Before The Verge, he wrote about comic books, labor, race, and more at io9 and Gizmodo for almost five years. The Social Network is finally getting a sequel courtesy of Sony. Though Fincher is not attached to the new movie, Aaron Sorkin — who wrote the first — is coming back to write and direct Part II. No production timelines or casting announcements have been made, but Sorkin will produce the project alongside Todd Black, Peter Rice, and Stuart Besser. Last year, Sorkin teased that he’d been contemplating a sequel to The Social Network that might dig into the way Facebook helped foment the rage that culminated in an attempted coup on January 6th, 2021.
