This has shaken up the production and has caused fans to worry about the future of the series.

What Is Scabbing?

Scabbing is a term in the entertainment industry used to refer to the practice of hiring non-union workers to do union jobs during a strike. In the current situation, the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) is threatening to strike due to the issue of poor working conditions and unfair wages. Tony Gilroy has been accused of hiring non-union workers to continue production during this time.

Who Is Tony Gilroy?

Tony Gilroy is a veteran writer and director with an impressive resume. He is best known for his work on the Bourne series, Michael Clayton, and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. It was his work on Rogue One that earned him the position of showrunner for ‘Andor’. The show follows the adventures of Rebel spy Cassian Andor, played by Diego Luna.

The Impact of Gilroy’s Departure

With Tony Gilroy stepping down from his position, there are concerns about the future of ‘Andor’. The show was set to debut on Disney+ in 2022, but this recent development may cause delays. Without its showrunner, the situation is uncertain, and the production team will need to find a replacement quickly.

What Is Disney’s Response?

Disney has made no official statement regarding Tony Gilroy’s departure. However, they have stated that they are monitoring the situation and are working to resolve it as quickly as possible. With the potential of a strike looming, they will need to take action fast to keep the show on track.

Final Thoughts
