Trivia

When Kellan Lutz first landed the role, he said that physique-wise he wanted to get really big to portray Hercules. But director Renny Harlin told him not to get any bigger as he found it very stereotypical for Hercules to be "a pile of meat", he instead instructed Lutz to "get his abs to pop out more" as he thought it would be a great effect in 3D. So Kellan Lutz adopted a special Paleo (caveman) diet for the role ensuring that no fat accumulated on his body and that his abs visibly popped throughout principal photography.

This is the second Greek Myth movie to star Kellen Lutz. The first was "Immortals" where Lutz portrayed Hercules' uncle, Poseidon.

Renny Harlin said that he chose Scott Adkins for the role of King Amphitryon because of "his acting skills, his incredible physical ability and his incredible physique". He said that King Amphitryon "had to be the biggest badass the audience had ever seen and only Scott Adkins fit that bill".
