And this is the point we arrived as 'humans': instead of promoting a new guy, we need the former guy because we remember him.

The Die Hard movie franchise very much has Bruce Willis as the protagonist. It wouldn’t really be the same without him.

The Star Wars franchise had Mark Hamil as the protagonist.

But Andor might be the best piece of Star Wars media.

We can move on past our initial actors. Dr. Who, James Bond... It's ok to let franchises evolve.

Nah, the best piece is The Mandalorian season 2. Not least because of Mark Hamill!

One could argue that still Sean Connery is the Bond for the older generation. The first era of Bond. Imho only Daniel Craig compares to Sean Connery from the second Bond era.

Trying to say, yes you can move past initial actors, but not all of them will be of equal quality.

A well known actor lends a certain credibility to a film. Big stars do big (or good) movies - at least that's what they want you to think. Of course if deep fake stars become the norm, maybe the credibility will go away

At this time the highest payed stars are not payed to act but to have a super muscular body with a pretty face (which is really hard work). Soon the muscles will be all digital though.

I usually just cut&paste a photo of my head over Ahnold's body. So far it's working great!

Negative, I am a Meat Popsicle.

We need former guy because he’s good, not because he’s former.

what is cheaper?
