While speaking to the Vulture back in March, a stunt coordinator named Greg Rementer mentioned that Pitt had done "95%" of all of his physical stunts in the film. The stunt master was all praises for Pitt and said, 

He's like a natural-born athlete. He really got in there! Never have I ever done so many huge actors in one feature where all of them excelled at the physical movement of our training. So Brad, Brian, Michael Shannon, Hiroyuki Sonada, Andrew Koji—who was already a stud in terms of where he comes from with the show Warrior—all these actors put out some great action and did a lot of their [own] stuff.
