50 Wild Photos Of Celebs With Their Stunt Doubles
Here's Samuel L. Jackson's stunt double from Secret Invasion. It must be so weird looking at your double, like Taylor Lautner is doing with his double from Tracers below. Below, you can see The Rock and his stunt double, Tanoai Reed (his cousin!), for Pain And Gain. Scarlett Johansson actually had a male stunt double for Fly Me to the Moon! Here they are together. You can see a better photo here. Considering Brad Pitt played a stunt double in Once Upon a Hollywood, it's kind of funny to see his double for the film. Here's Margot Robbie's stunt double from Barbie! This may be Emma Eastwood, who did double for Margot, but I think it's more likely a separate stunt double. Here's Ryan Gosling's stand-in for Barbie, Adam Hart, vs. Gosling himself. Speaking of Ryan, here he is with his stunt driver from The Fall Guy, Logan Holladay. Here's Nicole Kidman and her body double from The Undoing, who seems to be Aline Mayne. You can see Melissa McCarthy's stunt double from Thunder Force, Luci Romberg, below. Here are the stunt doubles for Harry, Umbridge, and Hermione from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix versus the actors. Here's a comparison where you can see Ron, too. That's not Johnny Depp in The Tourist in that first photo — that's his double. That's Depp on the right there. This isn't Tobey Maguire in Spider-Man either on the left, no matter how much he may look like him! And here's his double from Spider-Man 3. Here, you can see Andrew Garfield in his Spidey suit next to two of his stuntmen while filming The Amazing Spider-Man 2. = You can spot Garfield with another Spidey double here. This isn't Robert Pattinson on the left filming The Batman – it's his double. Pattinson is on the right. It's close, but those two guys on the left aren't Harrison Ford and Shia LaBeouf from Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. They're the doubles. You can see another comparison of them here. Check out Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss in The Hunger Games next to her stunt double. You can see Lawrence's stunt double, Renae Moneymaker, closer-up here. In a recent example, here's Danielle Brooks and her Minecraft stunt double! Here's Jessica Chastain's double for The 355. Both of the men below played John Wick in the third film — but the one on the left is a stunt double. You can see another shot of Reeves and his Wick double here, though I'm not sure it's the same one. Speaking of Keanu, here's his double from The Matrix Resurrections, with Keanu on the right. Here's Jason Momoa from Fast his stunt double on the left. Here is Chris Evans's stuntman from Captain America: Civil War next to the superhero himself. The guy on the left is definitely not Brad Pitt — but he did stand in for him in Burn After Reading. Here's another Brad Pitt double, this time from Wolves, alongside Pitt in the film. Check out Javier Bardem and his stunt double for Lyle Lyle Crocodile. Here's Daniel Craig's stunt double in Spectre. What, you didn't think he was filming all those intense stunts, did you? You can see a much better example of Craig's double in these photos from the set of No Time To Die. Here's Hugo Weaving and his double from Cloud Atlas. Here's Jordan Bridges' stunt double from WeCrashed. It's actually freaky how much they look alike. In contrast, Ben Stiller's stunt double from Happy Gilmore 2, Greg Fitzpatrick, doesn't look much like him. Joaquin Phoenix's Two Lovers double, Bob Colletti, also looks nothing like him. Here's Michelle Pfeiffer's body double from Stardust — and Pfeiffer in the film. One more Nicole Kidman body double! Check out her body double from Australia. Kidman wasn't shooting anything on horseback as she'd recently given birth. Here's another Nicole Kidman stunt double, this time from The Interpreter, though I think she looks more like Naomi Watts meets Hilary Swank. Nicole's on the right. One more Brad Pitt double, though I think he'd be better for Sebastian one's from The Counselor. You can see a photo of them together here. Here, you can see Amy Schumer and her doubles for Kinda Pregnant. Even if you haven't seen the show, you probably know Rami Malek stars in Mr. Robot. Here he is with his stunt double. Here's Abbie Cornish and her stunt double from The Dark Fields. Here's Michael Shamus Wiles' stunt double Ian Eyre from Justified. Here's Jim Caviezel's Person of Interest stunt double. Here's Zeeko Zaki's FBI stunt double, David Pope. Zaki's on the right. Throwing it back for a Ethel Merman can be seen with two of her stunt doubles for It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World: Helen Thurston and Donna Rumsey. This is Dick Ziker and his stunt double, Robert Urich from VEGA$. Here, you can see Wolf Larson and Lydie Denier's stunt doubles (Sonny Surowiec and Melissa Stubbs) from the old Tarzan TV show. Jimmy Hunt's stunt double from The Mating of Millie wasn't a kid at all — it was Billy Curtis (left), who had a long Hollywood career as an actor himself. And finally, this isn't from a movie or TV show, but it's still pretty funny to see – here's Lil Jon and two of his body doubles for his "What U Gon' Do" music video.

Why Kevin Feige Greenlit So Many Mediocre Marvel Disney+ Shows, and What It Says About the MCU's Struggles — GeekTyrant
At one point, the Marvel Cinematic Universe felt like an unstoppable machine. From Iron Man to Avengers: Endgame , the studio delivered hit after hit with a tone and structure that felt fresh, exciting, and unified. But after Endgame, that all changed. Suddenly, Marvel was everywhere. New shows were popping up on Disney+ what felt like every other month. Some of them, like WandaVision and Loki , landed well with audiences. Others, like Secret Invasion and She-Hulk: Attorney at Law , didn't. Even solid efforts like Ms. Marvel got buried under the weight of Marvel fatigue. So… what happened? Why did Marvel — and more specifically, Kevin Feige, sign off on so many shows that either didn't land or felt unnecessary? According to a recent Wall Street Journal report, it all boils down to three words from Disney CEO Bob Iger: 'Expansion, expansion, expansion.' That directive, driven by Disney's aggressive push into streaming with Disney+, became the mission statement post- Endgame . Feige, who has been the driving force behind the MCU for more than 15 years, didn't exactly fight it. Instead, he went along with the strategy, reportedly wanting to be a 'good corporate citizen.' But that corporate loyalty came at a cost. The result was a sprawling content landscape that overwhelmed audiences and overcomplicated the storytelling. Shows like Secret Invasion were critically panned. She-Hulk had its fans, but the general reaction was mixed, and many felt it was rushed or uneven. Even when the quality was there, like with Ms. Marvel , viewership suffered. As the report notes, there was just 'too much Marvel content' by the time that series dropped, and many fans had already checked out. This led to a bigger problem… fragmentation. Characters introduced in Disney+ shows later showed up in films like The Marvels , but most viewers hadn't seen their backstories. So now, the movies had to stop and fill in gaps, killing pacing and driving up confusion. The Marvels flopped hard at the box office, and one big reason was that a good chunk of the audience had no idea who Iman Vellani's Kamala Khan was or why they should care. Of course, it's easy to point to corporate mandates and say, 'That's why the quality dipped.' But there's something more going on. The real issue might be Marvel's storytelling itself. The formula that worked so well during the Infinity Saga with its quippy dialogue, familiar structure, a mix of humor and heart has started to feel stale. Every movie and show sounds the same. Every character delivers jokes the same way. There's a sameness to the tone that's grown tiresome, regardless of how big or small the story is. Thankfully, it seems Marvel is finally taking a step back. The studio is scaling down its release schedule. There are still a few films set for 2025, including the recently released Thunderbolts* , which, by the way, turned out great. It took some creative risks, embraced strong character work, and felt different from the typical MCU formula. That's a big part of why it worked. If Marvel wants to win back its audience, it's not just about doing less, it's about doing better. The reset is coming. Let's hope the evolution follows.
