Kellan Lutz Is an Ab-tastic Hercules in These Pictures

We all remember Kellan Lutz from his breakthrough role as Edward's brother in Twilight, but now he's going from vampire to divine hero. Lutz plays Hercules himself in The Legend of Hercules, a new origin story that follows his journey from mortal to demigod, opening this week. We've already seen those muscles on display in the Legend of Hercules trailer, but now we've got a better look at the film with a batch of pictures from the epic adventure — and, yes, a closer look at those abs.
