Sony Pictures has dropped the first trailer for The Social Reckoning, a sequel to the Oscar-winning film The Social Network. Set over a decade after its predecessor, the new movie delves into the fallout from the Facebook Files investigation and former employee Frances Haugen's disclosures. It stars Jeremy Strong as Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, Mikey Madison as whistleblower Haugen, and Jeremy Allen White as Wall Street Journal reporter Jeff Horwitz.

Trailer shows Zuckerberg defending his company's influence on communication
Unlike The Social Network, which focused on the founding years of Facebook, The Social Reckoning dives into the scrutiny faced by the company over its role in spreading misinformation and user safety. The trailer shows Zuckerberg preparing for congressional questioning while defending his company's influence on online communication. Other cast members include Bill Burr, Betty Gilpin, and Wunmi Mosaku.
