The collective excitement for Avengers: Doomsday is\u00a0through the roof. Fans desperately want\u00a0to know as much as possible about the movie.\u00a0And for\u00a0good reason. The film marks Robert Downey Jr.’s MCU return, and, perhaps most importantly, it features the rebirth\u00a0of Fox’s classic X-Men. This time, though, they won’t be wearing black leather.\u00a0The X-Men are expected<\/a> to suit up in their classic comic book costumes\u00a0for the film. Unfortunately, we have not gotten an actual image of the actors suited up… or have we?\u00a0An image that recently popped up online may have had you think otherwise.<\/p>\n

The palpable\u00a0excitement around Doomsday has prompted some to spread what have\u00a0so far appeared to be AI-generated images<\/a> of\u00a0the movie’s cast. These have ranged from Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom, to Tobey Maguire’s\u00a0Spider-Man. Though it’s been difficult to tell apart the fake from the authentic, most images shared have been commonly understood to be AI-made. Following that trend, an X-Men-centric\u00a0image (which will not be linked here, but has been widespread) surfaced on social media, and, my dear readers, for the life of me, I was not able to\u00a0tell if it was\u00a0AI-generated or not.<\/p>\n

The picture appears\u00a0to feature Doomsday’s\u00a0X-Men\u2014James Marsden’s Cyclops, Ian McKellen’s Magneto, Rebecca Romijn’s Mystique, Channing Tatum’s Gambit, Alan Cumming’s Nightcrawler,\u00a0Teyonah Parris’ Monica Rambaeu and Patrick Stewart’s Charles Xavier, all together, in\u00a0their comic book suits. The photo\u00a0sparked intense debates online. Some claimed\u00a0the image was\u00a0AI-generated, while others argued\u00a0it had\u00a0too many “realistic” details to have been made by\u00a0artificial intelligence. It was… a complex matter.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, if you, too, were lost in the sea of uncertainty regarding the legitimacy of the\u00a0picture, there does seem to be\u00a0an answer on the matter. Cosmic Circus’ Alex Perez took to X to debunk the image<\/a>.\u00a0Unfortunately, the amount of fake AI pictures\u00a0purported to be from Avengers: Doomsday continues to grow. Upon the image hitting the internet, for example, a new\u00a0one\u00a0showed up, apparently showing the X-Men sitting in a room. There was only a slight problem with it: Beast’s head was on\u00a0Nightcrawler’s body.<\/p>\n

Then, a\u00a0\u00a0“selfie” of Teyonah Parris, James Marsden and Channing Tatum\u2014all in costume\u2014also surfaced. However, the image showed\u00a0the actress holding a phone which, despite meant to be an iPhone 17 Pro, does not match the real-life design of the devic, signaling its AI origins.\u00a0<\/p>\n

So, what’s the conclusion here? That the X-Men in the image look\u00a0remarkably comic accurate, but they don’t appear to be\u00a0real. The quality of it, though, is a testament to how advanced artificial intelligence\u00a0has gotten in a short span\u00a0of time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Avengers: Doomsday arrives in theaters\u00a0on December 18, 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What do you think about these latest pictures? Are they real, or is artificial intelligence just getting impressively good at fooling us?
