Every summer, a slew of action movies scissor-kick their way into theaters, and every year, most of them end up being largely unwatchable. The only thing that saves them is the carousel of professionally attractive actors onscreen. This year many of the lead and supporting roles are played by relative newbies. Somehow none of them are named Chris.

Because you're unlikely to see every movie on this list, here's a handy guide to this summer's new crop of action movie beefcakes/sex idiots. Though you may not know their names now, in a few years these dudes will likely be the next Oscar Isaacs, Idris Elbas, and Michael Bae Jordans. Study up accordingly.
