Why The Identity of Player X Has Been Debated I sincerely hope that he doesn't hold any grudges against me for portraying him, as it was truly an outstanding role. However, I cannot recall if it happened before or after the filming.
We crossed paths once after the movie was made, and our interaction was quite enjoyable. I never had a chance to discuss it with Tobey. In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Cera shared that Maguire served as the inspiration for Player X and mentioned that he has not yet had the opportunity to discuss his performance with the star. Molly's Game features various celebrity gamblers, with Cera's character representing a mix of well-known actors such as Maguire and Leonardo DiCaprio. The film is based on Bloom's memoir and showcases how she expands her operation and eventually becomes a target of the FBI. Directed and written by Aaron Sorkin, the movie premiered in 2017 and tells the story of Molly Bloom, a former professional skier who starts running a high-stakes poker game. Michael Cera has finally confirmed that Tobey Maguire was the inspiration behind his character, Player X, in the film Molly's Game.
