Deadpool & Wolverine's Lady Deadpool Stunt Double Is A Familiar Face
By BJ COLANGELO
While Ryan Reynolds' wife, Blake Lively, played the role of Lady Deadpool in "Deadpool & Wolverine," she left the intense action to seasoned stunt performer Christiaan Bettridge.
"Stanni" Bettridge made her stunt performer debut on the SyFy TV series "Hunters" in 2016 and soon after appeared in the "H2O" spin-off "Mako Mermaids" for Netflix.
The following year, she was cast as Gal Gadot's stunt double for "Wonder Woman." Bettridge has since become Gadot's go-to double, appearing in "Justice League" and "Red Notice."
In an interview with Scholastic, Bettridge explains that she comes from a ballet background, and credits her dance training to helping her grasp fight choreography quickly.
Aside from doubling for Gadot, Bettridge has worked on Netflix's "Locked In," "The Marvels," and is set to start production as Uma Thurman's stunt double in "The Old Guard 2."
