* ''VideoGame/StreetFighter6'' sees Ken Masters undergoing a FugitiveArc after being subject to a FrameUp by [[BigBad JP]] and Nayshall, pinning him as being involved in a terrorist plot and various financial crimes. Part of this involved a deepfake video that plastered his face as that of the head of an unknown terrorist organization -- Interpol saw through the ruse and know that Ken is innocent, but this information spread so rapidly among the public that [[HeroWithBadPublicity Ken's reputation took a nosedive regardless]], with him being forced to go further into hiding due to threats against him and his family's lives.

* ''Al Davis vs. the NFL'', a 2021 documentary that's part of ESPN's ''30 for 30'' series, digitally reconstructed the film's two main characters, both long deceased—Al Davis, owner of the team now known as the Las Vegas Raiders, and Pete Rozelle, the NFL commissioner with whom Davis frequently clashed. The filmmakers were aided in this process by having access to a large amount of NFL Films footage of both men.

* ''Film/BladeRunner'': The original version had a shot during Zhora's death where it was obvious that a stunt double (more specifically, the awful cheap wig they had to use) was standing in for the actress. For the 2007 [[ReCut Final Cut]], actress Joanna Cassidy's face was digitally superimposed over that of the {{stunt double}}.
** ''Film/BladeRunner2049'' has this to recreate [[spoiler:[[http://ew.com/movies/blade-runner-2049-rachael-sean-young-cameo/building-a-mystery Rachael]]]].
