Justice League star Jesse Eisenberg revealed he would love to reprise his role as Lex Luthor in another DC Extended Universe film.
Warner Bros. and DC’s Justice League featured a post-credits scene that hinted at the formation of a supervillain team by Jesse Eisenberg’s Lex Luthor. However, the disappointing box office performance and mixed reaction to Justice League prompted Warner Bros. to reassess their plans for the next DC films, leaving Jesse Eisenberg’s future as Lex Luthor in a state of uncertainty for audiences.
During an interview with Movieweb, Jesse Eisenberg revealed he would be willing to reprise his role as Lex Luthor and expressed how much fun he had played the villain. However, Jesse Eisenberg added that he believes he “probably won’t do another” film as Lex Luthor after Justice League:
Oh, 1000 percent. Which is not even… that’s ten pies. Ten full pies. Yeah, of course. Yeah. I loved it so much. I mean I was the shyest kid in the world. To get to play a mean character with flamboyance like that is exhilarating. I probably won’t do another. I don’t know if they’re making another one where I would be in it. But no, I loved it. It was great. I’m so happy I got to do it. Ever.”

Here is the official synopsis for Justice League:
Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes—Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash—it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.
Directed by Zack Snyder, Justice League stars Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Gal Gadot, Ezra Miller, Jason Momoa, Ray Fisher, Jeremy Irons, Diane Lane, Connie Nielsen, J. K. Simmons, and Ciarán Hinds.
