Donaald Trump previously hosted “The Apprentice," which ran from 2004 to 2017 and appeared on the show’s spin-off, “The Celebrity Apprentice,” until 2015 when he was let go by NBC for making controversial remarks about immigrants during his 2016 presidential campaign.
Now, a new film, also titled "The Apprentice" will follow Donald Trump’s “efforts to build his real estate business” in New York City in the 1970s and 1980s. Now fans are getting a first look at Sebastian Stan stepping into the role of a young Trump.
The Marvel star was spotted with a yellow wig, which closely resembles the former President's hair, while also wearing a black dress jacket, a light blue dress shirt, and a matching tie. Stan was seen sitting on a park bench eating a sandwich as crew members filmed a scene for the upcoming movie.
Stan is set to act alongside Jeremy Strong as attorney Roy Cohn and Maria Bakalova as Donald’s first wife, Ivana Trump.

The upcoming film 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,” per Deadline.
Gabriel Sherman has been tapped as the writer for the upcoming film, who wrote the book “The Loudest Voice in the Room,” which inspired Showtime’s limited series “The Loudest Voice.”
Donald Trump Currently On Trial In New York
The former President is currently on trial as he was questioned for intentionally inflating his property and assets — in other words, committing fraud.
On October 25, during court, Michael Cohen, Donald Trump’s former lawyer, and recent foe, was asked if Trump or Allen Weisselberg directed him to inflate the numbers, to which Cohen responded with, “Not that I recall.”
One of Trump’s attorneys, Cliff Robert, then asked for a directed verdict as he argued the key witnesses testified that the defendant didn’t tell Cohen to inflate the numbers. The judge denied the request, which is when the former President immediately got up and stormed out of the courtroom. The action forced the Secret Service agents to chase after him.
President Donald Trump Called Out By Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy
A few months ago, the former president said he could “solve” the war in Ukraine in just one day if he were reelected as President. Trump also added that the negotiation process would be “very easy.”
“I would say certain things to Putin. I would say certain things to Zelenskyy,” Trump said at the time, adding that he’d “make a fair deal for everybody.”
In a recent interview, Volodymyr Zelenskyy challenged former President Donald Trump‘s offer to go to Ukraine and stop the war in a single day. Read what the Ukrainian President had to say here.
