Summary
Jeremy Allen White said the first time he heard Jeremy Strong’s Mark Zuckerberg voice in The Social Reckoning was in the trailer because the two actors spent zero time together while filming.
Monday in New York, White called Strong’s portrayal “incredible” and said the performance matched his expectations of an actor he described as highly talented and hardworking.
The sequel casts White as Wall Street Journal reporter Jeff Horwitz, working with former Facebook employee Frances Haugen to expose the platform’s secrets, shifting the story from Facebook’s rise to its fallout.
Aaron Sorkin returns to write and direct the film, set 17 years after 2010’s The Social Network, with Sony Pictures scheduled to release it in theaters on Oct. 9.
White said making the film did not change his views on social media but reinforced his belief that its addictive effects are well documented and warrant more distance.
