The US Netflix will require the vaccination certificate to the actors and workers of its filming
The
'We Are the Best'
franchise will
continue without Gordon Bombay.
Actor
Emilio Estévez
, who reprized his role from the 1992 film and its 1994 and 1996 sequels in the first season of
'We Are the Best: A New Era'
, will not return to the second season of the
Disney +
series
, according to a exclusive to the specialized medium
Deadline
.
According to this information, the
ABC Signature
studio
, which produces the sequel in series format and belongs to
Disney Television Studios
, has made the decision
not to renew Estévez for the second season after weeks of negotiation
between the studio and the actor's team for the requirement of vaccination on Hollywood shootings.
Ahead of the filming of the second season of
'We are the best: a new era'
, as in many other series of the Disney television studios, the company has adopted a
mandatory vaccination policy for the cast and crew of Zone A
, which includes all actors and the team that is in direct contact with them. This possibility was included in the return-to-work negotiation between the Hollywood studios and the major unions.
According to the sources consulted by
Deadline
,
Estévez, through his representatives, has refused to give guarantees that he would comply with the policy
.
With the two parties at a standstill while the scripts for the second season were being written and the start of production approached, scheduled for the first months of 2022, the studio has decided not to exercise the actor's option.
The scripts will be adjusted to continue the story without the character.
Meanwhile, sources close to Estévez consulted by
Deadline
indicate that creative differences may have played a role in his departure.
Although not yet a general policy, the Zone A vaccination mandate has become an industry standard.
Netflix
has made vaccines mandatory in Zone A in all its productions in the US.
Disney TV Studios
has introduced the policy into the new series as of now, as well as several of the existing ones.
The actor, director and screenwriter
Emilio Estévez
(New York, 1962) is the son of
Martin Sheen
and brother of Ramon Luis Estévez,
Charlie Sheen
and Renné Estévez. Unlike his father and brother, Emilio decided not to adopt a stage name. His most relevant works include '
The Breakfast Club'
, '
Young Guns'
, '
Bobby'
or 'Mission: Impossible'.
Estévez is the second star to leave a production due to mandatory vaccination in recent weeks.
Rapper
Ice Cube has
left production on the Sony comedy
'Oh hell no!'
- and gave up a $ 9 million salary - after being told he had to get the vaccine.
On the other hand, actor
Miles Teller
cost Paramount Plus $ 6 million after his positive Covid-19 test forced to close the production of
'The Offer'
, according to
The Hollywood Reporter
.
