10 Actors Who Got SERIOUSLY Ripped To Play Superheroes

1. Jai Courtney (Suicide Squad)

And finally, we have a lesser-known superhero - or rather, supervillain - whose insanely cut physique is well worth applauding. Say what you will about Jai Courtney as an actor, but the guy was perfectly cast as Suicide Squad's boorish thug Captain Boomerang, and despite the character's clear love for chugging cans of Fosters, Courtney decided to give him a Thor-worthy build regardless.

After dropping almost 30 pounds for Terminator Genisys (ha!), Courtney had to quickly regain 30 pounds of muscle, which he achieved through Olympic-level lifting, intense circuit training and eating an unfathomable amount of meat and other proteins.

Though Boomerang doesn't spend much of the movie with his shirt off, the results are nevertheless incredible, and you sure can't fault the actor's commitment to the part.

Which of these musclebound superhero transformations impressed you the most? Shout it out in the comments!
