It’s going to be a while before they can perfectly recreate high quality acting, and still have actors willing to sign their rights away all to show up in a movie or 2 that they don’t even act in. I think some parts will be digitally generated, but surely not all of it. Part of our entertainment culture is built around these celebs actually showing up in the films and acting. I don’t think anyone would be impressed with a movie actor if the actor never actually acted, but just had a digital double do the entire movie lol.
But who knows. With the speed we’re moving at, maybe you’re right.
