How Many Fingers Does Sentry Actually Have? Potential ‘Thunderbolts*’ Poster Error Implies Marvel Used AI to Create It
The MCU’s future appears bright again after a string of underwhelming films, generally, thanks to Deadpool and Wolverine enjoying a good run in theaters and the thrilling announcement that Robert Downey Jr. will return as Victor Von Doom as the MCU’s next major antagonist.
The MCU will release a number of additional projects in the meantime, that is, prior to the release of the next two major Avengers films that will feature Downey’s Doctor Doom as the main antagonist.
Most of them are very much anticipated, albeit some will cause more excitement than others for sure. One of the highly-anticipated projects is the upcoming Thunderbolts* film, which is scheduled for release on May 2, 2025.
A trailer and a new poster have recently been released, and the fans are still analyzing and figuring out what exactly has been revealed there, with new theories and information appearing on a daily basis. In light of that, we and the fans have noticed a very interesting detail on the poster that we’d like to discuss with you.
The detail you need to observe is a very minor one, but it is noticeable if you take a closer look, so here is the poster:
As you can see, the dubious detail has been marked on the poster; you can find a reduced version of the poster on Marvel’s official site, where the left part was cut so that the fact we’re highlighting isn’t that obvious, but this version of the poster can also be found online, as you can see:
Be that as it may, it seems that Lewis Pullman’s Sentry (or Bob Reynolds) has six fingers. This wouldn’t be a shock in itself if the writers wanted the character to have six fingers, but if you look at the trailer, Sentry has five fingers on both of his hands, which sparked suspicion that this poster was created using AI.
Okay, sure, we do know that it wasn’t a direct shoot and that CGI was used, and probably some AI, but in most cases, these posters are made out of already-available photographs, which are then later edited into the poster before the release of the final product. But this case seems to be somewhat different.
Namely, this error implies that the photos in question were never made and that the Thunderbolts* poster was created using AI; this isn’t a major issue per se, it doesn’t change anything, but it goes to show that AI is being used more often than we think and that the system is still far from being perfect.
