Jesse Eisenberg, who is set to play Lex Luthor in the upcoming film “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,” said that his character will be seen saying a lot of dialogues in the film.

Speaking to Collider, the actor said, “as my scenes were concerned -- was very specifically and very simply a lot of my scenes are dialogue driven and it felt like I was on any other kind of intimate movie set.”

He added that he found the trailer incredible, and the overall sense of the movie becomes clear after watching it. Also the actor praised the friendly environment on the film’s set.

“The environment on the set is one of respect and intimacy and allows the actors to do what actors do well even in the context of this huge and larger scope,” he said.

Eisenberg’s character, Luthor, will be Superman’s (Henry Cavill) main adversary. He will be a “sophisticated” and “complicated’ character who will challenge Superman with his extraordinary intellect, DC comics reported.
