1. Greg Plitt - Doc Manhattan - Watchmen (He's an actual fitness model/body builder so its no surprise that he had the best physique of all)
2. Hugh Jackman - Wolverine - X-Men: Days of Future Past (gotta give it to him after DOFP though he was already angling for this spot after The Wolverine, shredded like a body-builder really)
3. Gerard Butler - King Leonidas - 300 (Looked and acted like a superhero. Crucially raised the bar in 2007 to what action heroes should aim for physically - outstanding aesthetics)
4. Henry Cavill - Superman - Man Of Steel (a true transformation, he was a slim guy before, now is a big dude, got big AND ultra cut for Superman, again with great aesthetics)
5. Hrithik Roshan - Krrish - Krrish 3 (Indian superhero, look him up, lame films and superhero but trumps most of Hollywood in the gym department, outstanding results)
6. Stephen Amell - Arrow - Arrow (very shredded and the muscle ain't just for showing off, can do all sorts of gymnastics)
7. Chris Pratt - Star Lord - Guardians Of The Galaxy (check out of the comic con trailer, looks insanely buff and cut, and a fella who was a fatass before!)
8. Chris Evans - Captain America - Captain America: The First Avenger (really packed on the upper body, and looked mighty huge)
9. Chris Hemsworth - Thor - Thor: The Dark World (great results obviously, but slightly low on aesthetics and just going for size, looks too gym perfected)
10. Ryan Reynolds - Green Lantern - Green Lantern (horrible performance but good form, like Hemsworth, very obviously textbook gym toned physique)

Moral of the story: Land a lead role in a Snyder film to have one of a truly great physique.

There'e like 5-6 years between those 2 photos. So this isn't a great transformation photo analogy. He actually shot A Perfect Getaway before Thor and he was already buff big in that one. So not that big of a transformation.

What was also impressive was how he when from being ripped in SM1 straight to jockey-size skinny in Seabiscuit, then back to being ripped for SM2. Again, all on tofu.

What is interesting is that some people now retroactively criticize the original trilogy for having Spider-Man be too muscular, and now embrace the lean Ultimate look of Andrew Garfield in TASM. I kind of see where they're coming from.

Also impressive is how jacked Aaron Taylor-Johnson got for Kick-Ass 2 as well as Chris Pratt for GOTG, considering each guy's starting point.

Tobey got in great shape for SM1, but he really wasn't in the best shape for SM2, though it wasn't really his fault. He severely injured his back (to the point where he wasn't sure if he could be in the film, and also what prompted the "My back" joke in SM2) so I wouldn't really say he got back to being ripped again in SM2. There's a reason we never see a close up of him with his shirt off in that film.
