Warner Bros Discovery’s film studio has been through a series of shake ups this year, most recently with the exit of Courtenay Valenti, the ascendance of Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy and the unsuccessful negotiations with Dan Lin to run DC. Despite the tumult, the studio has one very powerful ally as it tries to find its cadence.

Angelique Jackson Though “Don’t Worry Darling” director and star Olivia Wilde may have been “gobsmacked” to be honored as one of Elle’s Women in Hollywood on Monday night, she used the opportunity to speak candidly about her experiences as headline fodder during the film’s press tour and to urge women to “keep fighting through the hellfire” of the patriarchy in the entertainment business and beyond. Before the crowd of about 200 guests seated for the open-air dinner held at the Getty Center in Los Angeles, Wilde began her biting, yet lighthearted speech with a joke about finding out there were seven other honorees — Ariana DeBose, Anne Hathaway, Issa Rae, Sydney Sweeney, Sigourney Weaver and Michelle Yeoh — also being recognized. Wilde went on to say she’d “learned so much” from them all, describing them as an “extraordinary list of women who have not only inspired me forever, but who have forged the very shape of this industry through their hard work, bold choices and resilience.”

Other than their obvious creative skills, they are among a growing number of stars born outside the U.S. who have signed talent deals in the last year. Deadline estimates as many as 20 first-look or multi-title deals have been struck by global streamers or LA-based studios since the beginning of 2021.

"Insecure" star Issa Rae is criticizing Hollywood for defending Ezra Miller after their "atrocious" behavior.  "I’m gonna be real, the stuff that’s happening with Ezra Miller is, to me, a microcosm of Hollywood," Rae said, according to Elle Magazine. "There’s this person who’s a repeat offender, who’s been behaving atrociously, and as opposed to shutting them down and shutting the production down, there’s an effort to save the movie and them." The actress’ comments come on the heels of Miller’s series of arrests and abuse allegations over the past year.  The "Rap Sh!t" creator continued to speak out about the #MeToo movement and how Hollywood treats women.  "Insecure" star Issa Rae is criticizing Hollywood for defending Ezra Miller after their "atrocious" behavior.

Ezra Miller‘s string of erratic behavior over the past couple of years appears to be over, with the actor currently seeking treatment for “complex mental health issues.” And while it remains unclear if Miller redeems themselves enough to return to full-time acting —Miller uses they/them pronouns— it does look like Warner Bros. will stay the course with their release of “The Flash” next June.
