And obviously Glen Powell too.
In an interview, Glen Powell has revealed thisLike Cruz, He tends to dispense with doubles in action scenes. “Letting viewers know you’re in danger is an investment,” Glen Powell explained. “I think you have to give the audience what they paid for.

Don’t do any sprints at that time. Your body will break into pieces and you will be injured. Also keep in mind that they often wet the set at night (known in English as ‘Wetdown’, a filming technique intended to beautify night scenes and also eliminate possible continuity errors).'”
