Hollywood studios break off strike talks with actors, who slam 'bullying tactics' (apnews.com)

Talks bitterly broke off between Hollywood actors and studios late Wednesday, killing any hopes that the three-month strike by performers would come to an end anytime soon.

The studios announced that they had suspended contract negotiations, saying the gap between the two sides was too great to make continuing worth it, despite an offer as good as the one that recently ended the writers strike. The actors union decried their opponents’ “bullying tactics” and said they were wildly mischaracterizing their offers.

On Oct. 2, for the first time since the strike began July 14, the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists had resumed negotiations with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, which represents studios, streaming services and production companies in strike talks.

When negotiations resumed with writers last month, their strike ended five days later, but similar progress was not made with the actors union.

I just asked the Bing AI chat to write me a plot synopsis for a hypothetical marvel movie and it wrote something totally believable.

After endgame they have to get the band back together to deal with Kang the Conqueror, and once they’re victorious they realize it’s truly the end of an era. They then go their separate ways.

I’m going to guess the studio wouldn’t like to have one last awesome movie to end the Avengers series because money.
