back at those early DCEU movies with a similar measure of nostalgia one day. Movie web asked Eisenberg about playing Luthor again. He didn’t sound the least bit bitter about the experience. Playing such an iconic character felt like a major undertaking for the actor. The Social Network star said that he was absolutely open to it, but acknowledged that it seems unlikely that they would write his character into another Justice League tale sometime soon.
