๐ซ Deadpool 3 Halt! Lights, Camera, No Action as Hollywood Strike Takes Effect ๐ฌ
TL;DR;
๐ง โDeadpool 3โ has dropped its weapons and called it quits amidst the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike. While Ryan Reynoldsโ fast-quipping Merc with a Mouth takes a breather, other productions are either soldiering on or wrapping up their shoots before the strikeโs effect becomes more pronounced. Controversially, some say studios are plotting a robotic takeoverโฆwith AI. ๐ค
โ๏ธ Youโve heard it right folks, Deadpool 3โs production has hit a brick wall thanks to the SAG-AFTRA actorsโ strike. Seems like our favorite fast-talking, katana-wielding anti-hero is out of wisecracks for now. Remember, though, he did endure the WGA writersโ strike, albeit with a catch โ our beloved Ryan Reynolds couldnโt make up his wisecracks on the spot. Ainโt that like a burger without cheese? ๐
Our cinematic gladiators including Hugh Jackman reprising his role as Wolverine and Jennifer Garner returning as Elektra are also benched for the moment. Weโve recently got a glimpse of Deadpool and Wolverine strolling down the lane, with Wolverine donning the good old X-Men outfit. Seems like that bromantic walk will have to wait. ๐
Other blockbuster sequels like Gladiator 2 and Mortal Kombat 2 are also in the same shaky boat as Deadpool 3. Seems like Hollywoodโs going on a break! ๐ But itโs not all doom and gloom. Some productions have found their lifeboats. How? Well, letโs say they are blessed by the British.
You see, House of Dragon season 2 is still flapping its wings, thanks to the majority cast being a part of the UKโs Equity Union. Even Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power season 2 managed to tie a neat little bow on their production before the strike dawned. ๐งโโ๏ธ
Now hereโs where things get juicy. ๐ฟ At a recent press conference, SAG-AFTRAโs chief negotiator, Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, spoke about an alleged proposal from the studios. An AI proposal, to be precise. Could our beloved heroes and heroines be replaced by codes and algorithms? ๐ค
Remember folks, this ainโt advice, just news. It seems like Hollywoodโs going through a bit of a cliffhanger episode right now. Whatโs next? Will our beloved actors return to the screens or will studios take a deep dive into the realms of artificial intelligence?
As we wait for the credits to roll, I gotta ask, how would you feel if Deadpoolโs wisecracks were scripted by an AI? Could the robotic humor match the wit and charm of our beloved Merc with a Mouth? ๐ฌ๐ค
