"The Social Network" star Jesse Eisenberg will be playing the villainous Lex Luthor in the upcoming DC movie "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice," and given his opinion about the script, it's going to be one amazing movie with even more compelling dialogue.

During an interview with Collider, Eisenberg shared certain details about the superhero flick where Batman goes against Superman, all the while being usurped by a new threat.

This new threat is teased in the film's official synopsis: "Fearing the actions of a god-like Super Hero left unchecked, Gotham City's own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis's most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it's ever known before."

Eisenberg said that he likes how the characters - from superheroes to villains - are shaped up in the upcoming film, and he credits it to the writer's genius.

"I like what this writer does, this guy Chris Terrio. He wrote this movie we did and I just think he's so great. He's such a good writer. I like what he does with characters, I like what he does with wordplay and cleverness. I like anything he writes," gushed Eisenberg.

The interview with him was very short, and fans also wanted to find out if he will be a part of Comic Con 2015. The actor answered, "I'll be there...I think I'm there for the hour I'm on the stage."

Earlier, Henry Cavill, who plays Superman in the film told fans not to get too excited about an epic fight scene between his character and Ben Affleck's Batman, despite their heated war.

Cavill explained that Superman is not one who uses his powers to engage in fights, but rather save the people.

"Superman wouldn't get into a cage fight with just anyone," he told WWD. "Imagine, you wouldn't get into a fight with someone if they hit you and you didn't feel it, barely registered it. Superman wouldn't even notice; he's not quick to engage."

The film is directed by Zack Snyder and aside from Cavill, Affleck, and Eisenberg, other cast members include Amy Adams, Diane Lane, Laurence Fishburne, Jeremy Irons, Holly Hunter, Jason Momoa and Gal Gadot.

"Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice" will open in theaters on March 25, 2016.
