Sony Pictures has thrilled fans by announcing the upcoming sequel to the popular movie, The Social Network.
American filmmaker, Aaron Sorkin, is following up on the drama-history movie, now officially titled The Social Reckoning, for its second instalment.
On Friday, September 26, Sony Pictures announced that the Oscar winner, Jeremy Strong, will replace Andrew Garfield and will play the character of Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg, in the second sequel of the best-selling movie.
The Amazing Spider-Man star, who broke out with his role in The Social Network in 2010, was asked by IndieWire at the New York Film Festival if he would appear in the upcoming sequel.
To which, Garfield responded while confirming he will not join the cast for the upcoming sequel, saying, "No, no," he said, before adding, "Eduardo is in Singapore having a good time."
According to Variety, the 42-year-old American actor reportedly dropped out of the new sequel after his controversial scene shot in the first season, a rift immortalized on film by Garfield’s scene-stealing "f*** you flip flops" monologue.
However, the actor has not revealed the actual reason for dropping out of the movie.
The production of the new film is expected to begin next month, per the outlet.
