For you Marvel fans, I recommend James Young’s episode of the JAMcast podcast. For those that don’t know James, he coordinated the fights for Winter Soldier, Civil War, Infinity War and Endgame. He also doubled for Bucky and Iron Man. It’s a super fascinating listen to what goes on behind the scenes in Marvel films.
For example, he talks about how the stunt double for Chadwick Boseman had to wear seven layers of costume for Blank Panther. Since he was fighting in a hundred degree weather, he was shooting a scene, violently throwing up in a bucket, chugging a Powerade then moving onto the next scene. That’s dedication.
He also talks about how Chris Evans has a semi-photographic memory for choreography. He can watch a fight twice and then know exactly how it goes. It’s a proper interesting chat and the guy is super genuine. Well worth a listen. Search for JAMcast on Apple podcasts and you’ll find it.
