This rules out costumes inspired by Warner Bros' summer hit Barbie, Netflix's Wednesday series, and Christopher Nolan's box office triumph Oppenheimer.
Members of the Screen Actors Guild - American Federation of Television and Radio Artists have been barred from dressing up as characters from films or TV series made by studios at loggerheads with actors, for Halloween.
In guidance issued through an Instagram post this week, the union said those staying in solidarity with the strike should "choose costumes inspired by generalised characters and figures" like a ghost, zombie, or spider.Those observing the industrial action are also encouraged not to post photos "inspired by struck content" on social media.
Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds used the opportunity to poke fun on X, formerly Twitter: "I look forward to screaming ‘scab’ at my eight-year-old all night. She’s not in the union but she needs to learn."The interim agreement between some studios and SAG-AFTRA has provided an odd bit of wiggle room. It might prove disconcerting for Hollywood's biggest stars, many of whom enjoy showcasing their over-the-top - and pop culture-inspired - costumes when high-profile Halloween bashes are thrown.
