Mikey Madison

Who plays Frances Haugen and Jeff Horwitz?

She's played by Mikey Madison in her first role since she won the Oscar for Nora.

So a completely different character.

I mean, you know, to go from a sex worker to this mousy-mannered, you know, mid-tier [laughs] engineer was just worlds apart, and she's superb in it.

While I guess this isn't necessarily a direct sequel to the 2010 film The Social Network, director Aaron Sorkin has said it is more like a companion piece.

This stars Oscar nominee Jeremy Strong taking over the role of Mark Zuckerberg, who faces headwinds when Facebook data engineer Francis Haugen, played by Oscar winner Mikey Madison, becomes a company whistleblower concerning the platform's impact on the mental health of teenagers.

She works with Wall Street Journal reporter Jeff Horvitz, played by Jeremy Allen White, to expose the company's secrets for the good of society.

This looks like it will be a tight thriller that will keep my attention.

First brand deal we ever did with you, which we were kind of already covered, but that was great.

And then like two junkets in particular, I think I really look at, and I'm sure you agree with me, the Enora junket we did with Sean Baker and Mikey Madison.

We talked about this like quite a few times already, but like we got 16 minutes.

It was really early before the awards buzz had really started.

We'll be doing that again.

Yeah, we'll be doing that again.

Number two, we've talked about it all day today, which is really great to see, which is episode 152, which is the Nora, Sean Baker and Mikey Madison conversation.

And number one...

I, I do think, like I'm, I'm not making a statement.

Like in the Anora case where everyone was upset that Mikey Madison did not have one, I think it should be up to the actors.

Uh, but I think it's good that [laughs] nobody feels aggrieved by this movie.

Yeah.

I would eventually come up with it.

So, I mean, the cast is incredible, especially because you've got Academy Award winning best actress, Mikey Madison.

who could have start jumping into every movie she was offered after winning the Oscar for Enora, but she didn't.

She even famously turned down a Star Wars film, I think.

The Bear star is set to play Jeff Horowitz in the upcoming film The Social Reckoning, but said he was initially hesitant about signing on to play the role.

Jeff is a Wall Street Journal reporter who works with Facebook employee Frances Haugen who's going to be played by Mickey Madison, to blow the whistle on the social network's most guarded secrets in Aaron Sorkin's 2026 follow-up to The Social Network.

Speaking to The Independent at The Social Reckoning's premiere in London, Jeremy said his nerves made it tough to commit to the role after portraying Bruce Springsteen in biopic Springsteen, Deliver Me From Nowhere.

He said, when I first met with Aaron Sorkin, I was so excited to talk about the film and the idea of doing this film, but I had just finished Springsteen and I was really nervous about playing another real person.

Yeah.

I heard that he and Mikey Madison, who won an Oscar, right?

Best lead actress.

Yeah, she's the female lead in it.

... their algorithm is.

Uh, she's played by Mikey Madison.

The-

Oh, really?

Mm-hmm

... their algorithm is.

Uh, she's played by Mikey Madison.
