Disney’s incredible new re-aging tech could turn back time with more Hollywood heroes

Re-aging technology is all the rage in Hollywood right now. In the past five years alone, actors such as Will Smith, Robert De Niro, Chris Evans, Keanu Reeves, Mark Hamill and Ewan McGregor have been subjected to various forms of age-altering digital wizardry in a slew of big-budget films and television series.

For the most part, these attempts to trick audiences into believing that movie stars are significantly younger or older than their off-screen counterparts are less than convincing at best and downright embarrassing at worst (I look at you, The Mandalorians). but signs suggest progress is being made.
