Not even in the same universe as people of whom I'd think when asked about who to portray Lex Luthor.

That said, I'll wager he could make a dmaned good go of it.

Problem is that Luther has either been a older guy or a younger man with a powerful physique.

He is neither. He looks like a bald headed college kid. Though he is a good enough actor that I think he could pull it off.

IDK. He sure doesn't possess the sort of intimidating presence that a classic Luthor would have; OTOH for ruthless calculating and menacing logic Eisenberg could do it.

Maybe it's the early days before Luthor becomes what we know him to be.
