Taking on the role of Hercules required far more than just acting skills.
And Kellan Lutz certainly got physical to play the Greek god, packing on 20lbs of muscle for the film, according to reports.
It is said that Kellan spent hours in sword training every day in the run-up to filming, along with close combat and horse riding lessons to perform elaborate stunts for the blockbuster.
The movie, which is directed by Renny Harlin, is scheduled to hit cinemas in 2014.
