Deadline reports. “‘The Apprentice’ is an exploration of power and ambition set in a world of corruption and deceit,” the film’s description reads. “It’s a mentor-protégé story that charts the origins of an American dynasty.“Filled with larger-than-life characters, it reveals the moral and human cost of a culture defined by winners and losers.”Aside from that vague description, not much else is known about the film.
However, it has been confirmed that production is already underway.Joining Stan, 41, in the film is “Succession” alum Jeremy Strong and Oscar nominee Maria Bakalova as attorney Roy Cohn and Ivana Trump, respectively. The Post reached out to Stan’s rep for comment. News of Stan’s casting as the former President of the United States has divided fans on social media.
“Excited to see Sebastian Stan take on the role of Donald Trump in the new film,” one user posted on X (formerly Twitter). “Sebastian is great,” Patrick Schwarzenegger, son of former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, weighed in. “Love him.
He also must have a really great team. He gets amazing projects.”“That is not a bad likeness,” a third person commented, before asking if Trump, 77, would appear in the film. Another joked: “Watch me being attracted to young Trump.
Sebastian Stan, the power you have.”Despite these positive comments, many others were taken aback by the Marvel heartthrob’s casting.“They can give Trump the ’90s soft lighting all they want, but we all know that is some extremely kind casting. I’m not even a Sebastian Stan girl, but please. That is some ‘Crown’-level casting,” one social media user said, referring to the backlash the Netflix show received for casting a “too handsome” Dominic West to play King Charles.
