As a seasoned gamer and Marvel enthusiast with over two decades of comic book and movie-related experiences under my belt, I must say that the whole AI debate surrounding the Thunderbolts poster has been quite intriguing. While I’ve seen some pretty questionable CGI in my time (I’m looking at you, Hulk from Ang Lee’s Hulk), this six-finger Sentry business is a whole new level of speculation!
The latest trailer for “Thunderbolts” was unveiled along with a poster showcasing Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, newcomer Lewis Pullman portraying Sentry, and the rest of the star-studded cast. Some spectators speculated that Marvel Studios may have employed AI to design the “Thunderbolts” movie poster, but this claim was swiftly disproven by others.
When the fresh trailer for “Thunderbolts” appeared, Marvel Studios simultaneously unveiled a poster showcasing an eclectic group of outsiders. This assembly includes Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova, Sebastian Stan’s Bucky Barnes, Hannah John-Kamen’s Ghost, Wyatt Russell’s U.S. Agent, Olga Kurylenko’s Taskmaster, and David Harbour’s Red Guardian. The “Thunderbolts” poster also showcased Andrew Scott’s Sentry, a formidable character in Marvel Comics history, and some fans pointed out an intriguing aspect that sparked speculation about AI manipulation in the image.
According to several users like Peyton: Super Nerd, the Thunderbolts movie poster appears to depict Pullman’s Sentry with six fingers. This detail led to speculation that Marvel Studios might have employed AI to design the poster, as it is common for AI-generated images to struggle with accurately portraying fingers. Peyton: Super Nerd expressed his disapproval, stating “It seems time to let @Marvel know that such oversights are unprofessional and not acceptable! I won’t be watching this movie now.” Meanwhile, another user, mirrorbell, suggested Marvel Studios might have intentionally included Sentry’s sixth finger as part of the storyline.
It turns out that some fans, including Hassan Hamid, observed that Sentry’s apparent sixth finger was merely an odd positioning. As Unreal Sushi humorously pointed out, “It certainly seems like he has one, but it’s just strange placement, lol.” Jordan Van Glish, another user, addressed those who speculated that Marvel Studios used AI for the Thunderbolts movie poster, suggesting they were similar to conspiracy theorists. In their words, “Conspiracy theorists often fill in these logical gaps with their preconceived notions, such as ‘the world is being lied to,’ or ‘AI is replacing art and adding extra fingers to a professional movie poster.’ The next time you come across such gaps or seemingly unanswerable questions like ‘who built the pyramids’ or ‘why does this hand appear to have six fingers,’ take a moment to think more deeply about it before jumping to conclusions.
Although Marvel Studios didn’t employ AI in the creation of the Thunderbolts movie poster, viewers might jump to hasty conclusions due to Marvel Studios’ past experiences with AI. Previously, Marvel Studios used AI for the intro of Secret Invasion, a move that drew strong criticism from fans. The critics argued that Marvel Studios’ decision to use AI for Secret Invasion was yet another instance where human artists were overshadowed by technology, resulting in an unsatisfactory, ‘ugly’ outcome.
Absolutely, not every person harbors apprehension towards AI. In fact, Donald Glover advocated for it, pointing out its potential to aid artists and solve issues, even though he acknowledges why some might fear its capabilities. As Marvel Studios may appear blameless in using AI for the Thunderbolts movie poster, it seems unavoidable that Hollywood will increasingly employ AI for marketing materials (and beyond). Consequently, fans and artists should adapt to this evolution.
Thunderbolts* is scheduled to be released in theaters on May 2, 2025.
