As for during the writer’s strike, I believe they could still film what was written. They just couldn’t write more or change the script. So I;d guess the idea might have been to film as much as they could, then do rewrites and reshoots after the strikes end.
Everything I’ve read has suggested Drew Barrymore was going unscripted until the WGA strike was over (i.e. they were fully working within the terms of the strike).
Deadpool 3 is filming using a shooting script written by WGA members. Barrymore and Maher would have started filming with themselves replacing the work their writers would’ve done.
That’s not really scabbing?
Is Ryan Reynolds a scab because he’s still filming Deadpool 3?
Except they’re not? Filming was shut down as soon as the SAG-AFTRA strike started.

Yes? Don’t cross the picket line.
But they didn’t, all 3 have operated under the unions own rules here.
No, Maher and Berrymore were told explicitly that if their shows came back during the strike they would be scabbing.

Do you have a source to suggest otherwise?

Unscripted is improv, which is a type of writing and therefore scabbing. Ryan Reynolds wasn’t doing improv on Deadpool 3 once WGA went on strike.Reynolds work counted as writing since he’s a writer. Improv isn’t writing usually
Lol you’d rather fake the meaning of words than believe a Mother Jones article, of all things, is bullshit.
Sorry about that, was a misunderstanding on my part.
