When you see superheroes such as Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor kicking butt on the big screen, there’s a ton of work that went in behind the scenes by the actors to achieve their hero body. Some MCU actors like Chris Pratt and Paul Rudd were far from ripped and muscular when they were cast in their respective roles. However, they put in the work to attain the fit and athletic bodies they sport on screen. This is no easy feat, as getting your body into peak shape is an incredibly difficult task. Sometimes it take’s over a year of strict dieting and workout plans to achieve their goals. And then years more maintaining this shape for future movies in the MCU. Luckily for them, they are provided with top of the line trainers and dieticians that help them along their journey. This definitely helps, but it’s still on the actors to apply themselves to the regimes assigned. Which actors had difficulties maintaining their diets?
Sometimes the trainers used by these actors are actually good friends with them, as is the case with Chris Hemsworth, who has known his trainer since he was four years old.
All those muscles aren’t just for show, and these actors have done some seriously impressive things. One of the Marvel stars can now push a 5,000 pound jeep. Do you think it’s Captain America or Captain Marvel who showcased this feat of strength?
Which actor do you think had the most impressive transformation?

“I made health and fitness the focus of my day”. This is a good way to look at it, Paul Rudd! Thank you.

omg i was watching the vid while i was just going through the comments n i was lisning to the same thing i was reading haha
I think Tom Holland is by far the fittest of all the actors in the MCU. His background is dance, and he's able to do all sorts of flips and jumps without actually needing wires for the realistic stuff. Most the actors get bulked up and are strong, but not like him.
He is a gymnastic physiq
Simu liu is better
I love that I found that out. Most men in dance or gymnastics are labeled as lame or gay. My son is 15 and loves theatre and show choir, very thin, and everyone thinks he's gay. Don't get me wrong, I told him it he was I wouldn't care one bit. But we just hate the stereotypes and shallow observations. Idk if Tom Holland is straight or gay, but it would be nice to talk about with my son. Gymnasts and dancers are just as much talented as sports figures. I hate that they get looked down upon because they happen to be male.
It helps he's only 5'7 !
@@malindapeterson2398 hes actually dating zendaya i saw a pic of them kissing in a car and he kinda announced it when he said happy bday to my mj.
Honestly Chadwick is amazing! The fact he was doing all that training when he was sick is something else, like seriously that man fought so hard for what he wanted in life.
It's not easy to constantly transform your body... Well it's not easy to transform it once, but I think I have reached my goal. I started my own transformation about a year ago. I got a diet plan from Next Level Diet and started doing some exercises at home. My brother was making fun of me, thinking I will give up. But day after day, meal after meal, I managed to do it. I lost 90lbs thanks to my diet and dedication and I'm feeling a lot happier now. I can finally tie my shoelaces without holding my breath 😀
Tremendous respect for Chadwick for battling cancer while keeping a strong physique and Chris Pratt for losing so much weight and keeping it off. Goals!!
Kumail and chris pratt transformation is just jaw dropping Both are hilarious as well
It's steroids
you know they are on steroids right? its still impressive, but for sure steroids are involved
@@pantlesshobo2841 Kumail for sure is steroids because he has a friend on that show "Always Sunny in Philadelphia" who went through the exact same body transformation as him at the exact same time too. Gee what a coincidence? Think his friend is Rob McElhenney as I don't watch that show, did interviews where he teased he was taking steroid shots for his new body. Difference is that Rob eventually went back to his normal body while Kumail kept up the steroids.
The juice also helps. You cannot put on this kinda muscle in such a short amount of time without it.
Plebs in here thinking you can achieve this by not eating refined sugar and carbs. 90% are roiding and nobodys blaming them. It's just shitty to make people expect this kind of stuff from their workout
it's impossible. Sad the video is poorly researched.
True that....they won't say that to us but we know
I have to disagree, it is possible without juice.. You can't have full time 8-5 job, a family, 6-7 hrs of rest, no dietitian or personal trainer to get those gains or even maintain them..
Theses people get an entire day to work out with personal trainer, food prepped, and plenty of rest.. You don't need juice when you have money, time, and motivation..
I've been on a training journey myself. For the past two months, I've trained 5-6 times a week, for two hours a day. I'm not stopping, but the transformation is very satisfying. I went from having little to no muslce (kinda like Tom Holland in the thumbnail) to being very lean and decently built. If you're thinking about going on this journey, believe me, it's not easy, but anyone can do it. It takes motovation and hard work, but you can and you will.
Well said.

My weakness is not the effort for excersise or weight lifting. it is the food lol
I understand 😔
Yes, same here. I like my pastries!!! Getting me out of the house to the gym is hard but once I'm there I get started and I'm good.
kzhead.info/sun/dKZ_pdKmiqOspGg/bejne.html 😁
It is? But I can follow my diet easily for maintenance
The diet is where your results come from
Love Chris Evan's and Hemsworth's "before" photos. Both look amazing in them, and most of us only wish we could look as good as them on that level! 😆🤣
5:37 not trying to downplay what brie larson has accomplished and her amount of hardwork put in, but just to clarify, that is not a one arm pull-up. i dont exactly know what its called but this version of a pullup is definitely harder than a normal pullup and a one arm pullup is way way way harder. again, im not trying to criticise anyone.
i literally just finished writing a comment like this and scrolled to find someone saying it. Exatcly, its called chin up because she's with her hand turned to her, and she's holding her wrist with the other arm, its actually not hard to do it
Its an assisted 1 arm chin up and not a very clean one. Its still not easy...Not that many people can do a clean 1 arm pull up in this world.
ooohw yes other people who saw it. and indeed just a poor assisted one arm chinup. nothing to brag about
thank god people saw this ._. sad that this dude thought it was a one arm pullup ive been doing calisthenics for half a year and im not even close to a one arm pullup its hard ngl but not discrediting her she did great work in the time she was given
Exactly
Fabulous Physical Transformations 👌
When they can push a whole car i can't even lift a bag of groceries
It is ten times simpler for her to accomplish it 5:35. I've personally gone on a training expedition. I've been working out for two hours a day, five to six days a week for the past two months. Although the metamorphosis is really fulfilling, I won't quit. Shoutout to this channel! great work!
Sebastian stan's phisque is amazing.
I’m just realising how realistic Mantis is that it never struck me that there could be an actor playing her. Amazing work Pom Klementieff!
So I need to be cast in a Marvel movie so I can get into shape, got it.
take some PEDs and put in the exercise.
Well, if they provide us with the $$$ for these roles. They beat nutrition and training. We could look great to!
Nah, you need alot of roids, sleep, food and good training.
just use the same drugs and u will get there in notime friend, its not that hard
If they offered me $20-30m, to look like Capt America (my body type is the closest to his, just with like +20kg fat :D) in 1 year, probably i could do it without steroids, in theory. But to give up alcohol (which i seem like i cant :( ), and occasional fast food, im not sure if it would be possible. So yeah, steroids or not, its a huge sacrifice for them (which pays off, of course)
Chadwick was doing all those while battling cancer. We all miss him .love you Chadwick aka black panther 😔😔😔😭😭😭😭😭😭
holy crap! amazing determination and strength from all of them! wow! im so impressed!👏
You know lots of them took drugs because some of they bodies are impossible to get without it especially in a few months.
all use drugs bro. dont get to exited if u wanna do smt like this natural. its not possible in most cases.
Amazing video 👍
i praise brie for being an AMAZING captain marvel but i wish scar got the first movie since she was in the MCU way longer.... but either way, they both have amazing solo movies and im sure theyre both super proud of what their career has become
The human body is incredible, hard work and dedication awesome job friends. Mad respect

4:20 tom holland did work out for the role, he started years before even performing for the role
0:35 That is seriously scary. That is god level of physique :D
omg the amount of self control is INSANE. I'm like chips and cheese!
massive respect !!!
PEDs. We should probably discuss the percentage of actors using them. Before anyone complains, I'm not saying hard work isn't also involved, but PEDs make a BIG difference in how the body looks, performs, and recovers. People also need to know of the long term consequences of PEDs. People need to know what they are seeing (and often aspiring to attain) often isn't just clean eating and discipline.
I can’t help but think: it’s not so difficult to have this kind of commitment to fitness and health if it’s is your daily job AND you get professional help and support with every step. They just have to do precisely what they’re told to by their planner, dietist and trainer. I would be very impressed if they could get this result next to an office job of at least eight hours a day.
They all done amazingly 👏 The eating & is difficult & I know once I start to see 👀 the rewards you just wanna keep going
This has given me motivation to start working out! These are so inspiring!
dont get ur hopes up too much bud, they all use perfomance drugs. its like 90% of male actors who got thses typa bodys. its super common in hollywood and so actors like tom holland and thor use it. u can do good natrual. but not even close to what they are doing.
You should showcase Josh Brolin who was 50 while he bulked up and got in shape for Thanos. He, I'd argue, is as impressive as Hemsworth. Funny enough, the one who is the biggest and strongest didn't have to do much to look good because Banner is supposed to be sort of doughy. :)
I doubt that Hemsworth is natural, though (not just him, also Ninjiani and others). Nevertheless, whether he is or isn‘t, he out in the work and got amazing results.
@@valeaves Ninjiani for sure abused roids. His friend from "Always Sunny from Philadelphia" is the dead giveaway. All the Chris's are suspect too. I'm suspect of Paul Rudd as well. Tom Holland might actually be natural considering what he can perform and he's in the right age range too. The only ones we can say for sure are nattys though are the women since their bodies are figures that can easily obtained naturally. Kind of funny too that a natty (Brie Larson) has demonstrated the most physical strength among the cast on camera. EDIT: I do agree though that at least Hemsworth we saw trained hard and we can see the results. Not like say WWE pre-2010s where tons of dudes had muscles bigger than the Chris's, but many of their physical abilities on camera were garbage ex they had terrible stamina, had issues performing lifts you think should've been easy for them, etc.
Robert downey jr still acts like ironman in real life, I sorta expected kung fu 😘😍
respect for their dedication tho. 💓😍😍🔥🔥🔥
respect. bro this is crazy
Me just now realizing how buff chris Hemsworth is
Tbh i think its a good thing that they had to workout to achieve these roles, they deserved it and now they like themselves more than before
steroids
I love what you do
Everyone gave best of their efforts and we like them all .
You may have asked yourself, "Once they're in such shape, why don't they just keep up with it once they hit their goal? Once you get there, maintaining is easier than starting over every time." True but, Unfortunately, actors have to change physiques for movies. Which is pretty sad that others dictate what kind of physique you have to have to be in a movie. There's such extremes at times. It can be dangerous, even. But, when you're a serious actor and, especially younger as most of them were when they started these roles, they're willing to make the sacrifice. Achieving that super, ripped, look with the abs is hell to achieve. The work is intense. So, kudos to all of them willing to make the sacrifices to entertain us. Being an actor's not all fun and games. And, we sure aren't complaining when we see them shirtless or, in tights. Kudos to all of them willing to make the sacrifices to entertain us. P.S. God, they are so right about the bland diet!
Who says achieving it is the hard part ? Everyone in the fitness community would say Maintaining is the hardest
Maintaining 8% of body fat is fucking hard :D
To be honest, they probably don't want to be on ped's forever.
@@syp123 I know. I was a part of that community. By maintain, I meant the mass, not the low-percentage, body fat. Sure, I slacked on diet at times but, not the weight-training. Once I hit an acceptable size, I just maintained it by continuing what I had been doing.
bro u realise tehy all use performance drugs right? its still alot of work but almost noone of thses actors do it natrual, some are even forced to do it to get fit in time
Chris is literatlly Thor in real life
They are all amazing actors and have amazing bodies and skills.
I respect for their effort
The things: *doesn't add Chris Evans* Everyone: impossible
Because he became strong in few minutes by super soldier serum
I doubt those transformations are only effort and sports...I do not question the amount of exercises put into that, but I higlhy doubt they do not add some special cocktails to the mix.
Training like celebirties won't make you look like them but it WILL make you better. A lot of people posting things like "the dark side of celebrity physical transformation" and say it's all steroid. You might need to taper your expectation a little bit, but not need to discourage people from getting better.
@@oscarshen6855 But it is important to say, as many people will get unrealistic body standards.
No drugs u are clueless to think so
This video is making me want to make sure my body is awesome for summer
Yes effort and work , good !!!
Amazing how much they work out but I really hate it when they're told to dehydrate, that effects more than just their superficial looks
Also helps they’re getting paid to workout like this with a professional trainer and all, it’s literally a win win situation getting money and attention)
And not having a fulltime job at the side to pay the bills. Having the time for several hours a day/ per week going to the gym is not something the common (wo)man can afford.
fricking amzing
Respect achieved
David harbour definitely has the best work out routine lol
🤣
So .. basically I have to get a Marvel part to get in shape.
"The late Chad Boseman..." A tear just rolled down... 😢
Fantastic
Mark Ruffallo painted his skin green and ate 20k calories everyday for his role as Hulk
i am 16 year old teen and i have been going to gym past 2 years non stop and i actually got some abs and really fit docters said my body fat is 14 percent which is very impressive it wasnt easy u need so much motivation to do it trust me and its not worth it enjoy with ur family and peace
Loving memory in Chadwick😢😢❤.
Nice video and Information. Good for Timepass
Bro Eric Johnson is lucky he is Scarlett Johansson’s trainer 😭
no cap she's literally a goddess
All of their training is like a movie in itself

Tobey Maguire did so much
Respect for all 👏👏👏
Sometimes you need to do everything for your job
💪 hard work pays off
And the few steroids' here and there
This is for people who think that acting is not a real job...
Having a personal trainer and your meals prepped for you also helps. 😉
@@jzh8499 honestly, i would still be too lazy 😂😂
And using peds

I appreciate your efforts and it is a funny joke.
Marvel Characters & Marvel Actors.
Man this is so encouraging 😂😂😂
This is inspiring
R.I.P “wakanda forever”😢
Why are you sad
Without a doubt Chris Evans had the biggest transformation!
He’s the literal love Of my life 😂❤
It's amazing what proper diet, exercise and dbal will do for you.
The list is good but Hugh Jackman should be number one followed by the rock for his work preparing to work in the Hercules movie. His work program for wolverine was the most intense ever.
Plus…steroids.
Tom Holland is who I like to be someday After the Halloween remains are finished, then I work on improving myself. Still, I'm working out @ The YMCA by putting 5 lbs up every 2 weeks.
Cool!
Good video
When my mother finds out. She's taking me to the casting. Only for purely sporting reasons 😂
Seriously. Nobody gonna mention steroid use? Anyone that has been into fitness for just a little bit can tell most of these transformations are not achievable naturally. Its like saying the Rock is natural. Im not saying these transformations are not impressive, but acting like they are achievable naturally is just misleading, and makes natural results anybody might get seem disappointing. Not saying the actors are at fault, they probably wouldnt get the roles if they were open about PED use and theyve got inmense pressure to look like that, after all theyre supposed to be superheroes, I'd also lie about PED use if I made the millions they make in exchange, but don't get your hopes up. Real results take time, you're not gonna look like Kumail after 1 year of training, no matter how much chicken broccoli and rice you eat. If this interests anyone look up greg doucette, he has some good videos on the topic.
Finally... somebody speaking for the truth.
exactly... actors would always say Chicken Breast and Rice and Broccoli... training every week... which can be very misleading. Actors like Chris Hemsworth gaining bodybuilder's type of physique in under a year or two which would take a true natural athlete over 5 years... still they work hard but they really shouldn't be giving advices out of the blue
Some of them even sell workouts and people think if they follow it they will get they unnatural body in a few moths but the programs talk nothing about taking this amount of steroids'/peds.
@@escobarfedmedrugs3281 Chris Hemsworth has always been in good shape though
@@charlesludwig8672 never said he wasn't in good shape. My point was that before Thor he mostly had a lean physique (there's a pic that compares his 2009 and 2010 physique where the difference is huge)... if an average person with a lean physique were to go through the same process of transformation it would take them over 5 or so years to get a bodybuilder type of physique (even with good genetics it'll be terribly difficult to transform like Chris Hemsworth in under a year or so, naturally). Not trying to take anything away from his hardwork, he's a great actor... but i highly doubt he achieved this naturally
Nice 👍
RIP Chadwick bosman you will be loved and respected
That one arm pull up is the easiest thing when ur actually holding ur arm… anyone can do it easily
yeah its not really a onearm pullup its a normal pullup with a different grip essentially haha
Thor has the best body fitness 💪💪💪 And he is my favourite also 🔥🔥🔥
Omg they worked so hard
Very nice
Shall we mention the steroid use or just make young people think most of this is attainable by eating chicken and working out 5 days a week? I'm not against steroids and it still takes graft with or without steroids, but don't make out like Robert Downey Jr put on 28lb of muscle mass at his age without supps
100% i do think its getting a bit ridiculous that actors and sites never talk about it and make people aware instead of having it be this scary boogy man
Plebs in here thinking you can achieve this by not eating refined sugar and carbs. 90% are roiding and nobodys blaming them. It's just shitty to make people expect this kind of stuff from their workout
True. Chris Evans already got all of his newbie gains from Human Torch, then suddenly gets bigger and stronger with age. Either he's a genetic freak or on hrt or something.
@@DanzoSrife just the basic stuff, you know, dbol, test
You are 100% correct ! There is no way you body can sustain such different changes so quickly . Specially hearing "training for 3 -4 hours a day " I mean wtf ! Of course they are using steroids , stronger or less but they are ! I mean look at Dwayne Johnson , most of people still believes that he's Natural 🤣
Why didn't you mention the physical transformation the Agents of Shield cast had to go thru. Chloe Bennet was a skinny little girl when she started. But by season 2 she trained in Kickboxing and other martial arts forms and put on muscle to look the part of Daisy Johnson.
Chadwick is no more in the world but he always have a place in our heart😭😭😭😭😭
Chris Pratt great job bro
I wonder if Tom Holland can do a front lever or full planche. I wouldn't be surprised
Mark Ruffalo be like I am the fittest person
He don‘t need it. Hulk has the abs and the muscles xD
Chris Hemsworth is a legend
I know right Respect Respect 👌👌👌
Damn! Wasn't aware how fit Brie Larson actually is.
Brie and Tom Holland were easily the two cast members who felt the need to prove themselves considering all the crazy things they were shown to perform on camera. Actually Tom is still trying to prove himself but as an actor now as he's desperately been taking roles to prove he's more than just Spiderman.
