In the world of superhero movies, fitness is absolutely everything. Over the last few decades of Hollywood history, some of the biggest names in the genre have detailed how much physical work is required to perform in the action films and do justice to the characters that grace the pages of the mot popular comic books.
Just in recent memory, studios like Marvel have both pursued actors that already have incredible fitness and athletic skills like Tom Holland (Spider-Man) while also allowing time for other actors like Chris Pratt (Star Lord) to achieve the same incredible physical build . The DC Extended Universe is currently working on multiple new projects that will introduce new big-name actors to the franchise, and one of these actors recently shed some light on his own process to grow into his new role as a superhero.
