The actor wasn’t the only one blown away. Netflix also retweeted the video on Twitter saying it was “most epic”. The Russo Brothers, the producers of the film, promised to invite the young filmmakers to the film’s premiere — something the young filmmakers said would be a dream come true.

This would be a dream come through and this is the Day we’ve been waiting for all our lives😭 https://t.co/tSXyJXl14q

The boys—brothers Muiz Sanni, 15, Malik Sanni, 10, and their 13-year-old cousin Fawas Aina—are no strangers to recreating scenes from famous music videos and Hollywood films. Muiz and Malik’s elder brother, 23-year-old Babatunde Sanni, edits and shoots the videos.

On social media, many said the young filmmakers deserved greater rewards and recognition.

LOVE THIS

Hey Netflix! If I may recommend that you give these young boys scholarships and then a production deal? Everyone wins because they are something special😀

However, this is not the first trailer remake that received attention from international stars. Their recreation of Netflix series Money Heist too caught the attention of the actors of the hit show.

The family from Nigeria has over 650,000 followers on Instagram and speaking to BBC Africa, they said that their filmmaking began when their parents asked them to go outside and play.

“We intend to make people understand that there’s no limit to creativity,” said Sanni, who edits and shoots the videos.

“The fact that you don’t have a car — you can use something that looks like a car. Just for you to move you from one place to another, so that’s why we are using a wheelbarrow,” he told CNN in an interview.

“We know everyone in the whole world is actually watching us and we are showing people potential and what we can do. That’s the dream,” he had said.
