New amazing four posters were not created with AI, says Marvel

What do four fingers have and love the amazing four? Not an AI-generated image, according to Marvel. Along with the first trailer of the day to The Fantastic Four: First Steps, The study also released several very cool, very nostalgic-looking teaser posters that you see a glimpse of above. However, Eagle-Eyed fans noted that in at least one of the posters has a few of the depicted people (such as the woman with the camera and the man with the blue flag) only four fingers, which is usually a Surefire sign that something was created With generative artificial intelligence.

However, this is not the case with these posters. A spokesman for Marvel confirmed to The wrapping (as well as to IO9) that AI was not used in the creation of these new Great four Posters. No other details were revealed.

Some fans may be quick to reject the denial, especially since Marvel has used generative AI in the past (in the credits of Secret invasion). But the study definitely knows that lying if it would be worse than actually using AI, so we believe it. And while the denial does not explain why these people have four fingers, it can be an arbitrary number of things, from poor photoshopping, to awkward composition, to physical amputation. Maybe two people with four fingers were just as together!

Plus, although they may not be perfect down to the last details, the posters are undeniably lovely. The way they catch a certain tone and feel without even using the characters has very much encouraged us not only to the film but to the rest of the marketing as we approach on the 25th of July release date. Here we hope we get more cool posters, more emotional trailers and finally a movie worth to Great four title in a way that has never happened before. Here’s the full set.

Here is the excellent official description of the film from Marvel, which opens July 25:

“Set on the lively background of a 1960-Talls-Inspired, Retro-Futuristic World, Marvel Studios’ The Fantastic Four: First Steps Introduces Marvel’s first Family-Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic (Pedro Pascal), Sue Storm/Invisible Woman (Vanessa Kirby), Johnny Storm/Human Torch (Joseph Quinn) and Ben Grimm/The Thing (Ebon Moss-Bachrach)-As they stand to their most scary challenge yet.
