Hollywood has officially been shut down as SAG-AFTRA formally announced its first film and television strike since 1980 at a press conference at its Los Angeles headquarters on Thursday. While the WGA has been on strike since May and certainly impacted a number of productions — particularly in television — the work stoppage from the actors will grind Hollywood to a complete halt. Some major films were still in production at the time of the strike, from Marvel sequels to huge franchises, but those are now on pause, putting their release dates in jeopardy depending on how long the SAG-AFTRA strike will last. Here are all the movies currently being affected by the strike.

Deadpool 3 (Marvel Studios)
Ryan Reynolds set the internet on fire when he released the first pic of Hugh Jackman in his classic Wolverine suit. However, the production of the third “Deadpool” movie will be affected as the superhero film still had weeks to go to with production initially scheduled to wrap in September.

Beetlejuice 2 (Warner Bros. Discovery)
The highly anticipated sequel starring Michael Keaton and Jenna Ortega had wrapped its UK portion of the production however, the strike will affect the US portion of the sequel’s production.

Juror No. 2 (Warner Bros. Discovery)
Nicholas Hoult and Toni Collette star in a legal drama directed by Clint Eastwood about a juror who begins to suspect that he may have caused the victim’s death.

Gladiator 2 (Paramount)
“Aftersun” star and Oscar Nominee Paul Mescal is starring in the “Gladiator” sequel directed by Sir Ridley Scott which is pausing production in Malta due to the strike. The film also stars Denzel Washington, Pedro Pascal and Connie Nielsen.

The Amateur (20th Century Studios)
Rami Malek stars in the 20th Century Studios thriller “Amateur” which centers on a CIA cryptographer who loses his wife in a London terrorist attack. After his bosses refuse to take direct action, he blackmails his own agency into training him to allow himself to do the job himself.  Production in the UK will hit pause.

Wicked Part 1 (Universal)
John M. Chu directs the adaptation of the Broadway muscial which stars Ariana Grande as Glinda and Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba. The film is scheduled to be released on Christmas next year and will resume production after the strike is settled.

Twisters (Universal)
“Where the Crawdads Sing” star Daisy Edgar-Jones stars in the sequel to 1996’s “Twister” which centered on storm chasers. Given the combined storm of both the WGA and SAG strike, production will resume once that storm has passed.

The Killer (Universal)
Nathalie Emmanuel, best known for her roles as Ramsey in the “Fast & Furious” franchise and Missandei in HBO’s “Game Of Thrones,” stars in John Woo’s reimagining of his 1989 film “The Killer” for Universal Pictures.

Bad Boys 4 (Sony)
The fourth entry in the “Bad Boys” franchise starring Will Smith and Martin Lawrence was in the midst of production with only a few weeks left to wrap principal photography when the SAG strike authorization was called.

Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning Part 2 (Paramount)
