Complete List of Allowed Public Figures in Digen·Sora 2

Which celebrities and historical figures can you actually use?

OpenAI has implemented strict copyright and likeness protections in Sora 2, prohibiting the use of living modern celebrities unless they’ve given explicit consent. However, this doesn’t mean you’re limited in creative expression—a vast array of deceased icons, historical figures, religious leaders, literary and artistic legends, and public domain fictional characters are fully permitted for AI-generated video content.

These individuals are generally considered part of the cultural or historical public domain, making them safe and inspiring choices for storytelling, educational content, or stylized reimaginings.

🧙 Fictional Characters

⚠️ Note: Joan of Arc appears here as a legendary/mythologized figure in folklore and fiction, in addition to her historical/religious role.

Usage Notes & Best Practices:

• ✅ All listed individuals are deceased or public domain characters, compliant with OpenAI’s safety and copyright policies.
• ⚠️ Joan of Arc appears in both Religious Figures and Fictional Characters due to her dual status as a historical saint and a legendary/mythologized figure in literature and media.
• ❌ Do not attempt to generate videos of living celebrities (e.g., Taylor Swift, Tom Hanks, Beyoncé, Elon Musk, etc.)—Sora 2 will block or reject such requests.
• 🎬 Creative tip: Enhance realism by adding era-specific details (e.g., “1940s Hollywood studio,” “1960s recording booth,” “Renaissance workshop”) to your prompt.

Now, pick your favorite icon from history, art, music, or myth—and let Sora 2 bring them to life. 🎥✨
