A talented teen could go from overnight TikTok sensation to a Marvel star in the very near future. As reported by People, the theater student's must-see video recently caught the attention of a few viewers with major pull around Hollywood, including one of the biggest names at Disney: Bob Iger.

In the 20-second clip, Julian Bass shows off his impressive costume collection and seamlessly morphs into some his favorite characters, including Spider-Man, a Star Wars Jedi, and Ben 10. After sharing the TikTok via Twitter, he pleaded, "If y'all can retweet this enough times that Disney calls, that'd be greatly appreciated." Ask the Twitter-verse, and you shall receive!

His casual retweet request has been met so far with 1.4 million likes, 578.9K retweets, and 9.6K responses. It wasn't long before Iger actually saw the viral video as well, and excitedly replied to Bass, "The world's gonna know your name!!!" The potential star-to-be responded, "This is the beginning!!!" adding, "Let's schedule a time to talk!!!"

On Twitter, Iger wasn't the only notable name to enthusiastically swing by the replies section. Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn responded with an emoji, to which Zach Braff saw and added, "Hire this man, Gunn!" Like the teen told Iger, "this is the beginning," and he's definitely off to a promising start. Congrats, Julian!
