New Movie Stars Sebastian Stan as a Young Donald Trump

It has been revealed that Sebastian Stan will star as a young Donald Trump in a new movie, The Apprentice, by Ali Abbasi.

Described on Deadline as an exploration of power and ambition set in a world of corruption and deceit, The Apprentice is a mentor-protege story that charts the origins of an American dynasty.

Production has reportedly commenced this week with Jeremy Strong starring as Roy Cohn, with Maria Bakalova as Ivana Trump.

Written by Gabriel Sherman, whose novel was the basis for The Loudest Voice on Showtime, the film is said to take place in '70s/'80s New York while Trump was building his real estate business.

Abbasi's last film, Holy Spider, was a Palme d'Or Nominee at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival, where Zar Amir Ebrahimi won Best Actress for her portrayal of Arezoo Rahimi. Abbasi also served as a director on two episodes of HBO's hit The Last of Us.
