Movie fans are always trying to bring the adventure home. But one TikTok user has really brought Marvel, DC, and Star Wars heroes home in the coolest way possible. Via Geeks Are SexyOpens in a new tab, we’ve discovered the work of artist Rudy WillinghamOpens in a new tab. He printed images of several characters on pieces of paper, and then used the cutouts to make mini-movies using his own surroundings.

Using the door handle, Willingham has Shang-ChiOpens in a new tab kick some bad guy butt. All while his BFF Katie watches the action in awe. He then uses a coat rack on the back of a door to create the horns for Loki’s helmetOpens in a new tab. And then to make the body of the Hulk at the same time. But our favorite part is when Willingham uses the Arm & Hammer logo on a package to create Thor holding his hammer MjölnirOpens in a new tab. How has no one ever thought to do that one before?
Speaking of MCU heroes, Willingham has also recreated part of the bus fight scene from Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten RingsOpens in a new tab in painstaking detail. Again, just using cutouts. We don’t even want to know how long it took to make this one. But the effort speaks for itself.
But Rudy Willingham didn’t limit his cutout adventures to the MCU. He also had some DCEU action going with the Suicide Squad. In this video, he uses appliances from outside his home, like a public bathroom dryer nozzle that serves as Peacemaker’s helmetOpens in a new tab. The steam coming out of a sewer grating on the street becomes the smoke coming out of Bloodsport’s fired gun. And Harley and King SharkOpens in a new tab come to life in hilarious ways as well.
And before he went to the Marvel and DC universes, Rudy Willingham did an amazing Star Wars tribute using the same paper cutout formula. Who would have ever thought that a Roomba would make for such a perfect Millennium Falcon?Opens in a new tab Or that the Tesla logo so perfectly mimics a Mandalorian helmetOpens in a new tab?
