Jesse Eisenberg has revealed why he chose not to reprise his role as Mark Zuckerberg in The Social Reckoning. The actor portrayed the Facebook co-founder in the Oscar-winning 2010 film The Social Network, but the character will instead be played by Jeremy Strong in the upcoming sequel.
Writer and director Aaron Sorkin recently revealed that he spent three days trying to persuade Eisenberg to return, but the actor ultimately declined. Eisenberg has now opened up about the decision.
