In an exclusive statement, De Niro lamented, “I’ve battled mobsters, faced off against raging bulls, but working with woke individuals – that’s where I draw the line. It’s a role I won’t be taking on.”
This unexpected departure has left Hollywood buzzing with speculation. Is this a cinematic coup against the woke culture, or is De Niro merely method acting in real life? Some industry insiders suggest that he might be preparing for a role as a non-woke activist, sparking rumors of a gritty reboot of “Taxi Driver” set in the Twitterverse.
Stallone, on the other hand, remains tight-lipped about the situation, possibly pondering the script’s next plot twist. Will De Niro’s departure result in a tale of artistic differences, or is this a strategic move to secure a more ‘traditionally awake’ leading man?
