James Bond trailer featuring Henry Cavill as the iconic spy alongside Margot ... trends now

Henry Cavill and Margot Robbie light up the screen as the iconic spy James Bond and a femme fatale Bond girl, respectively, in a new trailer.

However, the "'Bond 26' video, which has already amassed 2million views on YouTube since its release on Saturday, is indeed a fake. 

KH Studio, known for creating 'concept trailers', produced the thrilling one-minute teaser by using a mix of footage from other movies and artificial intelligence.

'Please note that this video is a concept trailer created solely for artistic and entertainment purposes,' KH Studio noted alongside the post. 'I have meticulously incorporated various effects, sound design, AI technologies, movie analytics, and other elements to bring my vision to life.'

Neither Cavill, 40, nor Robbie, 33, are confirmed to be involved in the next installment of the enduring James Bond series.

Series producer Barbara Broccoli is currently reshaping the franchise in the wake of Daniel Craig's exit, concluding his five-film stint as 007 with 2021's No Time to Die.

The 'Bond 26' clip begins with a montage of Cavill engaged in espionage-like activities from his previous films as Robbie's voiceover is heard saying: 'We are not like the others, we can have much more than anyone else.'

Robbie continues to narrate the voice over before she is shown in a digitally-altered scene, saying, 'Hello James Bond.'

The lip movements of the Barbie star don't synchronize with the audio, indicating further evidence that the teaser is indeed a forgery. 

Additionally, it's worth noting that Cavill speaks with an American accent in portraying the British character, adding to the discrepancies. 

For years, Cavill fans have wished to see the actor take on the iconic superspy role after Craig, who followed in the footsteps of Sean Connery, Roger Moore, Pierce Brosnan and Timothy Dalton.

As the Witcher star promoted his new WWII action film, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, set to open this weekend, he's repeatedly been asked about any updates regarding the possibility of him being cast as James Bond.

'I have no idea,' Cavill told "The Rich Eisen Show on Tuesday. 

'All I’ve got to go off is the rumors. The same information you have. Maybe I’m too old now, maybe I’m not. It’s up to [producers] Barbara Broccoli and Mike Wilson and we’ll see what their plans are.' 

In a recent poll, Luther star Idris Elba topped the list to take on Bond.

The poll, commissioned by Lottoland, saw the 51-year-old beating the likes of Cavill, Venom star Tom Hardy, and the Oscar-winning man with the golden gong, Cillian Murphy, to the prized role.

Some of the other top 20 A-listers fans suggested to be in the running included some left-wing stars, like House of the Dragons' Emilia Clarke, James Norton, Emily Blunt and Helen Mirren, The Sun revealed.

Bond is famed for turning those who play 007 into global superstars.

And the franchise isn't shy of casting left-field stars to take on the role. The late Sean Connery, one of the most recognisable Bonds, had only featured in a series of TV films when he accepted the role of the titular British spy in 1962's Dr. No, catapulting him to international fame.

But while Idris was the top choice, fans may end up disappointed after the actor ruled himself out of playing the role last year so he could focus on his deal with Netflix, where he is starring in Luther: The Fallen Sun.

Idris brought up the persistent discussions about him taking over as Ian Fleming's famed British spy in February 2023.
