Judging by The Tomorrow War trailer, this is why J.K. Simmons got so ripped
J.K. Simmons joins the fight in the final The Tomorrow War trailer
Way back in 2016, photos of J.K. Simmons, with veins exploding from his biceps, working a pair of dumbbells sent the Internet into a tailspin. Fainting couches across the nation were littered with people suffering from a major touch of the vapors. Many assumed, understandably, that the workout regiment was in preparation for Justice League, a movie in which we never see Simmons pecks, delts, or tris. Covered head-to-toe in drab office wear as Commissioner Gordon, audiences rebelled against the film, leading to poor reviews, underwhelming box office, the Snyder Cut, etc.—or, at least, that’s how I remember it.
It turns out all those pushups weren’t to lift a bloody log off Batman’s broken body. They were in service of The Tomorrow War. Perhaps using some of the technology from the film’s time-traveling plot, and judging by those traps of his, Simmons is looking, pardon my French, jacked as fuck in the final trailer for The Tomorrow War. Simmons plays Chris Pratt’s estranged father, who helps him fight some future bugs in the future after being enlisted to go fight the bugs in the past. Again, it’s a time travel thing.
