In 2015 he captioned a photo: “One of my favourite traditions is handing out scratch tickets to the cast and crew. Maybe this is THE one!?”

The film is among scores on hold after 160,000 actors went on strike over the increasing use of AI.

Hollywood is facing virtual shutdown as 160,000 actors, including Brad Pitt, Meryl Streep and Jennifer Lawrence, joined the picket line.

The industry in the US ground to a halt after a breakdown in negotiations between the Screen Actors Guild union and streaming services.

Both sides failed to agree on fairer splits of streaming profits and the potential use of artificial intelligence to replace actors.

There are fears the strike could last months amid the deadlock.

The strike is likely to delay most big US films and TV series and add pressure on cinemas battered by competition from streaming services.

Gladiator 2, which is filming in Morocco, and Mortal Kombat 2 are among movies likely to halt production imminently.

The walkout would be the first by actors against the film and TV industry since 1980.
