"While Oscar nominee Jeremy Strong ("The Apprentice") could be back at the Oscars for the second year in a row for his subtle, moving performance as manager Jon Landau in "Bruce Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere," he's neither rooting for himself nor for another character actor he admires, Sean Penn in "One Battle After Another." As a member of this year's Cannes jury, Strong is an unabashed fan of Norway's Cannes prize-winning Oscar entry, "Sentimental Value." "Give Stellan Skarsgård the Oscar, please," he said as we sat down at the Four Seasons in Los Angeles."
"As soon as Strong got wind of a follow-up to "The Social Network," he told Sorkin that he had always wanted to play Zuckerberg. Strong played Jerry Rubin in Best Picture nominee "The Trial of the Chicago 7," which Sorkin wrote and directed, and starred in Sorkin's directorial debut "Molly's Game." "The Social Reckoning" screenplay is "one of the best scripts I've ever read," said Strong. "It touches the third rail, the axis of much of the issues and maladies of our time.""
Jeremy Strong could receive another Oscar nomination for his portrayal of Jon Landau in Bruce Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere. He is not publicly rooting for himself and admires Sean Penn's work in One Battle After Another. Strong served on the Cannes jury and supports Norway's Sentimental Value and Stellan Skarsgård for awards. Strong is preparing to play Mark Zuckerberg in Aaron Sorkin's The Social Reckoning, set from 2018 to 2021 and opening October 9, 2026. The film covers Facebook's shift in strategy and the Wall Street Journal's reporting on the Facebook Files. Strong praised the screenplay and is doing deep research on Zuckerberg influenced by Daniel Day-Lewis's methods, and he reunites with Jeremy Allen White.
