In his conversation with Inverse, Anthony Mackie expressed how the actors going on a strike will lead to a “sh*t show.” He’s hoping that a fair and impartial agreement is reached between the concerned parties.

The MCU actor continued, “Once the studios went public and were bought out by major companies, we were fu***d. It’s no longer about art. It’s no longer about interesting, fun work.
Anthony Mackie added, “It’s about end-of-the-quarter profit sharing. It’s about shareholders. So you’re literally just r***ng and pillaging the industry. It’s cannibalism.”
