More about the WGA Strike 

The WGA Strike was initiated as a protest against the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers. Thousands of writers are currently on strike against the AMPTP, which consists of movie production giants such as Warner Bros Discovery, Disney, Apple, Paramount, Netflix, NBC Universal, Sony, and Amazon. Along with Christopher Nolan, other major figures have also extended their support to the Writers Strike such as Elizabeth Olsen, Olivia Wilde, Cynthia Nixon, Natasha Lyonne, Jon Cryer, Drew Barrymore and Rob Lowe.

Nolan is currently gearing up for the release of his film Oppenheimer. It features Peaky Blinders star Cillian Murphy, who has worked with the Interstellar director in a number of films such as the Dark Knight trilogy, Inception and Dunkirk. Oppenheimer also features Josh Peck, Jack Quaid, Rami Malek, Florence Pugh, Emily Blunt, Robert Downey Jr and Matt Damon. It is slated for July 21 release.
