AI in Marvel's Fantastic Four Posters Debunked

Author : Sebastian Update : Feb 24,2025

Marvel denies AI involvement in "Fantastic Four: First Steps" poster creation, despite fan speculation. The marketing campaign launched this week with a trailer teaser and several social media posters. One poster, however, sparked controversy due to a seemingly four-fingered man.

Fans also pointed out duplicated faces, inconsistent gaze directions, and oddly proportioned limbs, further fueling AI usage suspicions. A Disney/Marvel spokesperson, however, stated that AI was not used.

The four-fingered anomaly has prompted various theories: a finger hidden behind a flagpole (deemed improbable), a simple Photoshop error, or a general lack of attention to detail in the poster's creation. Other questionable elements, such as repeated faces, might be explained by common post-production techniques like copying and pasting background actors.
