BAFTA winner Wunmi Mosaku, best known for her work in “Loki” and “Sinners,” is set to join “The Social Reckoning” at Sony Pictures.
The project serves as a companion piece to the Oscar-winning 2010 drama “The Social Network” which was penned by Aaron Sorkin directed by David Fincher. Sorkin returns to write but is also directing this time.
The true story follows how Frances Haugen (Mikey Madison), a young Facebook engineer, enlists the help of Jeff Horwitz (Jeremy Allen White), a Wall Street Journal reporter, to go on a dangerous journey that ends up blowing the whistle on the social network’s most guarded secrets.
Jeremy Strong and Bill Burr co-star in the film with Strong expected to play Mark Zuckerberg. The film is said to be inspired by a series of articles Horwitz wrote called ‘The Facebook Files’.
Those articles looked at the company’s own reports on the negative effects its social media was having on teens and kids, how it knew misinformation was proliferating and causing violence, and how it contributed to the 2021 U.S. Capitol insurrection.
Specifics on who Mosaku will play are under wraps. Todd Black, Peter Rice, Sorkin and Stuart Besser are producing the film which opens October 9th 2026.
Mosaku will also appear in Tim Blake Nelson’s forthcoming prison break thriller “The Life and Deaths of Wilson Shedd”.
