If you read the release, it explicitly does not include the likenesses of human actors. Only animated and illustrated characters are included. (Although, that does cover animated/illustrated versions of characters that are typically portrayed by human actors...)

This is almost certainly due to the photographic/human likenesses of actors being under an entirely separate license and royalty contract than pure IP from Disney.

Interesting; what about say... ironman? Humanoid, has someone inside. Darth Vader, C3PO, or Chewbacca? Or say the Mandalorian?
