Mikey Madison and Jeremy Allen White Eyeing Lead Roles in Aaron Sorkin’s "Social Network" Sequel

Mikey Madison and Jeremy Allen White are eyeing the lead roles for Aaron Sorkin’s sequel to the 2010 Oscar winner “The Social Network,”.

According to sources with knowledge of the project, Sorkin has met with both Madison and White about the project despite no offers having been made yet.

Th project is still very much in the development stage and has yet to receive the green light from Sony.

Sorkin is set to write and direct the follow-up to David Fincher’s 2010 original.

While that film followed the creation of the ubiquitous social media platform and the rise of its boy-genius founder Mark Zuckerberg, the sequel is based on “The Facebook Files” from Jeff Horwitz.

Published by the Wall Street Journal in 2021, the series of articles exposed Facebook for its harmful effects on teens and its knowing proliferation of misinformation, which contributed to acts of political violence.

Todd Black, Peter Rice, Sorkin and Stuart Besser serve as producers for the sequel.

“The Social Network” garnered eight Academy Award nominations and took home honors for best adapted screenplay, best editing and best original score.

The film grossed $226 million at the global box office.
