I am confused as to how the same actors end up playing multiple superheroes.

Back in the 1970s, you could make a movie for the cost of a large house. A studio could finance a lot of movies and take risks. Now $100 million for a movie is the norm. You want to take as few risks as possible. That means using popular actors over and over.

I just hope it doesn't mean AI actors in the near future. We could potentially be the last generation to see new actors to reach super star status.

Movies didn't kill live theater, and records didn't kill live concerts/cabarets. For all we know, AI might spark a backlash and a return to movies with more 'practical' special effects and less CGI. On the other hand, they used AI to bring John Lennon back from the dead, so we might see a bunch of movies with John Wayne and Marilyn Monroe.
