The poster of "Thunderbolt" seems to use AI, causing controversy. The Sentinel actor seems to have 6 fingers on his right hand

Marvel Studios recently released the first promotional trailer for "Thunderbolt", in which the Sentinel, known as the most powerful hero in the Marvel Universe, finally made his debut.

Although the promotional poster of "Thunderbolt" released on social media also received praise from many fans and moviegoers, the right hand of Sentinel actor Lewis Pullman in the poster has a very strange shape, as if it has 6 fingers. Therefore, many netizens believe that Marvel used AI to create the poster.

However, a closer look reveals that since not all of Lewis Pullman's right hand fingers appear in the poster, the cropping of the picture and the bending angle (the actor is in the lower left corner of the poster, especially the position of the little finger is controversial) seem to be the reason why people mistake five fingers for six.

Of course, it is understandable that many people first thought of the creative errors caused by the use of AI, because Marvel Studios has already used relevant AI technology. In the 2023 Disney+ series "Secret Invasion", its director Ali Selim confirmed the audience's speculation that AI was used in the opening. He said that he did not "really understand" how artificial intelligence works, but thought it was consistent with the theme of the series.
