If you needed another reason to love Mads Mikkelsen, here it is.
In a hilarious and unexpectedly insightful clip, Mikkelsen uses action figures to break down one of his intense stunt scenes from his upcoming horror film Dust Bunny, directed by Hannibal creator Bryan Fuller.

In Dust Bunny, Mikkelsen stars as Resident 5B, a mysterious hitman hired by a young girl named Aurora (Sophie Sloan) to take revenge on the “monster under her bed.” The film also features Sigourney Weaver and David Dastmalchian, rounding out a powerhouse cast.
Fuller and Mikkelsen’s reunion after Hannibal brings the same mix of tension, beauty, and dark humor, and this clip proves that even a grim horror film can have moments of pure creative fun.
Mikkelsen’s “action figure choreography” isn’t just funny, it’s a great reminder of how visualization, play, and physical storytelling can elevate performance, even in prep.
Actors, what’s the most unconventional method you’ve ever used to prepare for or block a scene?

I've used action figures to outline scenes, Ashley Renee Smith. Toy cars too.
