“The Fantastic Four: First Steps” tells the story of Marvel’s first family and stars Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic; Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm/Invisible Woman; Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm/The Thing; and Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm/The Human Torch.

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.

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.

You’ll remember that Marvel Studios did in fact use AI to create the opening sequence of its Disney+ series Secret Invasion as it fit the series’ shape-shifting plot. The show follows Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury, who is investigating shape-shifting alien Skrulls who have populated Earth.

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