In a historic move, Hollywood’s elite have thrown their weight behind the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike. The list of the Hollywood celebs who’ve joined the forefront includes A-listers like Dwayne Johnson, and Ryan Reynolds, etc. Hollywood’s very own MMA icon Michael Jai White and his wife Gillian have also joined the fray.

The strike, which aims to secure fair pay and streaming residuals for actors and writers, has garnered widespread support. Notably, weeks ago, the ‘Fast and Furious’ star made waves with his generous seven-figure donation to the SAG-AFTRA Relief Fund. And now, there seems to be some hope for Hollywood to get back on its tracks – all thanks to an intriguing development in the strike.

In the aftermath of over 75 days of the strike – this meeting may very well prove to be a pivotal point in Hollywood’s history. But whatever the case, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson already has a lot on his plate to deal with – probably thanks to his philanthropic support of this revolutionary strike. But what repercussions is ‘The Rock’ facing? And why? Let’s find out!

Johnson faces industry-wide snub after SAG-AFTRA support

Dwayne Johnson, Hollywood’s towering titan at the age of 51, captured headlines a mere two months ago. Why? For extending his generous philanthropic donation and support to striking writers. However, the very strike he championed has now come back to haunt the wrestler-turned-actor in an unexpected turn of events.

As we all know, the Hollywood actor and former WWE superstar is not just a screen sensation. He also owns a production powerhouse known as ‘Seven Bucks Productions.’ This production company has played an instrumental role in bringing to life many of Johnson’s critically acclaimed movies, solidifying its standing in the heart of Hollywood.

Nevertheless, Seven Bucks Productions has encountered an unanticipated roadblock. According to an article by The Hollywood Reporter, NBCUniversal’s Universal Studios Group has chosen to halt its collaboration with Johnson’s production company. Moreover, Universal’s decision aligns with the actions of other major players in the industry who have suspended their operations in light of the ongoing strike, officially initiated on July 14.

The upcoming bargaining meeting on October 2 might hold the key to resolving the strike’s prolonged standoff, but its impact on Hollywood’s landscape remains uncertain. So, what do you think? Will the leaders at the helm of this strike be able to come to a mutual consensus with the AMPTP? Drop your thoughts in the comments below!
