In the upcoming biopic “The Apprentice,” Sebastian Stan—who is best known for playing the character of “Winter Soldier” in the MCU films—will play a young Donald Trump. The film, which is being directed by Iranian director Ali Abbasi, who is nominated for an Oscar, is currently in production and explores the captivating story of Donald Trump’s rise to prominence.
The movie focuses on Trump’s life journey, especially in the 1970s and 80s, telling the tale of his rise to prominence in the New York real estate market. His relationship with Roy Cohn, played by Emmy winner Jeremy Strong and Trump’s mentor before his disbarment for unethical behavior, is central to this story.
Sebastian Stan, best known for his parts in “The Covenant,” “Pam and Tommy,” and “Captain America: The First Avenger,” steps into the role of the young real estate magnate and perfectly captures the essence of Trump’s formative years.
The movie dubbed a “mentor-protege story,” explores the moral and human costs in a society where ideas of victory and defeat shape society while illuminating the beginnings of an American dynasty.
The film’s account of Trump’s rise to prominence, however, coincides with the former president’s legal whirlwind, as he contends with 91 felony accusations in four distinct criminal cases. Concurrently, a widely reported fraud case is on trial right now in Manhattan. Trump’s political ambitions are unaffected by these legal complications, and there are many rumors that he may run as the Republican nominee in the next US election.
