Yes.
All actors are in danger, because actors are an expense. And as franchises get stronger, they are an expense that is no longer vital.
You don't have to pay an engineer tens of millions to appear on screen. You can pay them peanuts to generate a replacement.

The thing is, too, as stuff like this gets more commonplace and shittier, we're going to lose the ear to tell the difference.
What I mean is, CGI can be incredible and flawless and indistinguishable, like it was for a while as the art of it was being showcased; or it can be Marvel's crunched out fast food junk, which is now the standard.
When AI voice work becomes commonplace, it'll get reduced to the same lifeless kind of mass production product as that, something that's as cheap and easy and standard to produce as possible, and we'll all get used to hearing voiceovers in that range. And the reality is, no matter how advanced it gets, AI is never going to come up with stuff like Mark Hamill's Joker out of the blue.
