Senator and pre-candidate Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) published an AI-generated video in which he plays a character from the 1986 film “Top Gun – Ases Indomáveis”. Images show the parliamentarian flying a military fighter plane to give player and influencer Neymar Jr a ride. O video is a response to a recent statement by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT). Last Friday (19),
Neymar was called up to join the Brazilian team for the 2026 World Cup, but has not yet played a game. This Wednesday (24), when Brazil faces Scotland in the third round of the group stage, the player can debut in the competition. He was working to recover from an injury. Flávio Bolsonaro’s “digital double” appears in the advertisement stating that the “Brazil never abandons its own”. He then sets out to rescue the player, also created by AI. The soundtrack is “Iron Man” by Black Sabbath.
This is the second material in which Flávio Bolsonaro borrows the aesthetics of “Top Gun” to create a pre-campaign.
In the first video, the pre-candidate appears alongside his father, Jair Bolsonaro, flying a military plane. The two then destroy vessels identified as PCC and CV. At the end, a speedboat with the acronym “PT” appears running away from the machine gun. This video is the subject of representation by the Brazilian Federation of Hope (PT, PV and PCdoB) in the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) for negative advance propaganda.
