Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige and co-president Louis D'Esposito have sent an email to the staff about the production shutdowns of Marvel Cinematic Universe movies and shows in response to the strike initiated by SAG-AFTRA, the actor's union. Filming on Deadpool 3 and Sony Pictures' Venom 3 has been halted since the strike was called for by SAG. According to THR, Feige and D'Esposito expressed their gratitude towards the team for their hard work, provided words of encouragement about the studio overcoming this challenge, and expressed hope for a swift resolution and a new deal with SAG-AFTRA.
We appreciate the dedication and hard work you have put into your respective projects. We understand that it can be disappointing when things don't go as planned, but in the production business, change is inevitable. Our teams are experienced in facing unexpected challenges and overcoming them. We sincerely value your efforts to make the most out of the current situation. We remain optimistic that a new agreement will be reached soon, allowing us to continue the excellent work we have in progress.
