In the film industry, it more or less takes a whole community to portray a character in the desired manner. There is a whole crew behind the screen, but the action star isn't always the only one playing the character on set.

In some scenes, doubles stand-in for the main actor or actress. For instance, the actor may have arrangement issues during shoots, or they may require the assistance of a body double when portraying two distinct characters in the same scene.

Furthermore, doubles can be used to swap actors in moments that need specialized skills, such as stunt or choreography doubles. Side-by-side pics of performers and their body doubles not only reveal that something is wrong with your eyes, but they also give credit to those who earn it but aren't always noticed by the fans or the media.

From remarkable physical resemblance to flawlessly mimicking personalities, doubles allow us to get the most out of our favorite marvel movies. Bobby Holland, Kelly Richardson, and the other doubles on the list go to lengths to ensure the Avengers look as cool as they are, including risking their own lives.
