Marvel‘s Secret Invasion was made using artificial intelligence, the Disney+ show’s director and executive producer Ali Selim has confirmed.Speaking to Polygon, Selim explained how special effects company Method Studios created the sequence — which features shapeshifting faces and abstract imagery — with the help of AI.“When we reached out to the AI vendors, that was part of it — it just came right out of the shapeshifting, Skrull world identity, you know?
