Fantastic Four: First Steps Posters Draw Controversy Over Possible AI Use

Marvel denies AI involvement in "Fantastic Four: First Steps" poster creation, despite fan speculation. The marketing campaign for the film 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, refuted these claims, stating that AI was not employed in the poster's creation.

The four-fingered anomaly has prompted various explanations. Some suggest the missing finger is concealed behind the flagpole, while others attribute it to simple post-production errors or inadequate Photoshop skills. Similarly, repeated faces might be a result of common background actor duplication techniques rather than AI generation.

Marvel's lack of a direct response to the four-fingered issue leaves room for ongoing speculation. The debate surrounding AI's potential role will likely increase scrutiny of future film promotional materials. Further details on "Fantastic Four: First Steps," including features on Galactus and Doctor Doom, are forthcoming.
