He just doesn’t want someone to make a dude of the dude playing the dude disguised as another dude.
If anyone can afford suing Disney, it's RDJ.
When suing a multibillion dollar corporation, that has more money than sense, it's going to be a war of attrition. RDJ likely has millions and would probably prevail in court but this assumes that SCOTUS, who currently being fucked in the ass by corporations, will rule in his favor.
Sure RDJ can afford it. But it will be bloody. Like Endgame.
He's not suing the company. He's suing the executives that approved the digital recreation.
He's smart for saying he'll sue the people that make the decision. Just suing a company is pointless.
Didn’t he already have himself de-aged for at least one of the Marvel movies (Winter Soldier?)? Granted, I’m sure there’s a big difference in how these technologies are used, but it just seems like the de-aging thing was one of the first steps in creating digital replicas. I’m sure somebody somewhere already has the files to make a RDJ replica if they wanted to, but using somebody’s likeness without their consent is already a sue-able offense, so this doesn’t seem like anything new.
He is talking about the studio using a digital recreation independently of his acting. Digitally de-aging his performance is more like makeup from an acting perspective no matter what the technical comparison is.
He signed off on those. He's talking about digital recreation without his explicit approval.
