Joseph Gordon-Levitt is taking on a new role!

The 40-year-old actor is set to star as Uber’s former CEO Travis Kalanick in the upcoming Showtime anthology series Super Pumped, per Deadline.

The show is based on Mike Isaac‘s best-selling book Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber and will chart the company’s rise and fall as one of Silicon Valley’s most prolific start-ups.

Super Pumped is being helmed by Billions co-creators Brian Koppelman and David Levien and has reportedly been in development at the network since 2019. Each season of the show will focus on a story that rocked the business world and ultimately impacted the wider culture.

The director of 10 Things I Hate About You recently revealed that Joseph dated one of his co-stars from the movie!

Travis Kalanick has decided that he will step down from President Trump‘s economic advisory council following lots of backlash that included a #DeleteUber campaign.

The Uber CEO faced criticism after the president signed an executive order banning refugees and other immigrants from seven Muslim countries.

“Earlier today I spoke briefly with the president about the immigration executive order and its issues for our community,” Kalanick said in a statement. “I also let him know that I would not be able to participate on his economic council. Joining the group was not meant to be an endorsement of the president or his agenda but unfortunately it has been misinterpreted to be exactly that.”

Celebs like Jaime King and Billy Eichner are speaking out with their thoughts on Kalanick‘s decision. Read below!
