Hello Creators,
WAN just rolled out Animate, a brand-new feature inside WAN 2.2 that looks like it could be a serious player in AI character replacement.
Up until now, our go-to for this kind of workflow has been Runway Act Two — smooth, reliable, and battle-tested. But with Animate entering the scene, WAN is making a clear move to compete head-on in one of the most practical (and in-demand) areas of AI video.
What Animate promises
- Full character replacement — swap actors or figures in a scene
- Dynamic motion handling — preserve body movement and pacing
- Consistent style — keep the rest of the video looking sharp and coherent
- Powered by WAN 2.2 — with all the rendering upgrades that came in the latest release
Why it matters
Character replacement is one of the hardest and most valuable tricks in the AI video toolkit. Whether it’s for film, advertising, or social content, being able to swap characters without breaking immersion opens up huge creative possibilities.
WAN’s Animate could finally give creators a fresh alternative to Runway’s Act Two — and in this space, competition means faster innovation.
