Eisenberg is set to join the D.C Comic film franchise for the first time next year as he takes on the role of Lex Luthor for the first time in Dawn of Justice.
The movie sees the actor work with director Zack Snyder for the first time and he reveals that he felt like he was on an 'intimate movie set' and not a huge blockbuster.
Speaking to Collider, the actor said: "The way he shoots things - at least, insofar as my scenes were concerned - was very specifically and very simply a lot of my scenes are dialogue driven and it felt like I was on any other kind of intimate movie set. So watching that trailer for the first time, was when I really got a good sense of the overall movie, the look, and I thought it was really incredible.
"The environment on the set is one of respect and intimacy and allows the actors to do what actors do well even in the context of this huge and larger scope. And the production."
Dawn of Justice is the sequel to Man of Steel and Eisenberg is one of some great new faces that are joining the cast list - Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, and Jason Momoa are also on board as Batman, Wonder Woman, and Aquaman. Henry Cavill will reprise the role of Superman, while Amy Adams and Diane Lane are also returning as Lois Lane and Martha Kent.
While Eisenberg is no stranger to the big screen, Dawn of Justice is set to be one of the biggest film projects that he has ever been involved with. If we will see him pop up as Lex Luthor later down the line remains to be seen.
Eisenberg is currently enjoying box office success with American Ultra, which as opened in the U.S this weekend inside the top ten. The movie sees him reunite with Adventureland co-star Kristen Stewart.
It has been a busy film year for Eisenberg as he has also completed work on Now You See Me: The Second Act and is currently working on a new Woody Allen movie.
This will be the first time that Eisenberg has worked with Allen and will be starring alongside Stewart, Blake Lively, Bruce Willis, and Corey Stoll.
Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice is released 25th March 2016.
