When Samuel L. Jackson appeared in Captain Marvel, The actor was digitally recreated to look like an age-appropriate version of himself for the 1990s film. But underneath it was the performance of a modern actor, not just computer graphics. So Jackson isn’t being hypocritical when he swears he won’t allow any projects to be created digitally, either internally or digitally. It’s amazing Cinematic Universe Or Star WarsAfter death.
The Nick Fury showrunner is finally directing his own Marvel project on Disney+’s current show Secret invasion Ministers said A rolling stone Since he became a star, he has been wary of studios using his image The Phantom Menace:
I got a scan for George Lucas for the first time [for The Phantom Menace] “Why is this?” I said. George and I are good friends and we laughed at him because I thought he was doing it because he had all those old men. Part IAnd if something happened to them, he still wanted to put them in the movie. Ever since I’ve been in the Marvel Universe, every time you change clothes in a Marvel movie, you get scanned. Since I did Captain MarvelThey did the Lola Project where they made me and other stuff old, like, “Well, I guess you can do this whenever you want.” It can be stressful. Prospective actors should do what I always do when I get a contract and it has the words “forever” and “known and unknown” on it: I’ll cross that shit. It’s my way of saying, “No, I don’t accept that.”
Considering how much AI is being used by actors today on various projects, I’d say they should be equally concerned that studios are effectively stealing their images for their own personal gain. The latest Flash The film brought Christopher Reeve, who died in 2004, back to life as Superman. The rise of Skywalker He did the same for Leia Organa with the late Carrie Fisher. Here’s hoping actors new and old take note and follow Jackson’s lead.
Jackson’s statements come at a sad time for Marvel Studios, which is currently under fire. Using artificial intelligence To create the opening credits Secret invasion You know, instead of real artists. It is very easy to imagine the studio. Being more willing to replace actors with AI-generated doppelgangers as well.
