I wonder how often people on set get them confused...

In the film world, it truly takes a village to bring a character to life. There's a whole team behind the camera, but sometimes, the actor isn't the only person portraying the character on screen.

Doubles replace the actor in certain shots. For example, the actor might have scheduling conflicts during reshoots, or they might need a body double to stand in when they're playing two different characters in the same scene. Doubles can also replace actors for scenes that require a special set of skills — such as a stunt double or a dance double.

Here are 15 Marvel actors and their doubles:

1. Chris Evans plays Steve Rogers / Captain America.

For the pre–super soldier serum scenes in Captain America: The First Avenger, Leander Deeny was his body double.

2. Here's Chris again in Avengers: Endgame.

For the scene where Captain America fights another version of himself, he had two stunt doubles — stunt coordinator Sam Hargrave and his brother, Daniel Hargrave.
