Ready Player one movie coming out

[Sakurra]

So there is this movie full of these things called Easter Eggs coming out called Ready Player One. I won't spoil which characters I have seen so far but I have a question that I can't find anyone else talking about and was hoping someone here could clarify.

Are all these characters from video games, movies, anime, cartoons etc; are they all avatars of real people or are they artificial intelligence?

I've tried Googling this question but it's like finding a needle in haystack.

I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks!

They're avatars that people create for themselves when they gho inside the game world.

It's an incredibly good book. I knocked it out in one day because I couldn't put it down. You should read it before the movie comes out.

I've heard it's a good book but I currently don't have any plans to see this movie. It does interest me but I must know if any of these virtual characters are just people using them as their avatars, or if they are some kind of artificial intelligence. That's my deciding factor in watching this movie.

For example, I don't believe Mario is in the movie but I could be wrong but if I see Mario, is that Mario artificially or is that someone using their avatar as Mario?

Best to just watch it for yourself. But most notables: Delorean from Back to the Future, King Kong, The Iron Giant, Tracer from Overwatch, Chucky and a tons of other missed characters.
