Where You’ve Seen Hugh Jackman’s Stunt Double From Deadpool & Wolverine Before

To say that the latest installment in the “Deadpool” franchise is doing well in theaters is an understatement: “Deadpool & Wolverine” has been blowing everyone away at the box office, breezing past the $1 billion benchmark after only a few weeks. While some may attribute this success to the hard work of director Shawn Levy, the star power of Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, or even the plethora of fun cameos in “Deadpool & Wolverine,” special attention must be paid to the film’s array of dazzling — and often disgusting — fight scenes.

He was an Imperial Guard in Revenge of the Sith

One of Daniel Stevens’ earliest roles as a stunt performer came in 2002, when he worked on the highly anticipated film “Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones.” In addition to performing stunts as needed, Stevens served as the double for Hayden Christensen, who famously starred as Anakin Skywalker. The stunt performer returned for “Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith” in 2005, though it is unclear whether or not he continued doubling for Christensen in that film. We do know that, at the very least, Stevens’ stunt duties included playing one of Emperor Palpatine’s (Ian McDiarmid) iconic Imperial Royal Guards

Stevens has doubled as Wolverine many times

Of all the characters he has played in his career, Daniel Stevens has doubled for none as much as Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine. His first shot at the character came in 2009’s “X-Men Origins: Wolverine,” which — despite being trashed by critics and audiences alike — featured some incredible stunt work. While Stevens took on Jackman’s role, Sam Hargrave stepped in for Liev Schreiber’s Victor Creed/Sabretooth (if Hargrave’s name sounds familiar, that’s probably because he went on to direct the popular “Extraction” films starring Chris Hemsworth for Netflix).
