Entertainment Weekly dropped the first image of Jesse Eisenberg as villain Lex Luthor in “Batman v. Superman: Dawn Of Justice. Eisenberg plays Lex Luthor in the eagerly anticipated film.

“He’s not any of the Lexes that you’ve seen, that’s for sure,” says Snyder, “other than him being a captain of industry and one person to the world and another person to himself. And bald, of course.”

And while you’re staring at Luthor’s penetrating stare, take a closer look at Lex’s eyes and you might see an image of Superman on there!

Following the trailer that hit back in January, 20th Century Fox has released a new poster for director Josh Trank’s Fantastic Four via the film’s Twitter account.

Here, we see Thing, Mr Fantastic, Human Torch, and Invisible Woman, looking at at a mysterious pillar of light (which by the way also appeared in the final shots of the trailer, see trailer below), with the characters showing off their powers.

The poster further reinforce the movie’s marketing that focus on its sci-fi elements than anything else, as well as the fact that it’s from the same studio behind X-Men: Days of Future Past.

Josh Trank is directing Fantastic Four, which stars Miles Teller as Mr. Fantastic, Kate Mara as Invisible Woman, Michael B. Jordan as Human Torch, Jamie Bell as The Thing, and Toby Kebbell as DOCTOR Doom.

Fantastic Four is set to hit the big screen on August 7, 2015.

Superman Gets New Look Post-Convergence

Superman is looking very casual lately. Not only did he ditch the cape and tights, Supes is wearing jeans and T-shirt in the latest costume design. He also got his hair trimmed up and sports some stubble.

Some might remember not too long ago that Superman underwent a costume redesign in the Geoff Johns and John Romita Jr.’s Superman, so it is possible that both costumes will co-exist in some form. Its also entirely possible that Superman eventually goes back to the previous costume.

Also this week, Hitfix reveals a new Wonder Woman costume, which is just as dramatic a redesign, complete with a pair of retractable spikes in her gauntlets.

These costumes will debut in June as part of DC’s major post-Convergence relaunch.

Warner Bros.

For some time now, we’ve known that the DC Trinity, Superman/Batman/Wonder Woman would appear together for the first time in next year’s cinematic event Batman V Superman. This week, Snyder all but confirmed that another top-tier DC character, Aquaman, will be joining them in the movie in 2015 by way of an official picture of the thespian in character. This is not a complete surprise as Momoa himself has showered the director with praises, while fan buzz and gossip has been circulating almost all throughout since the movie’s inception.

No one knows yet how large the role will play in the movie, but its becoming increasingly clear at this point that Aquaman will be sharing the screen with DC Trinity in some capacity.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice will be in theaters March 25, 2016. Aquaman will premiere on July 27, 2018.

Here’s a look at Momoa’s baddass Aquaman
