**Los Angeles, CA -** The identity of the stunt performer who brought the fierce Ladypool to life in the blockbuster film “Deadpool & Wolverine” has been revealed! It was none other than Christiaan Bettridge, a seasoned stuntwoman with credits on films like “Wonder Woman” and “The Marvels.”
Bettridge shared her excitement about portraying the character on her Instagram, expressing how special it was to don the Ladypool suit. She recounted how her admiration for the “Deadpool” franchise back in 2016 led her to dream of one day being the stunt double for a female Deadpool, a dream that ultimately came true.
“It’s not lost on me how special it was to don this suit,” Bettridge wrote in her post. “Fun fact: when the first Deadpool came out in 2016, before my stunt career had properly started, I was so obsessed with it and thought to myself, if there is ever a Ladypool I want to be her stunt double!”
Bettridge acknowledged the challenges she faced on set, including frigid temperatures and a broken foot, but ultimately described the experience as an “adventure.”
“Deadpool & Wolverine,” directed by Shawn Levy, has been a massive success, with critics and fans alike praising the film’s humor, action, and performances by Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman. With the introduction of Ladypool, the film has ignited speculation that the character, along with the Deadpool Corps, may make appearances in future Marvel Cinematic Universe projects like “Avengers: Doomsday” or “Avengers: Secret Wars.”
If those rumors come to fruition, it’s a safe bet that Christiaan Bettridge will be back, ready to once again bring the ferocious Wanda Wilson to life.
