The writer’s strike probably still won’t be really felt for a while, but this will have an immediate effect. No press junkets, no premieres, no conventions, etc.
Conventions are still happening, but actors can only talk about old work, nothing active. That makes sense, but curious if actors will just refuse to go altogether. Would be wild for SDCC to become an actual comic book convention again.
Edit: Maybe not? I've seen conflicting sources on that.
The linked article says “During the strike, actors will not be permitted to promote past projects through conventions, interviews or panels.” That seems to me like they can’t promote anything they’ve acted in, no matter how old.
Odd, I read the opposite somewhere else but perhaps that's wrong.
It would be nice to go back to the old ways.
