    Well, i think they can pretty reasonably argue that the companies can not take their body image «for free forever» like they are trying to do, it is just stealing at that point. If Disney wants to , say, take Harrison Ford body and make an Indiana Jones 6 with ‘‘him’’ (an animated rendering of his body), then they have to pay royalties, negotiate a contract, etc with the person, the same way any of them would do with their IPs. In general, everybody should have their body as their own IP really, by default and retroactively. With largely the same rules as the IPs of these mergacorporations, so they enter public domain after a while too ( i really want my AI-generated Buster Keaton short films … ) The actually analogous situation with us mortals getting replaced by AI, is if the Studios just straight up invent AI actors and actresses from the start and register them as their IP, and does not hire real life actors. So, an AI John Smith, that is just a program owned by Disney that their production uses in films (can we really call then films at this point ? for me everything will just be Animation henceforth). This is more probable in the long term, it even already exists in some subcultures, like some J-pop singers that are programs made by fans.
