Whether practicing fight scenes, action sequences being shot, or the incredible dedication it takes to pull off big stunts safely, it&#8217;s clear a number of Hollywood movies would never be possible without stunt people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We were reminded of that yet again when stunt actor C.C. Ice shared an amazing video on her Instagram. Ice, who got her first big tentpole work doing stunts for the Hunger Games movies, worked her way through Marvel movies and TV series to eventually be Elizabeth Olsen&#8217;s stunt double in <em>Avengers: Infinity War<\/em> and <em>Endgame<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ice shared a behind-the-scenes video from the set of <em>Infinity War<\/em> of one of Wanda Maximoff\/Scarlet Witch&#8217;s many epic fight scenes, namely, the fight between Wanda and Proxima Midnight. That fight takes place in Edinburg, Scotland, where Wanda and Vision have been hiding out and exploring their relationship. They&#8217;re eventually ambushed by two of Thanos&#8217;s generals, Proxima Midnight and Corvus Glaive and a fight ensues between them, along with Natasha Romanoff, Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson, who enter in the middle of the fray. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ice&#8217;s video shows the portion of the fight that finds Wanda and Proxima going toe-to-toe between some pillars and it would be fascinating enough on its own but some early CGI work was also added in, making it pop even more:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-instagram wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CCZa0pbAlQW\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"12\" style=\" background:#FFF;

Love you all!&#8221; <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>You might notice she tagged Sam Hargrave in her caption, who worked as both stunt coordinator and fight coordinator (though uncredited) on <em>Infinity War<\/em>. If that name sounds familiar, it&#8217;s because he&#8217;s the director of <em>Extraction<\/em>, the action movie starring Chris Hemsworth that blew up Netflix in April. That film was Hargraves&#8217; directorial debut, and it slayed. It <a href=\"https:\/\/atomtickets.com\/movie-news\/hollywood-women-changing-action-genre\/\">helps to have someone who has a real eye for action directing action movies<\/a> rather than having to rely solely on a second unit director or AD filming action sequences separately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hargrave has followed a line of stunt coordinators who have turned to directing in recent years, such as David Leitch and Chad Stahelski, who made their mark in stunts doing The Matrix franchise before moving on to co-direct <em>John Wick<\/em>. Since then, Stahelski has gone on to solo direct the second and third <em>John Wick<\/em> movies and Leitch has directed <em>Atomic Blonde<\/em> and <em>Deadpool 2<\/em>. Nash Edgerton and Ric Roman Waugh are two other more recent stuntmen-turned-directors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While we have yet to see a notable female stuntperson turn to directing, noted stuntwoman Zo\u00eb Bell has been stunt coordinator for a few high profile movies in recent years, including <em>Once Upon a Time in Hollywood<\/em> and the upcoming <em>Haymaker<\/em>. Bell also coordinated and directed the &#8220;Boss Bitch Fight Challenge&#8221; short after a bunch of Hollywood stuntmen put together a stunt video that was noticeably absent of women. And quite frankly, it slayed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"BOSS BITCH FIGHT CHALLENGE -  Zoe Bell\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dCO0DXAc0tk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If Bell ends up becoming the first notable stuntwoman to make the jump to directing a feature film, we won&#8217;t be mad at all. As for C.C. Ice, you can next see her doubling Scarlett Johansson in the upcoming <em>Black Widow<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Black Widow<\/em> is in theaters on November 6. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.atomtickets.com\/movies\/black-widow\/287637\">Add <em>Black Widow<\/em> to Your Watchlist to be alerted when tickets go on sale.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s hard to fathom the reason there&#8217;s not a stunt category for the Oscars yet, especially when we see behind-the-scenes videos of stunt people at work.
