Plenty of Villains to Go Around
As one of the newer stars on this list, Isabella Pappas is probably still getting used to the idea of having a stunt double. She’s the lead of “The Villains of Valley View,” and she’s pictured here goofing off with her stand-in, Taylor Krasne. We’ve literally never heard of either the show or Isabella Pappas, so we have no idea which is which.
It’s a comedy television series on the Disney channel, and it follows a family that are all superpowered villains – they have to go on the run when one of them, Pappas’s character, stands up to the head of the league of villains.
Speaking With Actions
Jason Momoa, now known as Aquaman to DC comic fans, had to have two stunt doubles on the set of the movie. The Hawaiian actor actually does many of his own stunts, but wisely chose to leave the more extravagant action sequences to his professional doppelgangers. 'I needed help. I'm almost 40 and it's starting to hurt, so there's just so many stunts,' Momoa told the Daily Mail.
Momoa has also expressed how important he thinks his stunts are in a film, as he's never had lengthy speaking roles in the past, 'I don't normally say a lot of things, so I have to speak with my actions.' and that he does, if you've seen his action films.
Two Helas is Better Than One
Despite wearing motion-capture suits, a bunch of ping-pong balls, and with their faces covered in weird dots (which we assume is also a CGI thing) these two evildoers still look ready to tear up Asgard. They are Cate Blanchett, and she's on the...right? We think?
Anyway, the other one is her stunt double for “Thor: Ragnarok,” Zoe Bell. The two seem to have become close, and just imagine if Thor had to fight against the combined might of both of them instead of just one. That would mess up the story a lot, though.
Wonderful Women Together Forever
Gal Gadot has made a big name for herself thanks to her time as Wonder Woman in the updated DC Comics movies, but she has plenty of people to thank for helping her join the ranks of famous superheroines. One of them is her stunt double, a woman by the name of Christiaan Bettridge.
Gadot has plenty to say about the woman that helped her get through a couple of intense movies without getting injured, and is incredibly grateful, as we can see from this image. Gadot doesn't even mind that Bettridge has a bunch of black dots all over her face.
Bonus Bana on the Set of Star Trek
Where once Star Trek episodes had philosophical discussions about the meaning of life, the pressures of rule, and tense diplomatic debates, it has now swung more toward action and adventure. Eric Bana plays Nero, a member of the Romulans who turns mad and alters the universe so much that we have an entirely new set of events to play with.
Nero spends most of his time aboard his huge, daunting ship, but he still gets plenty of action, which means he needs a stunt double like Paul Lacovara, who does a pretty good job of looking just like the actor.
