An MCU Star Just Joined The Social Network 2’s Stacked Cast
The Social Network 2 keeps stacking its cast—Loki standout Wunmi Mosaku has boarded the star-packed sequel, according to Deadline.
Another day, another big name hops onto Aaron Sorkin's Social Network sequel. The cast is getting stacked, the title is locked, and the release date is set. The actual plot? Still largely under wraps, but the broad strokes are not subtle.
Wunmi Mosaku joins the party
Deadline says Wunmi Mosaku is boarding the sequel. You probably know her as Hunter B-15 from Marvel's Loki (and she pops up in Deadpool & Wolverine), and she most recently led 2025's Sinners. No word yet on who she plays here.
The Social Reckoning is the title, and the cast is looking loaded
- Wunmi Mosaku
- Mikey Madison
- Jeremy Allen White
- Jeremy Strong
- Bill Burr
Sorkin is writing and directing
Yes, writing and directing. He penned the first movie, but David Fincher directed that one. This time, Sorkin is running the whole thing himself, which is a pretty notable twist behind the camera.
So what is this actually about?
The sequel is called The Social Reckoning, and while it is not clear how directly it connects to the original film with Jesse Eisenberg and Andrew Garfield, recent reporting makes it sound less like a return to dorm-room drama and more like a wide-angle look at what Facebook became afterward: a behemoth with massive influence and some ugly consequences.
"The story of the new feature will focus on how the company’s own reporting pointed to the negative effects the company’s social media was having on teens and kids, how it knew misinformation was proliferating and causing violence, and how it contributed to the violent insurrection of Jan. 6, 2021."
Translation: expect a movie that follows Facebook's rise into one of the world's biggest companies, then digs into how its own internal research flagged harm to young users and how misinformation spread on the platform leading up to January 6. Not exactly a feel-good pivot.
When you can see it
The Social Reckoning is currently dated for October 9, 2026.
Between the cast getting bigger by the week and Sorkin stepping into the director's chair, this one is shaping up to be one of those high-wattage projects everyone argues about the minute the first trailer drops.
