A James Bond 26 trailer featuring Henry Cavill and Margot Robbie has gone viral across social media, leading people to believe that the two actors have been cast for the upcoming project.
However, the trailer is fake as it uses AI-generated footage. It proposes Henry Cavill’s James Bond as Daniel Craig’s successor and suggests Margot Robbie as the new Bond girl. Sadly, for fans of the actors, it’s all fake.
Henry Cavill’s James Bond & Margot Robbie appear in AI ‘Bond 26’ trailer
The so-called “Bond 26” trailer published by the KH Studio YouTube channel on April 13, 2024, has amassed 3.4 million views at the time of writing. It appears to have used old footage of Henry Cavill and Margot Robbie from The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Focus, and other films featuring them.
Watch the Bond 26 trailer below:
The Bond 26 trailer also appears to use scenes from past 007 movies and showcases Henry Cavill’s James Bond using A.I. The description of the trailer states that filming will begin in 2024. However, the trailer isn’t official or real.
KH Studio is known for posting fake fan-made concept trailers, and the Bond 26 trailer with Cavill and Robbie is another example. The two actors haven’t been cast for the hotly anticipated Bond 26 outing.
Notably, Henry Cavill claims that he was the second choice to play 007. It was between him and Daniel Craig, Cavill revealed on the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast with Josh Horowitz, admitting that he “was probably not ready at the time.”
Since then, the former Superman actor has played several spies in projects, including The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Argylle, and The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. However, there’s reportedly no word yet on Cavill or someone else being cast as the infamous MI6 spy.
While the Bond producers, Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, continue to look at potential actors for the gig, Henry Cavill is involved with upcoming projects, including a Warhammer 40,000 series and a Highlander remake. Meanwhile, Margot Robbie is busy working on A Big Bold Beautiful Journey.
