We chat with 'Captain Marvel' stuntwoman Ingrid Kleinig

SINGAPORE — With superhero movies becoming ever more popular and breaking box office records, one thing audiences don’t really realise is that behind every action star is a stunt double who works hard to make things look good on camera.

It was only then that I realised that I could combine my love of performing with my love of physicality and the outdoors and physical storytelling. I could put the two together and earn a living. That was 19 years ago and I haven’t looked back since.I first started out in Australia as a stunt performer. In Australia you actually need to be graded, there’s a national ratification system where you have to achieve certain qualifications and certain levels of skills across a broad range of areas.

Those are some really huge films. What’s your experience been like in these giant ensemble pieces with complicated fight choreography and so many people involved? One of the more complex ones that we did for Suicide Squad was where Harley Quinn was lying down on a motorcycle. I think what was difficult was getting the VFX rig for the bike to lie down and the quick release to make it happen at the right cue. But Margot actually did some takes of that herself. She was on a rig and a truck was tied to the bike at the same time driving along her, so she couldn’t actually go under the bike or get dragged along the ground.
