Jesse Eisenberg Weighed In on The Social Network Sequel Months Before Jeremy Strong Rumors
LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, AUG 1 – Jeremy Strong is the leading candidate to replace Jesse Eisenberg as Mark Zuckerberg in the sequel exploring Facebook's darker side based on 2021 investigative reports.
- Jesse Eisenberg declined to reprise his role as Mark Zuckerberg in Aaron Sorkin's upcoming film The Social Network Part II.
- Sorkin decided to write and direct the sequel based on The Facebook Files, a 2021 Wall Street Journal series exposing Facebook's harms and internal issues.
- Jeremy Strong, an Oscar-nominated and Emmy-winning actor known for Succession, is the top choice to portray Zuckerberg, though no formal offer has been made yet.
- Eisenberg told BBC he is not following Zuckerberg's life trajectory, saying he does not want to think of himself as associated with Zuckerberg.
- The film is a follow-up rather than a direct sequel, with Fincher unlikely to return as director and no release date announced as Sorkin shapes the new narrative focus.
