Sony has offered a first look at The Social Reckoning, Aaron Sorkin‘s companion piece to his Oscar-winning drama The Social Network that stars Mikey Madison, Jeremy Allen White and Jeremy Strong.

Whereas The Social Network was a drama looking at the origins of Facebook and the legal battles that followed, adapting Ben Mezrich’s book The Accidental Billionaires, The Social Reckoning is more of a thriller. Based on the events that gave rise to the Wall Street Journal’s shocking 2021 exposé “The Facebook Files,” this film tells the true story of how Frances Haugen (Madison), a young Facebook engineer, enlisted the help of Jeff Horwitz (White), a Wall Street Journal reporter, to go on a dangerous journey that ended up blowing the whistle on the social network’s most guarded secrets.

For the room at Sony’s CinemaCon presentation only, a trailer showed tonight saw Madison’s whistleblower Frances meet with White’s reporter and assure him she wants to “help Facebook, not hurt it,” which leaves White to wonder why she reached out to him.

We then go to court and get a first look at Succession‘s Strong as Mark Zuckerberg — taking over a role made iconic by Jesse Eisenberg. This Zuckerberg is combative — calling himself a “professional defendant.”

He seems remorseless amid reports of Facebook’s “unprecedented” impacts on society — impacts not necessarily for the better — calling himself a “free speech absolutist” and “not the one who’s lying.”

Various characters we see then warn of the consequences of speaking out against Facebook, with one saying “the mafia” would be a better enemy to make.
