A fake Bond movie trailer featuring Henry Cavill in the lead role has garnered over 2.4 million views on YouTube, giving the British actor’s fans a taste of what it could be like to see him play the super sleuth working for His Majesty’s Secret Service.
Dubbed as Bond 26, the one-minute-26-second trailer showcases Cavill in the titular role, utilising a combination of borrowed footage from other films and AI technology. The trailer goes a step further by casting Margot Robbie as a Bond girl.
The creator, KHStudio, has made it clear that the video is a conceptual piece crafted for entertainment purposes. “I have meticulously incorporated various effects, sound design, AI technologies, movie analytics, and other elements to bring my vision to life. Its purpose is purely artistic, aiming to entertain and engage with the YouTube community,” the creator wrote in the video description.
“My goal is to showcase my creativity and storytelling skills through this trailer. Thank you for your support, and let’s dive into the world of imagination,” KHStudio signed off.
For some time now, fans of Cavill have expressed their desire to see him take on the mantle of the iconic super-spy following Daniel Craig's exit from the Bond franchise. Cavill's past roles in espionage-themed films like Mission: Impossible - Fallout, The Man from U.N.C.L.E. and now The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare have only fueled speculation about his suitability for the Bond role.
