The Hollywood strike forced millions of actors and actresses to defend their labor rights as a result of growing concern about the use of artificial intelligence in different film production companies. It was even said that some companies were only seeking to make contracts where the actor gave full authorization for the use of his image as many times as a studio required.
After the end of the protests, the actors will finally be able to promote the future productions in which they are involved, in addition to participating on the red carpets when an important film premieres. On the other hand, the production companies will restart filming of films such as ‘Deadpool 3’, the second season of One Piece, among others.
