they

remodeled their lives and careers until they became Robert Downey Jr. He may very well have one of the best comeback stories in Hollywood history.

His career began in the mid-'80s with a less-than-successful stint on SNL. Fortunately, things looked up for Downey Jr. when he appeared in a series of hit teen movies, such as Weird Science and The Pick Up Artists, after these more comedic roles, he ended up making the move into a more dramatic film. His role in the film Chaplin even earned him an Academy Award nomination, but in the mid-1990s, things began to fall apart, his struggle with drug addiction came to the fore and his career suffered significantly. Setbacks, he was in and out of prison and, despite a successful stint on the hit TV show Ally McBeal Downey Jr.

It seemed like he couldn't fix things, fortunately, at the turn of the century he began to fix things again, working double time to ensure a full recovery from his chaotic and damaging lifestyle. At first it was a struggle that very few people would hire. Downey Jr. due to insurance obligations, but when Jon Favreau pressured Marvel Studios to cast him in the role of Tony Stark, the studio took a chance on the world, it's never been the same playing a beloved superhero that also gave Downey jr. the opportunity to grow even further by emphasizing his new, healthier lifestyle, he went from a scrawny member of John Hughes' pack of brats to the kind of man who loves to show off his gloriously muscular form while hammering metal into our hero, while That Chris Pratt's personal life fortunately never mirrored the trials and tribulations of Robert Downey Junior 'He's Pratt still underwent some significant changes once he was cast as Peter Quill aka Star-Lord in Guardians of the Galaxy Star-Lord James Gunn who, but many fans will remember Pratt's time as Andy Dwyer on the hilarious Parks and Recreation series Andy was a little dim-witted and absent-minded and maintained an adorable teddy bear manner and demeanor;

He was not Pratt's natural size and weight, but he maintained it throughout the series to transform into the star lord. Pratt trained tirelessly. for three or four hours a day to shape and tone his body, from the doughy Andy to the muscular star Mr. Pratt. His time on Parks and Rec resulted in audiences associating him with the goofball-type character if he was expected to be able to deliver a more serious acting appearance, but even though Peter Quill's character skews the comedic guardians of the galaxy, gave Pratt many more dramatic beats to perform, he is now one of Hollywood's leading men and all thanks to those incredible dance moves.

Nevins' career did not begin. that different Lee from Downey jr. and Pratt, made his breakthrough in the teen comedy Not Another Teen Movie before making his first foray into the world of Marvel, although the Fantastic Four and the Fantastic Rise of the Silver Surfer might not have been great, but Evans was a being. Pretty solid human. When his first stint as a superhero failed, he tried something more dramatic by starring in films like Danny Boyle's sci-fi film Sunshine. Evans gave a fantastic comedic turn in Edgar Wright's Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, but his second attempt to join the Marvel ranks ended up being much more successful.

Evans' turn, as Steve Rogers has become one of the most beloved Marvel cinematic universes and it's not difficult to understand why Evans imbues the role with genuine humanity and sincerity. It doesn't hurt that he fills out that suit. Well, it's not like he's ever desperately needed to lose 60 pounds like fellow Chris Chris Pratt, but when Steve emerges from that pod totally transformed, it's hard not to murmur an audible Keanu Reeves inspiration and we'd be remiss if we omitted to mention the final Chris in The MCU Equation Chris Hemsworth, the God of Thunder, Unlike the other Chrises on our list, Hemsworth was relatively unknown when he first appeared in 2011's Thor.

His biggest role up to that point had been Star's first film JJ Abrams' Trek where he played Captain Kirk's father, George Kirk Hemsworth was already in good shape, but still needed to prepare to take on the role he trained under the former Navy SEAL. Duffy gave him the same trainer that Chris Pratt ended up using to get in shape. In the galaxy, they spent most of his training focusing on Hemsworth's arms and shoulders, probably to make sure he was worthy of wielding Mjolnir. All of you are not worthy. Hemsworth ended up gaining 20 pounds for the role and has maintained that appearance for most of his career. pretty good, with the exception of fat Thor, who's pretty cool with the dudes, let's give the ladies a little time to shine before being cast as Carol Danvers aka Captain Marvel, Brie Larson had established herself as one of Hollywood's most impressive young talents in which he appeared. films like Edgar Wright's Scott Pilgrim vs. the world destined for Daniel in short order 12 her biggest breakthrough came in 2015's Room, the performance earned her her first Oscar for Best Actress, it wasn't a big surprise when Marvel Studios cast Larson for the coveted role of Carol Danvers, her talent is undeniable.

It was also no big surprise that Larson engaged in an intense training regimen to get her into superhero shape. Luckily for us, she ended up posting lots of photos and videos of her training time on her social media accounts. One of his routines involved pushing a nearly 5 thousand pound jeep for a full minute, another involved weighted push-ups where he wore a heavy chain on his back while doing push-ups, of course there were the standard hip thrusts, lunges and pull-ups. but honestly, the whole car thing has us very impressed, as you can certainly see in the movie that all that hard work paid off, although we're more than disappointed that there wasn't a scene where Captain Marvel push a car uphill.

One of the craziest transformations we've seen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is that of comedian/writer/actor Kumail Nanjiani. When he posted a photo of his new physique on his Instagram in late December, some thought it was photoshopped twists. It was discovered that he was real and Nanjiani was preparing for the role of him in the Marvel movie Eternals. He said, "I never thought I'd be one of those people who would post Nanjiani thirsty and shirtless," he said in the caption of the photo, but I've also worked. hard for too long, so here we are, he's a stark contrast to the Kemal Nanjiani that people have come to know and love for his work in movies like The Fake Sick and TV shows like Silicon Valley, so how exactly did he turn out? your new appearance?

It was a year of dedicated training with some of the best trainers and nutritionists Marvel Studios could buy, so just think, dear viewer, you too could look like Mr. Nanjiani, it's as easy as getting Marvel to hire you for one of your upcoming MCU movies, you'll be the healthier version of yourself you've always wanted to be, and since we've covered the topic of skinny comedians turned muscular superheroes, let's talk. a little about Paul Rudd's transformation Rudd's career began in the mid-90s with roles in Clueless and Halloween, the curse of michael myers.slc through Carell and Jonah Hill, his glorious mustache became when Brian Fantana confirmed the Rudd's status as one of the funniest human beings. on the planet, his likable everyman quality made him the perfect candidate for Scott Lang and Marvel's Ant-Man.

I think our first step would be to

call

in the Avengers, but would that everyman quality translate into a muscle-bound superhero form? The public would be pleasantly surprised, by 2050. When Ant-Man discovered that the 45-year-old actor had worked out at the gym in an interview with Men's Journal, Rod explained that I was one of those people who always wanted the results but never wanted to push himself. for Ant-Man and The Wasp Rudd went even further. He started each day with an hour of cardio, then breakfast and weights. He would do a second round of cardio three times a week for half an hour, so he stops making excuses and get to work.

Leave your computer. Get out there and exercise, but make sure you finish this video first. We are almost done. Last but not least in the least, the king of Wakanda, Mr. Chadwick Boseman himself, before receiving the call to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Bozeman had established himself as a major talent with performances such as Jackie Robinson and 42 and James Brown. He came to play chala in the character's first appearance in the MCU, Captain America Civil War. Bozeman is already off to a good start. It also didn't hurt that he already had martial arts experience to ensure he met the Black Panthers' physical standards.

Bozeman worked. Four extra hours a day with his personal trainer Addison Henderson, especially inspired by Christopher Prease's Black Panther Run. Henderson took great care and made sure that Bozeman matched the characters in the Bezique comic and that he didn't become too bulky, it was important. To make T'Challa appear agile and quick on his feet, we rarely stopped moving during our sessions. Henderson explained to Men's Journal. We train as if we were going to the fight of our lives.
