This is absolutely bullshit, but also half-assed cowardice. Like if you’re going to put dead people who cannot consent to the use of their image in your project, why not make Martin Luther King Jr the next T’challa in the MCU? Why not make Pope Benedict fight the mandelorian?
I mean… did you read the article? He really wanted to be in the film, and his family and estate think this is the right move and what he would have wanted. It wasn’t clear if they talked to him about it or not, but this isn’t just a blatant lets do it thing.
you don’t think his estate licensed his likeness in order to make money off of it?
I guess it depends on how much of his debt the estate still owes.
