A Marvel fan collated images of celebrities before and after they got to play their fierce superhero roles, and the difference in their bodies is impressive. Of course, the path to getting a unique and appealing body is not easy, and it takes a lot of hard work, but the pay that comes after it is really worth the time and effort.

There have been occasions when we may have seen ourselves as a budding star who could hardly portray the lead role of the hero or heroine with a bit of chance and a little help learning the lines. However, as any actor will tell you, it's a career that takes a great deal of skill and hell lot of dedication.

It generally goes beyond just sliding into character and delivering a few lines here and there while wearing make-up or the heave costumes and, in this case, no costume at all. Traning day and night for that perfect structure to suit the role with heavy and timely work sessions, changing eating habits, sleeping schedule, and a lot more.

Would you be able to bring such a vast difference to your body? Perhaps the below-mentioned actors did and went under a massive transformation to achieve that perfect look to suit the role they played on screen.

All their hard work paid well because all of these characters were loved by the audience and received immense love and appreciation, and well, they deserve it all!

1. Kumail Nanjiani for playing Kingo in The Eternals

Nanjiani went through rigorous exercises five days a week and focused on bulking up. Roberts used a combination of modern and ancient approaches, including electronic muscle stimulation and the Power Plate, a vibrating platform that dynamically targets each section of the body.

2. Robert Downey Jr. when he got approved for The Iron Man

Downey generally incorporates the Wing Chun skill into his everyday regimen and consumes 5,000 calories per day while working out with Bose, his trainer. His routines included band squats, hamstring curls, leg presses, and more, which got him the perfect body for the role.

3. Mark Ruffalo in the humungous role of Hulk

The studio's visual effects artists entirely handled the Hulk's part, and he was required to spend 90% of his time in a goofy-looking mocap costume with white spots painted all over his face. So he didn't need to be in perfect shape; however, audiences adored him just the same.

4. Chris Evans before and after the role in Captain America

Evans trained for three months, four to five days a week, for two hours a day, focusing on two muscle groups per session. While working on Civil War, Waterson Evan's personal trainer assisted him in reducing his body fat to 8%.

5. Chris Hemsworth when he landed the part of Thor

Zocchi, Chris's trainer and childhood friend, helped Chris bulk up for Thor in just a few months before standing in front of the cameras. He loves kickbox, so it was incorporated into his training and moves like bear crawls and dynamic crunches.

6. Late Chadwick Boseman for the wonderful performance in Black Panther

Boseman had martial arts training before and worked out with his personal trainer for up to four hours and followed a muscle-building two-day training schedule that focused on his chest, arms, shoulders, and triceps. Chadwick put in all this hard work while he was battling cancer.

7. Jeremy Renner's transformation for Hawkeye

Renner perfected his skills by training under Olympic archers. He has a short routine to heat up before the director calls to action; he extends his arms and stretches; he literally stretches, ensuring he has good blood flow throughout his body.

8. Chris Pratt for the amazing role in Guardians of the Galaxy

Pratt followed a very well eating plan and a rigorous training program devised by personal trainer Duffy Gaver. Pratt trained for five months with about six sessions per week. Pratt would undertake extra workouts on his own, including P90X sessions, running, swimming, and boxing.

9. Paul Rudd is coming back as Ant Man once again.

Rudd underwent a 3-part circuit exercise to focus on his chest, biceps, and abs, including 5 rounds with 15 reps of Smith Machine Incline Press, EZ-Bar Curl, and Hanging Knee Raises of 25 reps. Apart from that, he also followed a stringent diet plan.

These men trained themselves day and night to achieve the desired look or body type to do real justice to their characters in the movie. We saw the outcome on screen, but now we know the hard work required for the perfect result.
