Marvel Denies Using AI to Create The Fantastic Four: First Steps Posters, Despite One of Them Appearing to Show a Man With 4 Fingers

Author : Isabella Update:Feb 27,2025

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.

Further fueling speculation, fans pointed out duplicated faces, inconsistent gaze directions, and oddly proportioned limbs, all commonly associated with AI-generated imagery. Despite this, a Disney/Marvel representative confirmed to IGN that no AI was used in the poster's creation.

The four-fingered anomaly has prompted various theories: the finger might be hidden behind the flagpole (though unlikely given the angles and proportions), or it could simply be a Photoshop error. Similarly, repeated faces could be a result of reusing background actors, a common post-production technique.

Marvel's lack of specific comment leaves room for ongoing debate. The incident highlights the increased scrutiny surrounding AI use in film marketing and the potential for misinterpretations of post-production techniques. Further analysis of future promotional materials is anticipated.
