In many ways, we’re living in the world that Mark Zuckerberg built. No other person is as responsible for social media ’s rapid ascendance into ubiquity over the last two decade.

Jeremy Strong may soon be getting a perm and rocking a gold chain. The Oscar-nominee and Emmy-winner is the top choice to play Mark Zuckerberg in Aaron Sorkin’s “The Social Network Part II,” another hyper-literate examination of the dark side of Silicon Valley.

Jesse Eisenberg—who starred as Mark Zuckerberg in 2010's 'The Social Network'—might not return for the sequel, as Jeremy Strong is rumored to be joining the cast.
