The Social Network cast: Where are they now?

The Social Network, then and now

When The Social Network hit theaters in 2010, David Fincher and Aaron Sorkin's drama about the creation of Facebook was lauded by critics and moviegoers alike. It earned more than $220 million at the worldwide box office, won several Academy Awards, and helped launch the careers of three future Oscar nominees. But a lot has changed in the years since the film's release: Franchises starring The Social Network alums have lived and died, Justin Timberlake had a woodsman phase, and Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg (played by Jesse Eisenberg) was called to testify before Congress regarding his company's handling of user data.

But before all of that, there were a few kids in a Harvard dorm room launching a platform that would change the world. Let's take a look at what the actors who helped tell the story have been up to.

Jesse Eisenberg (Mark Zuckerberg)

The Zombieland (2009) alum earned critical praise for his turn as Zuckerberg, landing his first Golden Globe and Academy Award nominations. Eisenberg went on to star in 30 Minutes Or Less (2011), To Rome With Love (2012), Now You See Me (2013) — and its 2016 sequel, Now You See Me 2 — The Double (2013), and Café Society (2016). He played Lex Luthor in 2016's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and his cameo at the end of 2017's Justice League teased a continued future for him in the DC Extended Universe. He reprised his role as Columbus in Zombieland: Double Tap in 2019 and starred in the 2022 miniseries Fleishman Is in Trouble.

Outside of film, the actor has stayed busy as a writer, penning a plethora of plays, short stories, and humor pieces. Eisenberg starred in several off-Broadway plays that he also wrote: Asuncion, The Revisionist, and The Spoils.

Andrew Garfield (Eduardo Saverin)

The role of Zuckerberg's friend-turned-partner-turned-adversary served as a launching pad for Andrew Garfield, who went on to headline The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014). After a busy 2016 that included his first Oscar nomination (for Hacksaw Ridge), Garfield turned his eye to the stage, where he starred on Broadway in Angels in America. Garfield's additional theater credits post-Social Network include playing Biff Loman in the 2012 Broadway revival of Death of a Salesman, and starring in The Children's Monologues at Carnegie Hall in 2017.

Since then, Garfield's been no stranger to the big screen, starring in films like Breathe (2017), Under the Silver Lake (2018), Mainstream (2020), The Eyes of Tammy Faye (2021), and playing the lead in Lin-Manuel Miranda's directorial debut, Tick, Tick... Boom! (2021). In 2021, Garfield put his Spidey suit back on for Spider-Man: No Way Home, and in 2022, he starred in the FX/Hulu miniseries Under the Banner of Heaven.

Justin Timberlake (Sean Parker)

Since playing the founder of Napster and the first president of Facebook, Timberlake has continued to act (oh, and, he invested in MySpace). Audiences can see him in films like Bad Teacher (2011), Friends With Benefits (2011), In Time (2011), Inside Llewyn Davis (2013), Wonder Wheel (2017), and Palmer (2021). Timberlake also became a familiar face on Saturday Night Live as a frequent host and music guest. He voiced Branch in 2016's Trolls, for which he co-wrote and performed "Can't Stop the Feeling!" The song was nominated for an Academy Award and won a Golden Globe for Best Original Song.

Timberlake also released three consecutive No. 1 albums and took music's biggest stage when he performed at halftime of the 2018 Super Bowl. In 2022, he appeared in two episodes of the Hulu miniseries Candy, starring his wife Jessica Biel.

Armie Hammer (Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss)

Armie Hammer was called by two names in The Social Network, starring as the twins who sued Zuckerberg, claiming he stole their idea in order to create Facebook. The actor then got his chance to headline multiple big movies, including 2013's The Lone Ranger. Hammer's role in Luca Guadagnino's Call Me by Your Name (2017) landed him multiple Best Supporting Actor nominations and was followed by appearances in Sorry to Bother You (2018), Hotel Mumbai (2018), and the Felicity Jones-led Ruth Bader Ginsburg biopic, On the Basis of Sex (2018). He played Maxim de Winter in the remake of Hitchcock's Rebecca (2020), and can be seen in Crisis (2021) and Death on the Nile (2022).

In 2021, Hammer faced multiple allegations of sexual and emotional abuse. He publicly spoke out about the allegations in February 2023, telling Air Mail he himself had been sexually abused when he was a teenager.

Rooney Mara (Erica Albright)

Rooney Mara was another actor who immediately followed Social Network with a high-profile gig. In her case, it was the lead role in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (2011), for which she received her first Oscar nomination (she earned a second one for 2015's Carol). The actress went on to star in films like Side Effects (2013), Her (2013), Una (2016), The Secret Scripture (2016), Lion (2016), Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far on Foot (2018), and Mary Magdalene (2018). She played Molly Cahill in 2021's Nightmare Alley and Ona in 2022's Women Talking.

Rashida Jones (Marylin Delpy)

With an extended run on The Office already under her belt and Parks and Recreation just beginning, Rashida Jones was one of the more established actors in The Social Network. The actress and writer has continued her impressive TV run over the years, wrapping up Parks, co-writing an episode of Black Mirror, and headlining TBS' Angie Tribeca. Jones has kept up her big-screen roles in Our Idiot Brother (2011), Celeste & Jesse Forever (2012), Zoe (2018), Tag (2018), and On the Rocks (2020). She's also voiced a number of animated characters in films like Inside Out (2015), White Fang (2018), and The Grinch (2018).

In 2020, Jones starred in the mockumentary series #BlackAF and voiced Mia in the animated comedy series Duncanville. Jones has had memorable guest-star spots on TV shows like Kroll Show, Key & Peele, Black-ish, and Toast of Tinseltown.

Max Minghella (Divya Narendra)

Starring as the friend and business partner of the Winklevoss twins was a breakout role for the English actor. Since 2010, Minghella has continued to appear in films such as The Ides of March (2011), The Internship (2013), Horns (2013), About Alex (2014), and Not Safe for Work (2014). He's also been present on TV, where he recurred on The Mindy Project and The Handmaid's Tale (the man loves a project that starts with "The"). Minghella played Det. William Schenk in the 2021 Saw sequel Spiral, and appeared in 2022's star-studded Babylon.

Dakota Johnson (Amelia Ritter)

Playing Ritter, the Stanford student who introduced Parker to Facebook, was Johnson's first adult role (more than a decade earlier, she briefly appeared in mom Melanie Griffith's Crazy in Alabama). Johnson would go on to appear in Beastly (2011), 21 Jump Street (2012), The Five-Year Engagement (2012), and star alongside Nat Faxon on the tragically short-lived Fox comedy Ben and Kate.

Johnson became well known for portraying Anastasia Steele in the Fifty Shades of Grey franchise (2015–2018). After the third and final film was released in 2018, Johnson's career continued to skyrocket as she starred in films like Suspiria (2018), Bad Times at the El Royale (2018), The Peanut Butter Falcon (2019), The Nowhere Inn (2020), The Lost Daughter (2021), and Persuasion (2022).
