However, netizens are not that impressed with the poster as they believe Brad and Leonardo didn't pose together for the poster. They even slammed the poster for being 'too photoshopped' and actors images look retouched.

Agreed it’s lame. The distance between the two actors doesn’t play well with the frame. I guess they will come up with something better when the movie comes out.

So many questions like who’s body are their faces on why do they have different light sources what are they leaning on are they leaning on some unseen vertical item or the actual frame of the photo or are they magic
