Jeremy Strong Treated Co-Stars 'the Way He Imagines Mark Zuckerberg Treats People'
Sorkin said Strong stayed in character as Zuckerberg and the film used an outside law firm to verify every factual claim.
- Director Aaron Sorkin revealed that actor Jeremy Strong stayed in character as Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg throughout filming for The Social Reckoning, adopting the executive's voice and walk while maintaining distance from costars.
- To maintain the performance, Sorkin warned fellow actors that Strong would not socialize between takes, stating, "He is going to treat you the way he imagines Mark treats the people around him."
- Prior to filming, Strong emailed Zuckerberg to promise he approached the role with respect, a move that surprised Sorkin, who noted he was "not shocked" that Strong kept the communication private.
- Scheduled for release on October 9, The Social Reckoning serves as a sequel to The Social Network and focuses on the 2021 Facebook whistleblower leak involving Frances Haugen and Wall Street Journal reporter Jeff Horwitz.
- Sony hired an outside law firm to verify factual claims for the production, ensuring that every detail presented in the movie aligns with real events surrounding the whistleblower leak.
