AI Looks Too Good In James Bond Trailer With Henry Cavill And Margot Robbie
Henry Cavill attends the "The Ministry Of Ungentlemanly Warfare" New York Premiere at AMC Lincoln Square Theater on April 15, 2024 in New York City. Margot Robbie attends the 35th Annual Producers Guild Awards at The Ray Dolby Ballroom on February 25, 2024 in Hollywood, California.
When it comes to AI (Artificial Intelligence), when does it become too much? In a new fake James Bond trailer starring AI versions of Henry Cavill and Margot Robbie, the viral video looks so realistic you wouldn’t have known it was AI.
AI Looks Too Good
Thanks to AI, it’s very easy to fake things these days on the internet. From new songs from popular artists to wild collaborations, AI has created music over and over again that fans love — even if it isn’t from the original artist. This is a very dangerous game for the future of musicians and, now, movies.
The entertainment industry is one of the many industries directly affected by the use of AI, which is threatening to take away jobs from real people. A popular YouTube page, KH Studio, is known for pumping out unofficial concept trailers for “upcoming movies” by using AI technology.
In a recently uploaded trailer from earlier this month, they created a new 007 film starring Robbie and Cavill, which is titled Bond 26. With over 3.5 million views, the video briefly shows KH Studios’ logo in the bottom corner, which lets us know it is not official. The description even says Christopher Nolan would be the director behind the fake film.

For those who don’t catch that watermark, we see Cavill walking as Robbie’s voiceover says: “We are not like the others. We could have much more than anyone else. The problem is that the world is too small… for both of us.” In a zoom-in shot of Cavill, the eeriness of AI shows his eyes looking a little wonky, and hit skin looks too perfect, but for those without 20/20 vision, it is possible to overlook these small details. However, when Robbie says, “Hello, James Bond,” the synching of her lips is so off that it looks animatronic. The rest of the clips appear to mix in footage from previous Bond films and other films Cavill and Robbie have starred.
The trailer is generating so much attention that film sites have released articles debunking its authenticity. Despite the trailer being fake, it seems as though fans very badly want Cavill to be the next Bond star. However, as we previously reported, Aaron-Taylor Johnson was reportedly named Daniel Craig’s James Bond successor. Tom Holland and Dwayne Johnson also made it known that they want a shot at being Bond as well.
But the comments section under the YouTube video was full of fans wanting Cavill as 007. One fan said, “Can someone please start a petition to make Henry the next James Bond? I have nothing against Aaron Taylor but will all know Henry was the best fit for this.” Apparently, Cavill himself watched the AI trailer, discussing it in a recent interview. One fan pointed it out: “I’m here after Henry Cavill interview [heart eyes emoji]; he said he watched this video.”
One hilariously feral fan wrote, “Henry Cavill bloody well owns the role! He is perfect! Powerful sexy and ultra classy. Shaken not stirred needs that man!!!!! Bond on steroids!” Another commented, “Henry has the swag and debonair for 007 period!” Commented another, “Henry is Bond that we never got, but we definitely needed.”
Cavill’s latest role is in the recently released WWII film by Guy Ritchie, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, starring as a commando.
Other trailers KH Studio has created include Rocky 7, Pirates of the Caribbean 6, The Mummy: Resurrection and Constantine 2 with Keanu Reeves, and an Edward Scissorhands remake with Timothee Chalamet and Zendaya as the stars. These trailers are great for fans who long for the “what ifs” when films are long done, tapping into that need for more. However, if these trailers pass as the real thing going forward, there will be lots of trouble and lawsuits coming.
The Most-Searched Celebrity Nudes
For some reason, famous people’s nudes are highly sought after in the age of OnlyFans. A study conducted by Swedish sex toy company LELO identified the most-wanted celebrity nudes that people are searching for online. The site used Google Keyword Planner to analyze the interest in different celebrity nude pictures and similar inquiries that were sexual in nature. In addition, the research provides information regarding which states are looking for particular celebrity images the most. Interestingly enough, the top ten most-searched celebrity nudes were all women. The company noted that in their findings, the most searched are actresses. The search count is per year, from February 2023 to February 2024.
Luka Matutinović, Lelo’s Chief Marketing Officer, said of the findings: “People always search for information regarding celebrities, mainly when they see them in films or hear about them in the media. For instance, someone like Jennifer Lawrence, who’s been in a lot of big films, might attract more interest because fans feel like they know her from her roles. This can lead people to search for more about her personal life, including private photos. It’s just human nature to be curious, especially about those constantly in the public eye.”
Some of the Most-Searched Celebrity Nudes
Kicking off the list of ten most-searched celebrity nudes is Game of Thrones‘ very own Khaleesi, Emilia Clarke. The English actress is searched 135,000 times on average, with the most interest and hits coming from Kansas. Another popular search inquiry about this actress is “Emilia Clarke Game of Thrones hot scenes.”
Another actress famous for her fantasy role is close behind, with Harry Potter alum Emma Watson taking ninth place on the list of most wanted celebrity nudes. Though she hasn’t acted since 2019’s Little Women and has no interest in acting anymore, her legacy lives on. Watson’s nudes are searched 201,000 times, with Alaska being the top hit.
Taking eighth place is an actress who gained popularity in the first two Transformers films: Megan Fox. The mother of two’s nudes are searched 247,000 times, with most inquiries being “Megan Fox OnlyFans leaked.” Though Fox does not have OnlyFans, one person is taking advantage of being told she looks just like her on the subscription site.
Scarlett Johansson holds the seventh spot on the list of most wanted celebrity nudes, garnering 250,000 online searches. As one of the highest-paid actresses in recent years, it is no surprise that the screen siren has so many searches. Most of the searches come from Rhode Island.
In sixth place, a celebrity who became famous for her sex tape is Kim Kardashian. The reality star and business tycoon’s nudes are searched 268,000 times. Another frequently searched inquiry is “Kim K for Playboy,” showing curiosity to see her in a revealing photoshoot. She posed for the magazine in 2007 and has actually expressed regret on the series finale reunion of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, advising her younger self, “I would say don’t be so trusting.”
