The cast of The Apprentice includes Jeremy Strong from Succession, who portrays Roy Cohn, a notable attorney who served as a mentor to Trump during his formative years. Maria Bakalova, known for her role in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, plays the role of Trump’s first wife, Ivana.
As of now, it has a solid 77% Tomatometer score and appears to be on track to become a major success. According to THR, the film is expected to receive a comprehensive awards campaign.
Despite initial plans for its release, doubts surrounding the film’s availability have lingered. The Apprentice faced legal backlash, as the Trump campaign expressed intentions to take legal action against scenes depicting interactions between Trump and Ivana, which are said to be inspired by their divorce proceedings.
As of now, a cease & desist has been issued by the legal team, but a lawsuit has not yet been filed. As of the time of writing, neither Trump’s lawyers nor his campaign have made any statements regarding the US release of the film.
