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 posters, one of which sparked controversy.

The poster, shown below, features a man seemingly missing a finger while holding a Fantastic Four flag. Fans also pointed out duplicated faces, inconsistent gaze direction, and oddly sized limbs, further fueling AI usage suspicions.

However, a Disney/Marvel representative stated that AI was not utilized. Explanations for the four-fingered man range from a finger hidden behind the flagpole (deemed improbable) to a simple Photoshop error. The duplicated faces might be attributed to common post-production techniques like copying and pasting background actors, rather than AI generation.
