It was announced two weeks ago that Jesse Eisenberg (“The Social Network,” “Zombieland”), will play Lex Luthor in Zack Snyder’s Batman-Superman movie. Luthor, the archenemy of Superman, has been played by Kevin Spacey and Gene Hackman in the past, so you can see why the recent choice might come as a surprise.
We’ll have to wait another year and a half to see the boyish actor bring his A-game to Snyder’s film (allegedly titled “Batman vs. Superman”), so for now, we thought it best to look back on some other surprising casting choices.
