Yes.

as soon as they figure out the formula to making an animated character as compelling as an actor, yes. Right now every single movie is built as a vehicle for the star to get awards and it ruins many otherwise decent films. If producers can cut out actors entirely it would improve the overall quality of films.

No, but they will be 90% computer-generated/enhanced with live actors attached for name recognition. For the past several years, Disney (and likely other studios as well) have been developing technology allowing them to "fix" actors' performances in post-production, either by combining multiple takes or creating an entirely new output. This, combined with advances in greenscreen rendering (real-time motion tracking instead of months of rendering) means that movies will be produced much more quickly, efficiently, and cheaply. At the end of the day, that's the only real goal of these companies. youtube.com

All that already happened over ten years ago.

Rango was still a purely animated movie that filmed the VAs for the animators to visually reference--it wasn't motion-capture. A novel technique, but still a far cry from digitally manipulating live footage of actors to create the illusion of a more compelling performance.

There will be a brief period where attractive people license their image to Hollywood studios, but then AI will be able to create beautiful humans from scratch. At that time, the studios will begin to wean audiences off of expecting a big name to headline the movie.
I also predict that deepfakes will lead to an explosion in CP videos in the next few years, where the producers take girls from southeast Asia, dye their hair blonde, and deepfake the faces of attractive white children over them.

Exactly. My point is that it's becoming more widespread to the point where only the actors themselves will be real, and even they won't be 100% "real." Even the costumes won't always be real: the time travel suits in Avengers Endgame were added on in post-production because they hadn't finished designing them. Time is money, and studios will do anything to save money in the short term.
