Outside Netflix's Hollywood offices, picketing screenwriters chanted"Pay Your Actors!" immediately after the strike was announced. With a stoppage looming, the premiere of Christopher Nolan's film"Oppenheimer" in London was moved up an hour so that the cast could walk the red carpet before the SAG board’s announcement.

"This is the worst time in the world to add to that disruption," Iger said in an appearance on CNBC."There's a level of expectation that [SAG-AFTRA and the Writers Guild of America] have that is just not realistic." When the initial deadline approached in late June, more than 1,000 members of the union, including Meryl Streep, Jennifer Lawrence and Bob Odenkirk, added their names to a letter signalling to leaders their willingness to strike.
