One of the few path-breaking female directors to infuse themes of feminism and women empowerment in her movies, Greta Gerwig, is the ideal choice for a cameo in The Studio season 2. In the first season, the show had appearances by Scorsese and Ron Howard, therefore, Gerwig is apt to be next in line.

The show is about Seth Rogen’s character trying to produce quality films while facing the challenges of corporate demands. Therefore, Gerwig's appearance would blend perfectly with the series plot. In an interview with Howard Stern, Rogen even credited Gerwig for saving Hollywood with her movie, Barbie.

The endorsement for Daniel Day-Lewis comes from Rogen himself. In a recent interview with Variety on the FYC red carpet, Rogen accepted that he wants the veteran actor to be a guest star on The Studio season 2. Even though Day-Lewis has recently come out of retirement and has never forayed into comedy, Rogen believes he would be a good source of humor as the show is about Hollywood satire.

In the interview, Rogen stated that Daniel Day-Lewis is a talented actor and his “process is…specific”. Therefore, it would be interesting to explore him as a cameo in the show.
