Disney&#8217;s subsidiary <strong>Marvel Studios<\/strong> received intense criticism in 2023 for the <strong>AI-generated opening credits<\/strong> of the series <strong>Secret Invasion<\/strong>. Allegations of <strong>AI traces<\/strong> in the posters for the <strong>Fantastic Four: First Steps<\/strong> movie earlier this year led to a similar reaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Disney in the Shadow of Public Relations Crises<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Disney has recently been experiencing a loss of public trust due to some political debates and controversial decisions.

Will this innovation be enough to regain the trust the platform has lost?
