Video: Jeremy Strong is Mark Zuckerberg in THE SOCIAL RECKONING Teaser
The movie will arrive in theaters on October 9, 2026 from Sony.
Jeremy Strong is taking on a tech giant in the first teaser for The Social Reckoning. Billed as a companion piece to David Fincher's The Social Network, the Tony Award winner plays Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg, replacing Jesse Eisenberg, who played the Facebook founder in the hit 2008 film.
The new film, written and directed by Aaron Sorkin, is based on the events that gave rise to THE WALL Street Journal’s shocking exposé The Facebook Files. It will arrive in theaters on October 9, 2026 from Sony.
It is inspired by the true story of how Frances Haugen (Mikey Madison), a young Facebook engineer, enlists the help of Jeff Horwitz (Jeremy Allen White), a Wall Street Journal reporter, to go on a dangerous journey that ends up blowing the whistle on the social network’s most guarded secrets.
The Social Reckoning follows Strong's Tony-winning turn in the recent Broadway production of An Enemy of the People. The movie also stars Wunmi Mosaku, as well as Broadway alums Betty Gilpin, Billy Magnussen, and Bill Burr. Sorkin also wrote the Oscar-winning screenplay of the first film and takes over directorial duties from David Fincher for this follow-up.
The Social Network, which detailed the rise of the social media platform Facebook, was released in 2008 to much praise and accolades, including three Academy Awards from a total of nine nominations. The movie starred Jesse Eisenberg, Tony-winner Andrew Garfield, and Justin Timberlake.
Sorkin is an Academy Award and Emmy-winning screenwriter, director, and renowned playwright who made his Broadway debut with A Few Good Men. His subsequent film adaptation was nominated for four Academy Awards. Sorkin also created and produced The West Wing, which won 26 Primetime Emmy Awards, The Newsroom, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, and Sports Night, and the stage adaptation of To Kill a Mockingbird. More recently, he wrote and directed the film Being the Ricardos and revised the book for Lerner and Loewe's Camelot for the 2023 Broadway revival.
