This means that actors must sign on without knowing the full details of the project they are committing to. For Pfeiffer, this was a challenge, but she eventually decided to join the cast of Ant-Man.

“You don’t really know what you’re getting into. And then you get a script sort of right before you start shooting and it all changes. And then it changes every day.”
