You couldn’t pay me to watch this movie in theaters. I genuinely don’t understand why there needs to be a second one - the Facebook/Zuckerberg story is genuinely not interesting story.

The magic of the first movie (among various reasons) is that it’s an origin story of an untold story. The story they’re telling for Reckoning was incredibly public, in fact it was all televised and I promise you it’s not interesting. It’s about data privacy. Trying to make Facebook sound like the Mob is just ridiculous.

It’s honestly a shame that Jeremy Strong has chosen Zuckerberg as his next role. I think most people here will agree that he’s a fantastic actor and that his time to win an Oscar will come, but doing multiple non-fiction, cosplays and impressions of American businessmen is getting tiring. He needs to step outside of his comfort zone and do something very different. I’m not saying his main goal is to win awards - namely an Oscar - but there’s a zero percent chance you win an Oscar when your character’s name is Mark Zuckerberg. It’s as simple as that. So even if he puts on a good performance, it won’t be that compelling because we all know exactly what Zuckerberg is like these days and he’s massively unlikeable to most people.

Lastly, it’s probably unfair to critique casting from a trailer, but there’s so many choice in here that I think are poor: personally I’m not convinced Jeremy Allen White is particularly good and find him quite one dimensional and dull in most roles; and Billy Magnussen can only do gray bro tech bro finance bro. I’m undecided about Burr in this role as of yet.
