He’s hired! Sebastian Stan has transformed into Donald Trump on set of the upcoming film, The Apprentice.

In photos exclusively obtained by Page Six, the US actor rocked the 45th US president’s wispy, sandy blond hair while shooting in Toronto, Canada on Monday.

The Marvel star was fitted in a black, single-breasted wool coat paired with a blue suit and paisley-striped tie underneath.

In one of the scenes from the forthcoming movie, Stan munched on a sandwich while sitting on a park bench during a snowy day.

Deadline reported last week that the actor — who has a history of portraying real-life people onscreen — would be playing the role of Trump in the biopic.

The Pam & Tommy star, 41, is set to act alongside Succession’s Jeremy Strong as lawyer Roy Cohn and Maria Bakalova as Trump’s first wife, Ivana Trump, who died last year.

Per the outlet, the film is described as an “exploration of power and ambition set in a world of corruption and deceit.”

“It’s a mentor-protégé story that charts the origins of an American dynasty,” Deadline added.

“Filled with larger-than-life characters, it reveals the moral and human cost of a culture defined by winners and losers.”

The film will examine Trump’s “efforts to build his real estate business” in New York City in the 1970s and 1980s.

Of course, the title of the biopic notably references the businessman’s stint on reality television beginning in the early 2000s.

Trump, 77, previously hosted The Apprentice, which ran from 2004 to 2017. He also appeared on the show’s spin-off, The Celebrity Apprentice, until 2015.

He was let go by NBC in 2015 after making controversial remarks about immigrants during his 2016 presidential campaign.

Production on the new flick comes as Trump is embroiled in a slew of legal battles concerning his time in the White House.

The twice-impeached former president is also currently standing trial on a civil fraud case in New York City.

Trump has not publicly commented on the forthcoming film, and its release date has not yet been announced.
