‘Batman V Superman’ NEWS: Jesse Eisenberg Compares Comic-Con to Genocide

Jesse Eisenberg had some harsh words for this past weekend's San Diego Comic-Con 2015.

Eisenberg, who plays Lex Luthor in the upcoming "Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice," appeared with fellow stars Ben Affleck and Henry Cavil during the film's comic-con panel over the weekend. In an interview Monday, Eiseneberg recounted the experience as less than enjoyable.

"It is like being screamed at by thousands of people," Eisenberg said, via Yahoo. "I don't know what the experience is throughout history, probably some kind of genocide. I can't think of anything that's equivalent."

Eiseneberg also spoke at the premiere of the "The End of the Tour," his upcoming film with Jason Segal about the release of author David Foster Wallace's novel "Infinite Jest." Segal portrays the troubled novelist while Eisenberg plays journalist David Lipsky.

"Yes I have never been on the other side, on your side of journalism. I have normally been the victim so I worked with the guy who I play, I play a real person, David Lipsky. I interviewed him. He taught me how to interview and what his process is like and now I understand the pariahs that you guys are," Eisenberg explained.

"Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice" hits theaters on March 25, 2016. "The End of the Tour" will debut on July 31.
