Is Casey Affleck's career done (in terms of relevance and star power)?

Casey Affleck's sexual misconduct during the production of his directorial debut I'm Still Here was brought back into the limelight during the awards campaign of Manchester by the Sea, and was publicized more after the #metoo and Time's Up movements were initiated. Despite the public backlash, Affleck managed to have one last acclaimed performance in A Ghost Story. Affleck attempted to course-correct his past actions during publicity for Robert Redford's The Old Man & the Gun, but his statements appeared to only worsen his waning reputation (Joaquin Phoenix publicly disowned him in 2019). His most notable acting efforts include his second directorial effort Light of My Life, a starring role in Our Friend, and co-starring in The World to Come (also produced by him); each of these films received positive reviews but minimal publicity and didn't chart on top-ten lists with critics.

Affleck is slated for upcoming roles in Dreamin' Wild and Slingshot, but it seems unlikely that they're going to be the same pedigree of acting that Manchester by the Sea proved for him. Most signs seem to indicate Affleck's glory days are behind him. What are people's thoughts?
