Scarlett Johansson, Margot Robbie and more fight in lockdown battle royale
Marvel and DC collide in the cross-movie universes YouTube challenge.
- Best New Journalist 2019 Australian IT Journalism Awards
Scarlett Johansson is Black Widow in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The levels of talent in Zoe Bell's YouTube challenge are almost hard to believe. In an effort to fend off coronavirus lockdown boredom, the stuntwoman pieced together home videos of over 40 actors and stuntwomen, including Black Widow's Scarlett Johansson and Florence Pugh, and Margot Robbie aka Harley Quinn, who all take part in the virtual fight by throwing punches, kicks and headbutts (among other flying objects).
"So bored!" Bell says at the beginning of the video, posted on her YouTube channel. "I just want to play with my friends."
Using video magic, Bell jump-kicks the screen and we cut to Lucy Lawless, aka Xena, the warrior princess. The ensuing clips transition from each new fighter -- namely Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, Halle Berry and more -- via a kick or punch or, in Robbie's case, baseball bat to the screen.
Bell, a New Zealand stuntwoman and actress, worked with Lawless on Xena: Warrior Princess as her stunt double. Her impressive career covers some of the biggest titles on the silver screen, from Marvel movies to Quentin Tarantino movies. No wonder she has so many unbelievable connections.
