Fans were disappointed that "Alien: Romulus" used AI to replicate Ian Holm's likeness. But director Fede Álvarez said it was done with "respect" and his family's permission.
Just cast a different actor to play the same character. Audiences will figure out who it's supposed to be. For instance, Doctor Sleep. It's not a great movie at all, but it's kinda fun and there's cool moments. Jack Torrance from The Shining reappears in it, several times, played entirely by a different actor than Jack Nicholson and the actor isn't even doing a precise Nicholson impression. But it's still obvious who it is.
Just do that, have confidence enough to use different actors play the same characters.
I hate hate hate this
