Actor to play Steve Jobs as Universal Studios take over Biopic

Following Sony's abrupt exit from Aaron Sorkin's Steve Jobs' biopic, Universal Studios has taken over the film, and has chosen Michael Fassbender to play the character of the late Apple co-founder.

The X-Men actor is taking over from Christian Bale, who was Sony's choice for the biopic. The Steve Jobs biopic will focus on his life in relation to his relationships with coworkers and loved ones.

Natalie Portman and Steve Jobs' daughter, Lisa, will reportedly star the film.
