Kellan Lutz had many scars that had to be added, thanks to the makeup magic of Hollywood, for his role as the title character in The Legend of Hercules. But, then again, Lutz also had scars from making the action movie that he is more than willing to share with audiences in a new behind-the-scenes featurette released by Summit Entertainment.

Lutz (stay with Movie Fanatic for our exclusive video interview with the former Twilight Saga heartthrob January 7) plays the mythological hero in an origins story that could easily set up the star for a franchise all his own.

Check out The Legend of Hercules trailer, and get ready for the film to land in theaters in 3D January 10.
