Hot, Hot, Hot: 2012's Summer Movie Beefcakes

It’s summer movie season again, and you know what that means … more explosions, more fast-food tie-ins, and more chances for Will Smith to save the world.

Yes, that’s right: Another year, another class of crush-worthy leading men. While some of this year’s stars—like Tom Cruise and Ben Stiller—need no introduction, a few are bursting onto the summer scene for the first time. Don’t know these soon-to-be-famous faces? You will soon.
