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.
