Hollywood is already struggling with how to handle these types of issues, with actors wanting to maintain control of their likeness and studios wanting to be able to own those at the very least as a "work for hire" property in the context of a movie character. Not that this is completely new. Crispen Glover sued over the producers of 'Back to the Future II' using another actor to give the impression of him playing the George McFly character instead of recasting the character or writing around the absence of the character. IIRC, Glover ended up winning.
