      I mean, it makes sense to ask him since he played the role first, but Jesse doesn’t really sport the AI creepy robot look as Zuck does currently, so Jeremy makes more sense.

      Plus I feel like Jeremy just from the trailer makes Zuck completely unlikeable, as he should be.

      I’d guess that last sentence was the final straw. That’s heartbreaking to be presented with something like that to sign and the cross emotions dealing with a fan giving you something like this, because you can’t get angry so the only solution is putting on a fake front and dealing with it.

      Jeremy Strong playing Zuckerberg is the only reason I’m even remotely interested in watching this film.

      Totally get it. He has to deal with all the dumb shit that follows such a role. We don’t.

      Thank god Jesse didn’t return. Great actor, but Jeremy Strong looks like a perfect fit for current Zuck

      Jesse gave too much pathos to Zuck.

      We now know Zuck is totally, at best, a Mark II automaton with outdated, non-upgradable emotional and social programming.

      Armstrong looks like he’s nailing that

      Kendall Roy as Zuck has my interest peaked tho, honestly looking really forward to this movie

      I like the idea of new actors putting different spins on characters, sorta like Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal vs Brian Cox

      In the future people will look at these softball-ass “biopics” about these billionaire fucks and wonder “what the fuck, why?”

      Absolutely adore Jeremy Strong, absolutely loathe Zuck, and this conflict is making it so hard for me to both watch and avoid this. 😅
