Many fans were left confused after spotting apparent glaring inconsistencies.
The poster depicts a group of people holding up flags and banners for the Fantastic Four.
Fans pointed out two women with seemingly the same face and people with only four fingers.
One wrote on X: “Anyone notice the same lady’s face twice next to each other in #TheFantasticFour poster?
“Huge fan of the trailer but this poster is screaming AI.”
Another added: “am i going crazy or does person holding the flag on the left side only have four fingers? meaning…… ai generated?”
A third remarked: “Marvel dropped an amazing trailer for #TheFantasticFour and then immediately and brutally murdered the hype with those AI generated posters.”
While a fourth penned: “Sorry to point it out but the fantastic 4 poster has ai use in it lmao. So fun.”
Following the backlash, a a spokesperson for Marvel Studios toldIndieWire: “AI was not used in the creation of these posters.”
The upcoming film stars Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as the heroic quartet.
Unlike previous iterations, First Steps will not tell the group’s origin story.
The Fantastic Four must protect their world from Galactus, a planet-devouring cosmic being.
Actor Ralph Ineson – who has appeared in Harry Potter, Game of Thrones and Nosforeatu – will be playing the supervillain.
Meanwhile, The Fantastic Four: First Steps is scheduled to be released in the United States on July 25, 2025.

DUNNES Stores fans are set to love a new dress that’s “undeniably feminine” after it landed on racks for spring.
The Savida Lace Trim Dress is available in stores and online now.
It is priced at just €40 and comes in sizes XXS to XXL.
The retailer said: “Delicate lace and a bold check pattern make this Savida dress undeniably feminine.”
“It is designed with thin spaghetti straps and a daring side strap.
The dress can be styled with heels, shoes or trainers depending on the occasion.
Meanwhile, shoppers are scrambling to get their hands on a ‘viral suit’ – and all the major high street shops have released their own version.
The suits generally consist of a stretch long sleeve top and stretch leggings.
A fashion blogger told how Penneys have dropped the look for a bargain €20.
Amy, who posts under @balancebyamy, took to Instagram to show off her casual outfit.
She said: “I just thought I’d quickly show you before I head off to work, this little two-piece I bought in Penneys yesterday.
“I have seen these going viral on TikTok in Dunnes and Zara.
“But in Dunnes Stores they are €40, and in Zara… I’m actually not sure how much they are, probably €50 or €60 or something. Penneys is €20.”
The TikToker explained there’s some slight difference in each high street design.
She said: “I think the cardigan is slightly different from Dunnes, but I just wanted for casual wear. Now I am going to be wearing it in school.”
THE HISTORY OF DUNNES STORES
DUNNES Stores opened its first store on Patrick Street in Cork in 1944 - and it was an instant hit.
Shoppers from all over the city rushed to the store to snap up quality clothing at pre-war prices in Ireland’s first ‘shopping frenzy’.
During the excitement, a window was forced in and the police had to be called to help control the crowds hoping to bag founder Ben Dunne’s ‘Better Value’ bargains.
Dunnes later opened more stores in the 1950s and began to sell groceries in 1960 – starting with apples and oranges.
The retailer said: “Fruit was expensive at the time and Ben Dunne yet again offered Better Value than anyone else in town.
“Over time, our food selection has grown and that spirit of good value has remained strong.
“Now we offer a wide range of carefully-sourced foods from both local Irish suppliers and overseas.”
The retailer’s first Dublin store opened its doors in 1957 on Henry Street and a super store on South Great Georges Street was unveiled in 1960.
They added: “In 1971, our first Northern Irish store opened, and many others soon followed.
“Expansion continued in the 1980s in Spain, and later into Scotland and England.”
Dunnes now has 142 stores and employs 15,000 people.

The pair were placed third in the 2023 series[/caption]
During her introduction VT, the former estate agent coordinator failed to mention her former flame Tom, 25, by name as she made reference to their romance.
She said: “Last time I was on the show, I did leave with someone. Things didn’t work out and that’s why I’m back.”
The influencer donned a sexy LBD with a thigh-high split as she strode towards the firepit in the explosive scene.
Samie’s heels could be heard clattering on the boards before she announced: “You all look a bit bored.”
As Ronnie Vint jumped up, one of the lads whispered: “Samie. Wait what? Shut up.”
The series nine alum continued to address the shocked bunch as she said: “Whats happening?”
After Samie had a chat with the cast, Casey O’Gorman told Luca Bish: “You and Samie were very weird around that Firepit.”
Ronnie interjected and said: “I’ll back you, you are quiet in those scenarios, but Samie.”
Luca then conceded: “The seems like a nice girl yeah.”
Casey then probed: “Second question do you think she is good looking?” before Luca agrees.
We previously reportedSamie’s pledge to steal Lucabefore she even stepped foot inside the South Africa compound.
DM DRAMA
Stirring up the drama further after her arrival, Samie promptly refered to the secret DMs she shared with Luca in the real world.
Not pulling any punches, Samie told the former fish seller: “I fancy you, I think you’re good looking.”
He then replied: “I think you’re good looking.”
Samie followed up and said: “So you fancy me?” to which Luca added: “Erm I think you’re good looking…”
Persisting with the flirting, Samie replied: “What, are you scared of the word fancy?”
Luca’s show partner Grace – with whom he has been going from strength to strength – later found out about Samie and Luca’s DM’s from Elma.
Samie wrote on Instagram at the time: “Really didn’t want to have to write an Instagram story on this, but the comments and messages I have been getting since Tom posted his story yesterday are just not fair.
“I will be speaking about everything soon, but at the moment the time isn’t right (which I will also explain). Thank you for the kind messages; they don’t go unnoticed.”
Tom also opened up online about the tragic breakup.
He said: “Didn’t think I’d be writing this but me and Samie have gone our separate ways.
“We are still on good terms and I have nothing but love and respect for her.
“I’m gutted it’s come to an end, but I truly wish Samie the best.”

WHEN Harriet Annabelle Ward started feeling dizzy and tired at times, she put it down to stress.
The 51-year-old mum had even been examined once in hospital years earlier, but medics found nothing suspicious.

Two years later, her health declined dramatically leaving her struggling to put together sentences when speaking and with a bloodshot eye.
She was rushed into hospital, where an MRI scan uncovered a 7cm brain tumour growing across the left side of her head.
Harriet, a singer from Bristol, said: “If untreated, they said I would have died in my sleep.
“I was in shock, but I was very focused on what they were going to do and hoping it would all go well.”
Harriet was diagnosed with a grade two Meningioma brain tumour, and her husband, Christopher, was told she had just a week to live.
The only way to save her life, doctors said, would be emergency surgery to remove the growth.
Harriet’s three children – Amaryllis, Islah and Noah – were aged five, 10 and 15 at the time, and the mum was terrified that she might not live to see them grow up.
She said: “The doctors weren’t sure I’d make it.
“Before they put me to sleep, I said to one of them, ‘I’d love to see my children again’.”
Luckily, her wish was granted, and she woke up from the 14-hour surgery to find out it had been a success.
The mum was left with a heavily swollen left side of her face from the bruising and trauma to the area.
Harriet said: “I never took photos until a few weeks post-op as I was black and blue.
“I looked swollen where they cut from ear to ear.
“I was in shock.”
Since the operation in November 2021, Harriet had “very intense” radiotherapy treatment for six months, and has since been slowly recovering at home with her family.
She said of her ordeal: “I was dying to see my children – they visited me in hospital and I was desperately wanting to be at home with them.

“I felt they would be lost without me, so I knew I needed to get through this.
“The doctors felt radiotherapy was necessary as it was such a huge tumour, and hopefully won’t regrow.
“It’s been a hell of a journey but every day it’s incredible to be here with my family.
“You really do love more for today after going through something like this.”
The near-miss inspired her to record a music album, together with 22 other artists, to help raise money for Southmead Hospital, where she was treated.
She added: “My music keeps me happy, healthy and is very healing.”

The most common symptoms of a brain tumour
More than 12,000 Brits are diagnosed with a primary brain tumour every year — of which around half are cancerous — with 5,300 losing their lives.
The disease is the most deadly cancer in children and adults aged under 40, according to the Brain Tumour Charity.
Brain tumours reduce life expectancies by an average of 27 years, with just 12 per cent of adults surviving five years after diagnosis.
There are two main types, with non-cancerous benign tumours growing more slowly and being less likely to return after treatment.
Cancerous malignant brain tumours can either start in the brain or spread there from elsewhere in the body and are more likely to return.
Brain tumours can cause headaches, seizures, nausea, vomiting and memory problems, according to the NHS.
They can also lead to changes in personality weakness or paralysis on one side of the problem and problems with speech or vision.
The nine most common symptoms are:
Headaches
Seizures
Feeling sick
Being sick
Memory problems
Change in personality
Weakness or paralysis on one side of the body
Vision problems
Speech problems
If you are suffering any of these symptoms, particularly a headache that feels different from the ones you normally get, you should visit your GP.

CRISTIANO RONALDO has revealed the brutal messages he gets from his pals
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner spent part of his 40th birthday in recovery mode, as shown in a social media post.
Ronaldo shared a picture of himself on the sofa with both of his legs wearing £4,000 cryo compression boots.
The post showed just how dedicated the former Real Madrid and Manchester United star is to keeping himself in shape.
However, Ronaldo has admitted that some of his friends are not impressed with his passion.
He revealed in an interview that some will say he has “no life”.
He told Canal 11: “If you say to me ‘do you still like training?’
“I still like training. Is it the same as I felt when I was 20? No, it’s not the same.
“But I still feel the passion. Of doing a finishing training, of being there competing with others, left foot, right foot. I still like it.
“And it’s strange, there are a lot of my friends who say ‘you have no life’.

“It’s true, but I like it. I know it will end.
“In a year, or two, or three. I don’t know. And I don’t care either.”
Ronaldo has suggested he may play on for a few more seasons[/caption]
Ronaldo’s comments also suggest that the forward could continue his playing career for a few more seasons.
And he believes that should he retire he would end his career as the best ever.
He said: “I am the best player ever, I believe that.
“I’m fast, I’m strong, [I score] with my header, with the left, no one has ever been more complete than me.
“You may prefer Pele, Lionel Messi and Diego Maradona, I understand and respect that.
“If I finish on 920, 925 goals… it doesn’t matter to me at all. I am the best in history. Period.
“If I reach 1,000 goals, great. If not, that’s fine too. Numbers don’t lie.”
Meanwhile, he has recently hit out at some former managers of his as he insisted some of them were “clueless” about football.

BED-WETTING is a common occurrence for young children who are learning to control their bladders.
However, the disruption in sleep can begin to affect your child once they begin school.
Parents reported the effect bed-wetting is having on their children in a recent survey (stock image)[/caption]
Research has found that eight in 10 parents believe bed-wetting has impacted their child’s time at school.
Many respondents reported increased tiredness, reluctance in attending school, and reduced confidence.
A poll of 1,000 parents of children aged four to seven who have wet the bed in the last 12 months found it has had a negative effect on the emotional wellbeing of 59% of affected kids.
It’s left them more likely to experience tiredness in class, with 43% confirming this is the case for their child.
An additional 39% said their child has expressed a reluctance in attending school, while 63% are less confident at school as a result of bed-wetting.
It also emerged 84% of parents feel it also affects their child’s self-confidence in general.
Bed-wetting habits have left 54% of kids worried about attending sleepovers, while 23% are concerned about playdates and 21% were hesitant about going to birthday parties.
The research was commissioned by Pampers Ninjamas, which is continuing its mission to build confidence in children with its Back to School with a Boost schools programme and Confidence Building Journal.
It comes after the study found 67% of parents have highlighted a need for better educational resources around bed-wetting.
With 80% requiring resources to specifically support with the emotional impact that bed-wetting can have on their child.
Since the launch of the schools programme six months ago, 600+ schools have signed up and it has reached over 64,000 children nationally.
Paediatrician, TV presenter and author Dr. Ranj has partnered with the pyjama pant brand.
“School and social activities play an indisputable role in a child’s development, not to mention the contribution they make to their confidence and wellbeing,” the expert said.
“It is therefore essential that parents and carers feel equipped to help support their children during periods of bed-wetting to ensure no child misses out.”
The study also found 34% of parents, polled via OnePoll, said their children experience bed-wetting up to three times a week, with 91% saying bed-wetting disrupts their child’s sleep in some way.
How to get free Pampers nappies as a parent
YOU can get your hands on free Pampers nappies by heading to their website and requesting a special nappy coupon.
The coupon will then be sent to your address and you can then go to the nearest store to collect the free nappies.
One parent recently listed all the stores that have teamed up with the brand:
Morrisons
Asda
Tesco
Sainsbury’s
Boots
Parents revealed some of the strategies they have tried to help manage bed-wetting.
The top techniques include using a waterproof mattress, 62%, limiting liquids before bedtime, 61%, and using protective underwear, 47%.
As part of Children’s Mental Health Awareness Week, Pampers Ninjamas hosted a Confidence Boosting Workshop to raise awareness of the positive impact the programme can have on the emotional wellbeing of children.
“I am so proud to be helping parents and carers create a safe, non-judgmental space for communicating with their child,” Dr. Kimberley added.
“Ensuring that children feel supported at every step of their developmental journey, including periods of bed-wetting for some children, can have a hugely positive impact on their confidence and wellbeing.”

A SPANISH city with direct UK flights has been compared to the Caribbean island of Cuba – with its beaches and streets used to film famous Hollywood films.
Cadiz is one of western Europe‘s oldest cities, and is surrounded by water on three sides.
Cadiz has been dubbed the Cuba of Europe with it’s resemblance to Cuba[/caption]
Streets in Cadiz are said to resemble Havana (pictured)[/caption]
And it has been nicknamed Little Havana with many of the narrow streets and architecture resembling the Cuban capital.
Of course, it was Cadiz that came first – the Spanish city was founded around 1100BC while Havana was colonised by Spain in the 16th century.
But the resemblance is so strong, two films even used the city as a filming destination to replicate Cuba.
The iconic scene of Halle Berry on the beach in the James Bondfilm Die Another Day was filmed on Cadiz’ La Caleta Beach.
The 450-metre sandy beach remains the most popular in the city with both tourists and locals, lined with restaurants and bars.
And James Bond star Sean Connery filmed the entire 1979 movie Cuba in Cadiz.
If you really want to get into the Cuban vibes, the no.1 bar in Cadiz is Habana Cafe.
One person said: “The best Caipirinha you can find outside Brazil. Just go there, enjoy the Latin music.”
Instagrammer Patrica posted about the city’s resemblance to Cuba too and people were shocked.
One person said: “Gosh it really looks so much like Cuba. I wanna go.”
Another said: “As a Cuban that has travelled to Cadiz. Yes, what Cuba used to look like.”
Even better, is the city gets 300 days of sunshine a year remaining above 16C even in winter and up to 28C in summer.
Don’t expect many chain hotels in Cadiz, although you can find some beautiful boutique options instead.
Some of the most affordable options start from £42 a night or you can splash out on the five-star Palacio de Sancti Petri, which starts from £138 a night.
The nearest airport is Jerez Airport, which is around 30 minutes from the city.
Jet2 has flights from £72 if flying from Leeds, although also has routes from both Birmingham and Manchester.
Cadiz’s architecture is very similar to Havana[/caption]
Havana’s narrow streets are just like the Spanish city[/caption]
Cadiz also gets 300 days of sunshine a year[/caption]
Otherwise TUI has flights from £79 when flying from London Gatwick,
If you want cheaper flights, you can head to Seville as Ryanair has fares from £19.99.
You can then head to Cadiz for a day trip which is around 1hr24 by train.
