BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE

In a recent interview with MTV, Jesse Eisenberg opened up about his take on playing Lex Luthor.

"The expectations that I have are never the same expectations that an audience has," said Eisenberg. "I don't have expectations for myself to adhere to a comic book character, but a lot of people are interested in how I would coincide with the comic book character. But it couldn't be farther from my mind, because I'm just playing a role."

Eisenberg went on to add, "It's a really great character that's written by this guy, Chris Terrio, he's a phenomenal writer... He loves my character in the same way I love my character. He put a lot of work into it. It's a great character, there's an emotional core to the character. It's not this silly, villainous character... This is a real depiction of a person who thinks these things. So the challenge is to make it seem real."

CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR

During an interview on the Best Show, Paul Rudd discussed what it's been like suiting up as Ant-Man for a second time.

"It's been an interesting thing [playing Ant-Man] because I also just went and worked a little bit on 'Captain America 3,'" said Rudd. "To be in that Marvel world, but kind of be somewhat in a bubble [on the solo movie] and now to kind of have these experiences where I'm standing opposite Captain America, It's been a surreal ride so far. It's really only just starting."

DAREDEVIL

MTV has also caught up with Rosario Dawson and got to ask the actress about what's in store for "Daredevil" season two, especially now that the Punisher is involved.

"I'm looking forward to seeing where [Claire's arc] goes, because her eyes have been opened up to this other world -- and she's crossed the line," said Dawson about the second season. "You know, this is someone who helps people, and she's been violent now but seeing the need for it. I think there's a lot that she's having to grapple with, and I think that's what's exciting about using this show to explore street-level characters: it makes it that much more closer to us."

When asked about Punisher, Dawson said, "That's going to raise the stakes so much more, because Matt Murdock almost behaves like the Punisher in the first season... [Matt] crosses the line quite often, so it's going to be really interesting to see how they differentiate them and where that goes."
