I'm sure he'd be just as good in the role of James Bond as he was as Lex Luthor.
What?
Wasn't he the perfect lex luthor?
I feel like everyone else in that movie was terrible except for him
Everyone’s got their own opinion, but it felt like he was trying too hard to put a Joker spin on Lex Luthor. Wasn’t my favorite but Gene Hackman will always be Lex in my mind
Huh, I felt like her was more of a smarter version of Elon Musk sort of evil, and that was perfect
Worst bond choice ever.
I would donate all my savings towards a movie/documentary of Jesse Eisenberg sitting at home alone and just living his life and entertaining himself with his drab hobbies, just so he is too busy to do any actual movies.
Literally anybody else, please
He likes to climb into refrigerators and close the door apparently. Not really a great hobby to promote.
Adjacent fact: the Time Machine in Back to the Future was initially based on a refrigerator, but they were afraid kids would start playing in an abandoned fridges and suffocate. So they switched it to the Delorean which partially led to the future with a stainless steel Swasticar designed by a Nazi who’s trying to take over the government.
So maybe it would have been better if they had promoted playing in fridges, and the moron kids from my generation would have been Darwin awarded out of the voting and gene pools.
made a tongue-in-cheek offer
🙄
Far from my first choice, but maybe he will bring that shotgun and double tap bit from Zombieland to the Bond franchise.
Been saying for years, they should cast Fassbender, and make it retro by setting it in the 60’s.
Cool take the worst crybaby of the DC universe and call him a super spy. Sounds like a win!
“The red coats are coming! The red coats are coming!”
It's weird that Jesse Eisenberg is like 40 years old. He has one of the ultimate babyfaces.
No thanks
Maybe if bond had asperges this choice would make sense. He's just a bit too quirky to make a decent bond
They should get McLovin' to do it
The terrorists are gonna either think here’s another British agent, or it’s McLovin the 25 year old organ donor.
Every time I hear the name Jesse Eisenberg, THIS IS ALL I CAN THINK OF
MARK ZUCKERBERG!
Absolute classic bit.
Hilarious!
