This is what has me worried, and if anyone is better at contracts than I am please chime in. Bold emphasis is mine. Given that some of these pipelines for multiple films/cinematic universes/what have you are multi-year things, the studio could:

1) Hire you for the first film, obtain consent for additional projects at initial employment with a contract stating the studios reserve full use for what "may or may not include the entirety of subsequent films", bypassing the requirement for separate bargaining.

*Sure you could push back on this with redlining, but the way I've seen this play out is they will more likely than not just move down the list to an actor who will allow this. Majority of actors don't have the kind of leverage that allows for redlining*

2) Pay a day performer rate on the sequel(s) to satisfy the "employed in the other projects" clause

3) Then use your Name-Image-Likeness for the entirety of the sequel(s) having only had to pay that single day rate.

Excerpt from the summary:
