Actors literally run these films and will always do so and always have. Top a listers will always have the most impact in every way and that’s what you need to pay attention to.

not true on most levels .... they will certainly have input, but rarely try and take over. i worked on a terrible movie called "Dirty Grandpa" with a very nice, but not a super experienced or powerful director. De Niro and Efron took the direction as needed and didn't pull their weight. Have seen this in many other scenarios with big stars and new directors.
