Aaron Sorkin Compares Jeremy Strong, Jesse Eisenberg’s Mark Zuckerberg Portrayals
Aaron Sorkin believes there’s a new face of Facebook.
The director of The Social Reckoning shared how Jeremy Strong added to the character of Mark Zuckerberg after taking over for Jesse Eisenberg following The Social Network in 2010.
“It’s amazing,” Sorkin, who penned the Oscar-nominated movie, told E! News in an exclusive interview at the film’s New York premiere Oct. 4. “It’s a lesson how just difference nuances from an actor can change everything. You’re going to feel like this is the same guy, but as you said, it’s 20 years later, and the company is much, much different.”
Indeed, though Sorkin initially offered Eisenberg the opportunity to reprise his role, The West Wing creator believes Strong taking over the role highlighted just how much the Facebook founder has evolved.
As he put it, “This story puts him in a different position than he’s in The Social Network.”
Sorkin’s upcoming follow-up will detail the 2021 leak by Frances Haugen and Jeff Horwitz—played by Mikey Madison and Jeremy Allen White respectively—that revealed the harmful effects the website’s algorithm was having on its users.
