But is that Scarlett Jo or Producers of Her that own the copyright?

If you imitate Darth Vader, I don't think James Earl Jones has as much case for likeliness as Star Wars franchise

James Earl Jones sold his voice rights to Disney a couple of years ago, so they can continue to use an AI likeness of his voice for future movies. https://ambadar.com/insights/james-earl-jones-signs-off-his-...

It's both.

If you just want ScarJo's (or James Earl Jones') voice, you need the rights from them. Period.

If you want to reuse the character of her AI bot from the movie (her name, overall personality, tone, rhythm, catchphrases, etc.), or the character of Darth Vader, you also need to license that from the producers.

And also from ScarJo/Jones if you want the same voice to accompany the character. (Unless they've sold all rights for future re-use to the producers, which won't usually be the case, because they want to be paid for sequels.)
