It was recently announced that Marvel actor Sebastian Stan would be playing none other than Donald Trump in the upcoming film The Apprentice. Now our first look at Stan as a young version of the former United States president has been revealed.
Sebastian Stan was pictured on the set of the film in Toronto. Viewers can even see Stan as he eats a sandwich during production. The actor has clearly been transformed into Trump, with everything from clothing to hair being part of the illusion.
There aren’t many details regarding the plot of the film available at this time, though it’s been stated to be “an exploration of power and ambition, set in a world of corruption and deceit.”
“The Apprentice will examine Trump’s efforts to build his real estate business in New York in the ’70s and ’80s, also digging into his relationship with infamous attorney Roy Cohn. It’s a mentor-protege story that charts the origins of a major American dynasty.”
