Actor from the hit show "Succession" may take on the role of Mark Zuckerberg in an upcoming project
In the world of film, rumours are swirling about a potential sequel to the acclaimed 2010 movie, "The Social Network." Aaron Sorkin, the original screenwriter and director, is reportedly working on a continuation of the story, this time focusing on the broader impacts of Facebook as revealed by the "Facebook Files" series.
The development of this new project is still in its early stages, with no official casting announcements made yet. However, there are some exciting possibilities on the table. Jeremy Allen White, known for his role in "Shameless," is being considered for the role of Jeff Horwitz, the Wall Street Journal reporter behind the Facebook Files investigation. Meanwhile, Mikey Madison, best known for her work in "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood," is in talks to portray Frances Haugen, the whistleblower former Facebook product manager whose revelations formed the basis of the "Facebook Files."
Jeremy Strong, who has gained recognition for his role in "Succession," is also being considered for a significant role, though the exact nature of his character is yet to be confirmed. It's worth noting that no offers have been made to any of the actors being considered at this stage.
Despite the buzz surrounding the new project, there's no mention of Jesse Eisenberg's involvement as Mark Zuckerberg. In a recent interview, Eisenberg expressed his reluctance to reprise the role. The casting process is still in consideration, and it remains unclear if any original film cast members will return for the sequel.
The plot of the new film is rumoured to revolve around the harmful effects of Facebook on teenagers and the role it played in the spread of misinformation in the latter half of the last decade. It's important to note that the new "The Social Network" does not seem to have a connection with Meta's recent profit report of a 36% increase to $18.4 billion.
As for the film's status, there are reports that it has not yet been greenlit by Sony Pictures. No release date has been announced, but fans of the original film are eagerly awaiting more updates on this promising sequel.
In conclusion, while the details are still murky, the possibility of a "The Social Network" sequel focusing on "The Facebook Files" is an exciting prospect for fans of the original film and those interested in the ongoing narrative of Facebook's impact on society.
What actors have been considered for roles in the potential "The Social Network" sequel based on the "Facebook Files"? Jeremy Allen White is being considered for the role of Jeff Horwitz, Mikey Madison for Frances Haugen, and Jeremy Strong for a significant yet undetermined role.
Which actors from the original film have not expressed interest in appearing in the sequel? It's unclear if Jesse Eisenberg will reprise his role as Mark Zuckerberg as he has expressed his reluctance to do so.
