Anthony Mackie is calling out Hollywood conglomerates amid a potential SAG-AFTRA strike on the heels of the WGA’s own.
Since early May, the Writers Guild of America has placed a work-halt order for union members due to negotiations for fair wages and in response to the threat of A.I. entering writers’ rooms. The Directors Guild reached a deal with the AMPTP to avoid a strike; however, SAG contract negotiations in response to AI and streaming residuals are still underway.
“It’s a shit show if we go on strike,” Mackie told Inverse, noting the only way to move forward is to find a fair deal between studios and the Guild. “They’re going to have to. Unless they get a bunch of fucking YouTubers to make ‘Avengers 5’!”
The MCU actor continued, “Once the studios went public and were bought out by major companies, we were fucked. It’s no longer about art.
