The Walt Disney Company will launch its own commercial generative image product, similar to DALL·E or Stable Diffusion, that allows users to generate customized images using Disney-owned IP (e.g., Star Wars characters) such as "put yourself as a Star Wars character."

Explanation

The prediction requires that The Walt Disney Company itself launch a commercial, DALL·E/Stable‑Diffusion‑style image generator that lets users create customized images using Disney IP, e.g., “put yourself as a Star Wars character.”

What we actually see by November 30, 2025:

  • There is no record in major news, trade press, or Disney communications of Disney launching any public generative image product that allows consumers to generate images of themselves or others as Star Wars/Marvel/Disney characters. My searches instead surface only unaffiliated “Disney-style” or “Star Wars-style” avatar tools provided by third parties, not by Disney. (nanoeditor.app)
  • Disney’s public posture has gone in the opposite direction: the company has filed a landmark lawsuit against Midjourney precisely for enabling users to generate images of characters like Darth Vader, Elsa, and others without authorization, describing Midjourney as a copyright “free‑rider” and seeking to stop such uses. (cnbc.com) This makes it even less likely they have quietly launched their own open IP-generating tool for the public.
  • Disney does use generative/AI techniques internally (e.g., high‑resolution face‑swap tech for VFX, and alleged AI‑generated Oogie Boogie Bash marketing art), but these are production tools and assets, not a consumer-facing, DALL·E‑like image product. (en.wikipedia.org)
  • In late 2025, Bob Iger discussed future plans for Disney+ to let subscribers create AI‑generated videos and other short-form user content, via partnerships with generative‑AI providers. That feature is framed as upcoming video functionality on Disney+, not as a launched standalone text‑to‑image service, and the reporting does not specify an official “put yourself as a Star Wars character” image tool.

Given (1) the absence of any credible evidence of a Disney‑run, DALL·E‑like image generator using Disney IP for public self‑insert avatars, and (2) nearly two years having passed since the December 2023 prediction, it has not come true.
