Zoe Bell is one of the best stunt actressess in the business. A new video shows Bell perfecting stunts as Hela on the set of Thor: Ragnarok, filling in for Cate Blanchette.
Some of her most notable stunt work includes doubling for Lucy Lawless in Xena: Warrior Princess and for Uma Thurman in Kill Bill.
Bell previously appeared in another comic book movie. She performed high-wall stunts for Sharon Stone in Catwoman.
