Desde Hollywood was invited to interview Kellan Lutz (The Twilight Saga, Java Heat, The Expendables 3) for his first big movie as the main protagonist, “The Legend of Hercules” (in theaters Jan. 10). I talked to the actor about playing one of the first “super heroes”, bulking up for the role, adding more mythological creatures in an eventual sequel and more.

“In the epic origin story THE LEGEND OF HERCULES, Kellan Lutz stars as the mythical Greek hero — the son of Zeus, a half-god, half-man blessed with extraordinary strength. Betrayed by his stepfather, the King, and exiled and sold into slavery because of a forbidden love, Hercules must use his formidable powers to fight his way back to his rightful kingdom. Through harrowing battles and gladiator-arena death matches, Hercules embarks on a legendary odyssey to overthrow the King and restore peace to the land.”

“The Legend of Hercules” hits theaters nationwide on January 10, 2014.
