Jesse Eisenberg has confirmed he will be back as Lex Luthor in Justice League.

The actor announced on stage at MCM London Comic Con that Lex will make an appearance in Zack Snyder's team-up movie.

Eisenberg noted that with production underway on Justice League, he's just waiting on the call.

"I'm kind of in wait," he said. "They just started filming Justice League, so I'm kind of like waiting for my crack at it.

"I don't know what I'm allowed to say, because I feel like there's probably some drone following me from DC, and if I say anything wrong I get, you know, picked off. But yeah I think so, and I love it, and I love everybody who's in it. You know, it's a really talented group of people."

Warner Bros.

Last year, the star said he would love to reprise the role of Lex, describing him as "the most ideal character to play".

And now he's going one step further and added how he'd like to develop the character in future films.

"I wanted to make these people real and relatable, interesting and engaging, and not just, you know, a kind of surface 'bad person'," he said.

"To me, the most interesting acting is when actors can bring you in to another side of the person. When you feel like you are not seeing the purpose of them for the plot.

"That they're not just delivering a message, that they're actually showing you some kind of humanity."

Warner Bros.

It was recently revealed that Ben Affleck will be executive producing the movie as well as starring in it as Batman. He'll be helping craft its storyline with Snyder and writer Chris Terrio.

The move came as Warner Bros. makes changes to its DC Extended Universe following the critical failure of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Eisenberg will be seen in tonight's (May 29) episode of the revamped Top Gear, even though he told Digital Spy that he had never heard of the show before.

He also revealed that he is still interested in a Zombieland sequel - as long as the script captures the magic of the original.

Justice League Part One is set for release on November 17, 2017, with Part Two following on June 14, 2019.
