Aaron Sorkin, the Oscar-winning screenwriter behind ‘The Social Network,’ has opened up about how he approached the character of Mark Zuckerberg in the upcoming sort-of sequel, ‘The Social Reckoning.’ In a new interview, Sorkin explains that the Facebook co-founder is no longer the same person he portrayed in 2010. ‘He’s grown up, and the world has changed around him,’ Sorkin says.
The film will reportedly tackle the platform’s role in election interference, privacy scandals, and the spread of misinformation. Sorkin, who won an Academy Award for the original screenplay, says he felt compelled to revisit the story because ‘the stakes are much higher now.’ The sequel is expected to feature a new cast, with Jesse Eisenberg not returning as Zuckerberg.
