Marvel denies using AI for its "Fantastic Four: First Steps" posters, despite fan speculation. The controversy stems from a poster featuring a character seemingly with only four fingers. While some suggest the missing finger is hidden, others attribute it to poor Photoshop work.
The marketing campaign for "Fantastic Four: First Steps" launched this week with a trailer teaser and several social media posters. One poster, however, sparked debate due to the apparent four-fingered man and other perceived inconsistencies, such as duplicated faces and oddly proportioned limbs, leading to accusations of AI generation.
A Disney/Marvel representative refuted the AI claims to IGN. The four-fingered anomaly remains unexplained, fueling speculation about potential post-production errors or a simple oversight during editing. The repeated faces might be explained by common digital techniques used with background actors, rather than AI generation.
