Unlikely. Jackson is Darth Vader to Warners Palpatine.

He literally lobbied the New Zealand Government to change the labour laws to avoid paying his employees any benefits on The Hobbit movies (they became "independent contractors" so no sick pay, job security, or holiday pay).

Actors Guild went on strike over it. If anything, Jackson will be the one using Weta to create AI versions of those pesky actors.
