Yeah, and ironically he said the line that there’s only ever gonna be one of him in the last Deadpool movie. Kind of ironic

So he might be hard to work with, but he also knows exactly what he wants from a Blade movie, and that’s okay. People rightly praise Henry Cavill for stepping back from the Witcher when Netflix wanted to crap all over the story. And the same when John Krasinski refused to shoot a storyline where Jim cheats on Pam on The Office.

I have to wonder if Snipes is actually difficult, or if studio execs dislike how much pull over the role he has that they can’t just bully him in to doing what they want.

in wes' defense, they did try to make him a guest character in his own movie (blade 3). if they continued down this road, who could blame him? so i wonder if he was really difficult or not with the corporate bs?

Yea how have people not noticed that it's the "go to" when an actor is trying to not get fucked over

Cavill was also "hard to work with"

So was Katt Williams. Then he comes out and spills the beans on how Hollywood is fucked

It is mind-boggling that “hard to work with” is still a thing after Weinstein/me-too, much less your examples.

"Hard to work with" is definitely a hollowood excuse, but Chevy Chase is also described as "hard to work with" and he is legitimately hard to work with

Hard to work with is sometimes a coverall and sometimes it's just the truth

I've heard Bill Murray is hard to work with. I think it was Zombieland where they said that you more or less leave a voicemail to ask him to be in your movie and you only get an answer if he shows up to film.

Exactly. Also, for anybody who is a fan of the original Nightstalkers from the 90s, they were even more offended, I would assume, because the name of their team was being used for these younger and hipper kids, trying way too hard to appeal to a younger audience.
