To play the role of a superhero on the big screen, most actors go through really significant changes in their habits and even their looks. It is no coincidence that many of them need to undergo a series of intense workouts to reach the “ideal body” to perfectly perform a certain function.

Still, anyone who sees them already dressed and ready to play superheroes after all these transformations may have a hard time imagining what they were like at the beginning of their careers.

Today, they display all the elegance and beauty that any Hollywood celebrity has, but in the past, these actors were just beginning a fruitful career.

So brings you the before and after of some of the actors who gave life to the most famous superheroes on the screen. You will see how much they have changed below.
