The ability to bring an actor back to life is now ancient technology, e.g. Carrie Fisher in "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker" by altering unused footage of her. The very first generations of AI could seamless replace the face of anyone in a movie with that of anyone else, prompting fears of entire movies that, say, could feature Elvis singing to Marilyn Monroe.

However, what we are now talking about is creating the entire scene out of whole cloth. So then why not the characters as well? Recall how once Friends became a thing, the actors each wanted a million dollars an episode. There are all sorts of examples of actors quitting TV shows to make movies. Who wants to worry about that? That being said, no question that if a completely fictional TV character becomes popular, I can see said likeness being licensed for use in a movie.

BTW, technically all we are talking about are cartoons that have come to life. It would be like putting on AR glasses and trying to figure out if that pool of water or even hot lava that appears to be in the middle of the sidewalk is real or augmented. In these cases, you could simply take off your glasses. But what safeguards are in place to be sure that folks know that an alleged incriminating video of us is provably AI?
