Admit it: No matter how you feel about the idea of Jesse Eisenberg playing Superman’s archnemesis Lex Luthor in the follow-up to Man of Steel, you’d love to see the audition reel. Until that inevitable bonus material accompanies the Blu-ray release in late 2016, here’s the next best thing: Scott Gairdner‘s interpretation of the real thing.
This isn’t the first time Gairdner has done a faux Eisenberg audition — he’s previously imagined the actor going up for the lead of 127 Hours — but this video has far more to offer fans of the DC superhero movies. Eisenberg as Luthor is one thing, but did you expect to see Eisenberg’s Bane?
STORY: Jesse Eisenberg Cast as Lex Luthor in ‘Superman-Batman’
Watch the video, courtesy of Funny or Die, below. We can only hope that Eisenberg’s actual performance in the movie will match up.
