The internet is abuzz with speculation about the next James Bond after Daniel Craig's final outing in "No Time to Die." While the official casting process remains shrouded in secrecy, a fan-made trailer created with artificial intelligence (AI) has captured the imagination of many.
The viral trailer, titled "Bond 26," features Henry Cavill stepping into the iconic tuxedo and Aston Martin car. This isn't an official production by Eon Productions, the company behind the James Bond franchise, but rather a creative project by KH Studio using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to stitch together footage from Cavill's past movies alongside glimpses of other actors portraying Bond villains and Bond girls like Margot Robbie.
The trailer has racked up more than 3 millions of views, reigniting the "who will be the next Bond?" conversation among fans. Cavill, known for his roles as Superman and Geralt of Rivia in "The Witcher," has long been a popular fan choice for the role. Interestingly, Cavill's upcoming movie, "The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare," has connections to the Bond universe. The film follows the real-life exploits of a covert British unit, believed to be a source of inspiration for Ian Fleming's creation of 007.
