I think I’d prefer if they didn’t, tbh. I really enjoy seeing the actors transform into the character they’re portraying without looking exactly like them. I understand the appeal of immersion, but it would kind of rob the film of having its own character.
I recognized at least 20 actors in Oppenheimer, but that didn't impact my immersion at all because they did such a phenomenal job. I don't think deepfaking the real Oppenheimer's face onto Cillian Murphy would've made a difference.

That is why
Prepare for the deep fake remake of all the biopics ever made.
Not if the Hollywood unions get their way
Bold of you to assume there will still be an actor involved.
Slightly less soon, the totally artificial simulation will look just like the subject, no actor necessary..
Beauty not being nigh mandatory for lead roles could be interesting. Deep fakes could mean that it doesn't matter how the actor looks at all.
