Hollywood actors on Wednesday anxiously awaited their union's decision on whether to strike, right at the peak of the film industry's key summer blockbuster season.

The Screen Actors Guild has already agreed to one extension of talks with the likes of Netflix and Disney, who have now called in federal mediators to help resolve the deadlock over pay and other conditions.

It would also prevent A-listers from promoting some of the year's biggest releases such as Christopher Nolan's"Oppenheimer" -- due to have its US premiere in New York on Monday -- just as the industry attempts to rebound from the lean pandemic years. But popular series set to return to television this year face lengthy delays. And, if strikes continue, future blockbuster films would be postponed too.

Like the writers, who have already spent 11 weeks on the picket lines, actors are demanding higher pay to counteract inflation, and guarantees for their future livelihoods.
