Chris Hemsworth
Thor, the God of Thunder, wasn’t cast by random Hollywood executives. It is practically impossible to picture anyone else playing the mythological Norse god than Chris Hemsworth. The Australian actor used MMA to build up and lose weight in order to play the Marvel character.
The sparring practice videos Chris has posted to Instagram show that he is pretty skilled at it. The Avengers: Endgame actor put up a battle against his trainer, Luke Zocchi, using outstanding jabbing techniques, and even received accolades from UFC fighters like Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone and Max Holloway.

Donnie Yen
Ip Man, the 2008 instant classic biography of Bruce Lee’s mentor, is the most significant and well-known effort by Hong Kong heartthrob and multi-talented mixed martial artist Yen. Wing chun, a close-quarters fighting technique that emphasizes deflections, blocks, and short-arm blows, became more well-known as a result. Even more remarkable when you take into account how quickly Yen picked up the technique—just nine months.
