If you were shocked to hear Jeremy Strong‘s voice as Mark Zuckerberg in The Social Reckoning trailer, Jeremy Allen White was right there with you.
While premiering the fifth and final season of FX’s The Bear on Monday night in New York City, White also took a moment to discuss the highly anticipated film. Strong stars as Zuckerberg, but because the two actors never overlapped on set, the trailer marked White’s first glimpse of Strong’s portrayal.
“Jeremy and I spent zero time together filming — we were totally separate,” White told The Hollywood Reporter. “So the first I heard was the trailer with you guys, but it’s incredible.”
The Emmy winner added of Strong’s performance, “I thought it was great, but that’s what I expect of Jeremy. He’s so talented. He works so hard. It makes perfect sense to me.”
The Social Reckoning is a follow-up to the Oscar-winning 2010 film The Social Network, which starred Jesse Eisenberg as Zuckerberg and chronicled the creation of Facebook, as well as the lawsuits brought by co-founder and former best friend Eduardo Saverin (Andrew Garfield) and the Winklevoss twins (Armie Hammer). The film was directed by David Fincher and written by Aaron Sorkin, who won an Academy Award for his screenplay.
