Jesse Eisenberg has come under fire for comparing Comic-Con to ‘genocide.'
The 31-year-old actor, who attended the annual entertainment convention in San Diego, California last Friday to promote his upcoming film Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice alongside co-stars Ben Affleck , Amy Adams and Henry Cavill, was blasted by fans for suggesting 'being screamed at by thousands of people' is similar to the deliberate killing of a large group of civilians.
The star added: "I don't know what the experience is throughout history, probably some kind of genocide. I can't think of anything that's equivalent."
But his comments prompted fury on Twitter, with one user writing: "I feel like Jesse Eisenberg doesn't grasp the definition of genocide. Can someone direct him to some history books por favor?"
Another tweeted: "Jesse Eisenberg compared Comic-Con to genocide. In other news, 6 million killed in the Holocaust can't wait to meet him & disagree forever"

Jesse has yet to respond to the controversy, but is happy he won't have to go to Comic-Con for at least another year.
Speaking at the premiere for his new film, The End of the Tour, he told PEOPLE.com: "The movie was received well. That's why we go.
"You get to leave relatively unscathed and it's at least a year before you have to do anything like that again."
