Aaron Sorkin is diving back into the world of Facebook with a “Social Network” follow-up featuring Jeremy Strong as Mark Zuckerberg and a newly minted Oscar winner as a whistleblower.
One detail has already caught attention: comedian Bill Burr is in talks to join the cast. His role is described as fictional or composite, unlike the other characters based on real people, which places him in a unique position within the story and suggests the film may use him as a way to expand beyond direct portrayals.
A well-known stand-up comedian has joined the cast of The Social Network 2. Released in 2010, The Social Network is a drama movie about the creation of Facebook that is directed by David Fincher and written by Aaron Sorkin.
