Superman._ “I played the character in two different ways,” says Eisenberg of his portrayal of Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg. “We would do half of the takes in this socially-removed way, where the character is not picking up any social cues or perceiving other characters; and then we would do the other half a little more… natural.” Watch the full episode of GQ’s Iconic Characters as Jesse Eisenberg breaks down his most iconic movie roles. #JesseEisenberg #TheSocialNetwork #Zombieland #BatmanVSuperman #Adventureland #NowYouSeeMe 00:00 - Jesse Eisenberg’s Iconic Characters 00:19 - The Social Network: Mark Zuckerberg 05:38 - Adventureland: James Brennan 10:40 - Batman v.
