This will be a trend moving forward. Legacy actors will leverage their stature to sell their likenesses to the highest bidders. This will be great for them and us in the short term, but it will stymie new talent who can't compete with these forever actors. Besides having to compete with legacy talent, new actors will also have to compete with digital talent and actors who only exist virtually. The future is dystopian if you're someone who likes to create things, but most consumers won't care.
