20 Upcoming Movies That Made INCREDIBLE Casting Choices

2. Jeremy Strong - The Social Reckoning

There are certainly enough reasons to be skeptical about The Social Reckoning, the upcoming sequel to The Social Network, not least because neither director David Fincher nor original lead actor Jesse Eisenberg opted to return.

But the role of Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg will instead be played by the brilliant Jeremy Strong.

Sure, Strong may not bear much of a natural resemblance to Eisenberg, but there's little denying the man's brilliance as a performer, best evidenced of course by his work on Succession and most recently The Apprentice.

And for anyone with any lingering doubts about Strong's casting as The Zuck, footage from the film recently screened at CinemaCon drew raves for his intense performance, some even believing he could get all the way to the Oscar podium.

Even with the dubious necessity of another Facebook movie, it's clear that Strong is going to put on an absolute acting clinic here.
