They recently featured in Deadpool & Wolverine as Elektra, the character Jennifer first played in 2003 film Daredevil opposite her future ex-husband Ben Affleck.
When Jennifer reprised the role of Elektra for a brief cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine, Shauna was by her side, ready to perform the character’s toughest physical feats.
In a heartwarming Instagram video posted Friday night, Jennifer, 52, included a slew of images of the pair of them dressed in identical costumes for various roles.
The resemblance between them was uncanny, to the point that in some of the side-by-side shots, fans might even have difficulty telling them apart.

Jennifer Garner posted a string of throwbacks with her longtime stunt double Shauna Duggins, who has worked with her for 24 years – including as Elektra in Deadpool & Wolverine (pictured)
In a heartwarming caption, Jennifer wrote: ’24 years together and @shaunaduggins and I are a package deal. (P.S. how we have zero pictures together as Elektra before @deadpoolmovie is beyond me— but we were there!)’.
Her video included snaps of them standing next to each other in identical costumes as they filmed a stunning variety of projects over the years.
One of them was the 2023 Netflix comedy Family Switch, in which several members of the same family wound up swapping bodies.
Another was her 2021 Netflix comedy Yes Day, starring Jennifer and Edgar Ramirez as parents who decide to spend 24 hours acceding to all their children’s demands.
Some of the pictures were from much further back in the past – Jennifer included one snap of her and Shauna wearing matching pink argyle sweaters on Alias, the show she starred on from 2001 to 2006.
Another shot of them side-by-side appeared as if it might have been taken on the set of Jennifer’s 2007 romance Catch And Release co-starring Timothy Olyphant.
One picture showed them posing behind-the-scenes with their faces spattered in fake blood, possibly for the 2018 action thriller Peppermint.
While promoting Peppermint, Jennifer described Shauna as one of her ‘closest friends’ and raved about how ‘elevated’ her work is.

While they were working on Peppermint, Shauna trained Jennifer in screen combat so that she could perform some of her own stunts convincingly onscreen
‘My stunt double and I have worked together since I think the third or fourth episode of Alias… So she’s like my sister,’ Jennifer told Entertainment Tonight.
While they were working on Peppermint, Shauna trained Jennifer in screen combat so that she could perform some of her own stunts convincingly onscreen.
Some of that instruction appears to have been included in Jennifer’s Instagram post, which shows Shauna giving Jennifer fight training in a field.
Jennifer’s warmhearted Instagram post comes one day after she attended her ex-husband Ben Affleck’s lowkey 52nd birthday party in Los Angeles.
Ben and Jennifer have three children – Violet, 18, Fin, 15, and Samuel – and have retained a famously amicable co-parenting relationship after their divorce.

Reports are now swirling that Ben and his current wife Jennifer Lopez are on the brink of divorce, and have even prepared documents to file at a later date.
However JLo was also seen quietly arriving at Ben’s house that day, per E! News – despite the fact Ben snubbed her recent blowout birthday bash in the Hamptons.
It recently emerged that Jennifer has emerged as an ‘unexpected ally’ to JLo as the latter navigates her marital woes with Ben, via an Us Weekly source.
‘She’s been helpful to JLo, and they’ve been relating to each other. Jennifer has been a surprising person for JLo to talk to,’ the insider dished last month.
