Part 5/10:
Despite the report's findings, high-profile actors and industry insiders have been notably quiet. The absence of voices like Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, Pedro Pascal, or Rachel Zegler is conspicuous. The usual eagerness to champion diversity and inclusive stories has diminished, leading to speculation about whether Hollywood is intentionally shrinking these roles or simply reflecting a changing cultural tide.
Some commentary points to the lack of advocacy from industry leaders or organizations like the Human Rights Campaign (HRC). The silence hints at a broader reluctance or disinterest within Hollywood to double down on woke narratives, especially as studio priorities shift toward more lucrative formats or other ideological topics.
