25 Marvel Actors Who Had To Get Ripped For Their Roles

Being a Marvel superhero is no easy job. Neither is being a bad guy, apparently. While getting to be in the biggest movies in the entire world surrounded by a cast of the hottest celebrities might sound like a cushy job, these actors work themselves to the bone in order to get into the best possible shape for their roles. They train like it’s their full time job, eat like they will never eat again, and push their bodies to the max to get to the shape you see on screen. Working out like these guys do is no easy feat, though with the help of their trainers and nutritionists, they make it look effortless. Like 49 year old Josh Brolin, who totally transformed his body for Thanos and Cable! Or Karen Gillan, the young actress who went deep into stunt and fight training for her role as Nebula! It might surprise you that Paul Rudd got totally ripped for Ant-Man, but the proof is right there on screen! Michael B Jordan got absolutely huge to play Killmonger, but Chadwick Boseman, Lupita Nyong’o and Danai Gurira all hold their own right there with him. Chris Hemsworth’s Thor arms have officially gone down in history, while actors like Elizabeth Olsen focus more on building leaner muscle through ballet. Chris Pratt went from Andy Dwyer to Star Lord and blew all of our minds, and don’t forget that Hugh Jackman got jacked… man… for The Wolverine! And that isn’t even scratching the surface!
