Jesse Eisenberg says his Razzie win for “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” damaged his acting career and affected the roles he could secure. The award in question was for worst supporting actor in 2017, tied to his portrayal of Lex Luthor in the 2016 film.
Across the coverage, outlets frame Eisenberg’s comments as an account of career impact from negative recognition. Times of India reports that he attributes the Razzie to pushing him toward filmmaking and directing to keep his career going. ComingSoon.net adds that he describes the negative recognition as making it harder to land major studio roles, highlighting his discussion at a screen talk during the BFI London Film Festival.
While the outlets agree on the core point—Eisenberg links the Razzie win and nomination-related backlash to professional consequences—they vary slightly in emphasis, with some foregrounding career damage and others stressing his pivot toward directing.
