Part 4/14:
A recurring theme revolves around actors signed under long-term contracts—such as six-picture deals—only to find that these deals do not guarantee actual participation. Several actors, like one from the Eternals, expressed frustration after being contractually bound but left uncertain about their roles or whether they would appear in subsequent films. This situation evokes memories of old Hollywood contract systems where actors, signed for multiple films, had little control over their careers, regardless of box office success or failure.
