An extra in Marvel's 'WandaVision' reportedly said she was herded to a trailer for a body scan and never told when or how her likeness would be used
One of the biggest worries among striking Hollywood actors has been the possibility of studios using AI to replace them.
Rubalcaba told NPR that she was never told how the digital replica of her that was created that day might be used. Nor was she told that she would ever receive payment from it, she said in the interview. Disney did not immediately return Insider's request for comment. Insider reached out to a profile matching Rubacalba's name and image on Facebook, but did not receive an answer ahead of publication.
Big names in the industry might have more power to prevent their digital likenesses from being used —, for example, once said in an interview that he always reads over his contracts and removes clauses that allow studios to use his image"in perpetuity." Less successful actors, however, might not feel like they have that same agency. NPR interviewed 5 extras in total who also said that they underwent body scans by studios and feared retaliation if they pushed back or refused.
