How do high-impact action stunts in Marvel movies resemble (or compare in any way) to the delicate and graceful movements in a ballet?

You wouldn’t think they would have anything in common, but Call The Midwife actress Jenny Agutter believes otherwise.

“I loved working with the stunt team on Captain America,” the 62-year-old actress said at the premiere of Tin – a true story based on a small mining community in 19th-century Cornwall. “And I have not been a big action hero person.

“But now I just watch it like a ballet.”

Jenny’s other on-screen roles have been more gentle than action-packed Captain America, but she believes that her ballet training helped her a great deal in preparing for her role as Councilwoman Hawley.

“My training was ballet and it [the stunts] was exactly like doing ballet moves, you know – counting the whole thing out. Everything had to be totally to the beat. So if you know you are going to miss a punch that is going to go very badly wrong.

“It has to be perfectly put together.”

Take note, Chris Evans.
