Following his remarks on the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) strikes, Disney CEO Bob Iger came under fire from the main actor of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. Tatiana Maslany came out against Iger while at the picket lines in front of Netflix’s offices in New York City’s Union Square after the Disney CEO recently said he was “disturbed” by the strikes and claimed the demands made by striking writers and performers were unreasonable. Maslany, who is presently playing in Grey House on Broadway, thinks Iger is being uncaring about the struggles of the authors and players. She declared, “I think he’s totally out of touch.” He is totally out of touch with the staff members that produce his shows, motivate viewers to watch them, and bring in business for him.
Maslany elaborated on her experiences working with Disney, particularly when portraying superhuman single attorney Jennifer Walters/She-Hulk in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, which aired for one season on Disney+ as part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Phase Four. Maslany claims that Disney exploits its employees more than it would want to admit. The amount of income that is not shared with the individuals who really produce the programme is astounding, and having worked on a Disney production, I am aware of the places where people are exploited and fall through the cracks. Crew, actors, and writers are that, she remarked. On the same day that it was revealed Iger had extended his contract with Disney through 2026, he made remarks on the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Iger claims that the salary raises that writers and performers are requesting are unattainable since the film and television industries are still recouping from the profound economic effects of the COVID-19 outbreak. The head of SAG-AFTRA, Fran Drescher, has referred to Iger’s new views as “repugnant” and Maslany is just one of many who have criticised them.
Both strikes started following their separate contract impasses with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), with the WGA strike starting on May 2 and the SAG-AFTRA strike starting on July 14. Multiple Disney and Marvel productions have been delayed as a result of both strikes; Marvel has announced the postponement of several films, including the next Avengers flicks Fantastic Four and Thunderbolts. According to many experts, neither strike will likely come to an end very soon. Maslany is renowned for her performances in the science fiction thriller Orphan Black, for which she received a Primetime Emmy. She co-starred with Jameela Jamil, Ginger Gonzaga, and Mark Ruffalo in the film She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. The show was nominated for a Visual Effects Society Award, the MTV Movie & TV Award, and the People’s Choice Awards.
