The rise of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has heralded a new era for franchises revolving around our favorite comic books, though it might not be in the best interests of actors. At least, that is what Samuel L. Jackson believes. The success has not only served as a lifeline to the comic book genre. The greater impact of the franchise was laying the base for the creation of a Universe that will span across decades.
Avengers: Endgamewas one of the most anticipated movies of all time
Avengers: Endgamewas important for various reasons. The movie not only marked the culmination of the Infinity Saga in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but it also left fans speculating about what the future held for the franchise.
The 2019 flick had marked the zenith of the MCU’s popularity. It was a festival that brought together the entire globe in celebration. When the curtains fell on the movie, there was a question at the back of everyone’s mind – how could anyone possibly top that?

A new era (with some old faces, though)
What the fans probably forgot is that the Infinity Saga is one of many storylines in the web of the Marvel Comics. The men behind the scene wasted no time in getting to work, conjuring up new characters to replace the likes of Robert Downey Jr’s Iron Man and Chris Evans’ Captain America. But the move has not come off, with the new faces failing to create the same level of admiration.
No wonder Marvel has not let go of its old guard entirely. The likes of Nick Fury and Thor are here to stay. But that begs the question – for how long? With the onset of AI, there is no limit to what technology can achieve. That has prompted theHitman’s Wife’s Bodyguardstar to issue a warning to his fellow stars.

How has Samuel L. Jackson protected himself from AI?
TheDjango Unchainedstar toldRolling Stone,
“Ever since I’ve been in the Marvel Universe, every time you change costumes in a Marvel movie, they scan you. Ever since I did Captain Marvel, and they did the Lola project where they de-aged me and everything else, it’s like, ‘Well, I guess they can do this anytime they want to do it if they really want to!’ It could be something to worry about.”
The 74-year-old is wary that the onset of AI will allow filmmakers to use an actor’s likeness for eons to come. That is why he has some words of wisdom for us all. He continued,
“Future actors should do what I always do when I get a contract and it has the words ‘in perpetuity’ and ‘known and unknown’ on it: I cross that shit out. It’s my way of saying, ‘No, I do not approve of this.’”
It seems like thePulp Fictionstar knows when to put his foot down.
