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

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 to duplicated faces, inconsistent gaze direction, and oddly proportioned limbs as potential indicators of AI generation. Despite this, a Disney/Marvel representative confirmed to IGN that AI was not used.

Alternative explanations for the four-fingered man include a finger hidden behind a flagpole (deemed improbable), or simply a Photoshop error. Similarly, repeated faces might be a result of common post-production techniques like copying and pasting background actors.

Marvel's lack of direct comment on the issue leaves room for ongoing debate. The controversy has undoubtedly heightened scrutiny on future marketing materials. Further details on "Fantastic Four: First Steps," including features on Galactus and Doctor Doom, are forthcoming.
