Marvel denied using AI artwork in posters for 'Fantastic Four: First Steps' just hours after the studio began receiving backlash on social media.

Directed by Matt Shakman, The Fantastic Four: First Steps features Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach. The film is set to premiere in July. Comments are moderated and generally will be posted if they are on-topic and not abusive.

Despite speculation on social media, Marvel did not use AI to create a new poster for The Fantastic Four: First Steps, the studio said Tuesday. The Disney-owned studio unveiled the First Steps poster in conjunction with the film’s first teaser early Tuesday morning.

People in the poster appear to be missing fingers or legs - common hallmarks of Gen-AI models - but the studio says that's not the case.

Marvel says that those new Fantastic Four posters were not, in fact, made by AI - despite those wonky little details. Following the release of the first trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps, the studio shared a brand new series of posters on social media.

Marvel Studios is facing backlash over allegations that one of the posters for The Fantastic Four: First Steps features AI-generated artwork. The studio has denied those claims. This controversy surfaced shortly after the studio unveiled a highly anticipated first trailer during a special event at the U.

Marvel Studios has reponded to all of the claims that it used AI to help create some of The Fantastic Four: First Steps posters.

In response to a wave of backlash this morning, Marvel has denied the use of AI in the creation of a new "Fantastic Four: First Steps" poster.
