"On the $1.92 billion-grossing Spider-Man: No Way Home, stars Toby Maguire and Andrew Garfield’s deals weren’t completed until around December 2020, more than a month into filming. Writers Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers spent Christmas reworking the third act to include the Spider-Man actors, who gave input on the script. On Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018) uncredited screenwriter Patrick Burleigh (Eternals) hammered out 25 pages a day on set, with director Peyton Reed and Marvel execs, including Kevin Feige, sitting in a room to review his work every evening."

kevin needs to get his shit together this is getting pathetic. and just another reason writers are striking to begin with.

Literally every MCU film is going to pause. For some reason (we all know why) reddity MCU stans think this is an outlier and Mahershala has just been difficult but the writers strike is going to affect projects like these and especially stuff like the fantastic four which doesn’t even have an official cast yet.

The fact that the studios think writers will buckle from not being paid for months when that’s EXACTLY what they do to us anyway? We will outlast you you soft salaried fucks! (Also we’re selling feet pics, hmu)

lol exactly

most hollywood writers are either broke or nepo/trust fund babies, there’s truly no in between

Same for my non-writer friends in the industry. ALL of them are waiting to be paid for some work they've done and they shrug when I get outraged on their behalf. Even now when I think about it !!!!

I am not sure this movie is ever getting made, writers' strike or not.
