Kit Harington in Spooks: The Greater Good

KIT HARINGTON AS WILL HOLLOWAY (SPOOKS: THE GREATER GOOD - 2015)

Everyone knows Kit Harington as the mighty Jon Snow from Game Of Thrones, but seeing him in Spooks: The Greater Good was a real eye opener. Saving Britain and STILL looking good whilst doing it, doesn't get much better than that. As rogue MI5 agent Will Holloway, he is asked to return to the MI5 for one last mission, which made us all realise that Harington can fight, shoot, jump out of windows, climb buildings and he's a nifty computer hacker too. No wonder SPY shares the same amount of letters as HOT.

VIGGO MORTENSEN AS ARAGORN (THE LORD OF THE RINGS - 2001)

Everyone loves a story where the hero takes up his rightful spot on the throne and reigns over your heart. Viggo Mortensen plays Aragorn, the 87-year-old ranger turned king in The Lord of the Rings trilogy. In the first film Aragorn helps lead the members of the fellowship of the ring to Mount Doom to destroy the One Ring. Along the way he brilliantly takes down armies of Orcs and other ghastly characters doing it all with wisdom and grace. Mortensen's character is the epitome of sexy and smart!

ORLANDO BLOOM AS WILL TURNER (PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN - 2003)

Orlando Bloom is without a doubt one of the most gorgeous men to grace the green earth, but his performance as Will Turner in Pirates of the Caribbean broke the hottie scale. Bloom plays the innocent and hard-working blacksmith, Will, who quests on an adventure of fighting pirates (and eventually becoming one) after the kidnapping of his big-time crush, Elizabeth Swan (so jealous). Orlando can rescue us wearing that hat any day.

ROBERT PATTINSON AS EDWARD CULLEN (TWILIGHT - 2008)

Robert Pattinson devoured his audience as the vampire Edward Cullen in the Twilight Saga. Twilight tells the story of the forbidden love between Edward and human, Bella, and the many trials they overcome to be together. Pattinson's character would do anything for the one he loves (dreamy, right?!), which makes this story particularly popular with the ladies. Apparently dating a vampire isn't such a bad idea. Sign me up!

HUGH JACKMAN AS WOLVERINE (X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE - 2009)

Hugh Jackman can rip into anyone's heart with this performance as the tormented and gorgeous Wolverine. Jackman plays Logan AKA Wolverine, an immortal mutant who battles enemies as often as he battles the fight within himself. Some may even call his character a tortured soul, but the only souls tortured are those who see his rock-hard abs onscreen.

CHRIS HEMSWORTH AS THOR (THOR - 2011)

Chris Hemsworth throws down the hammer of love as Thor. This Aussie actor can best be described as the world's hunkiest superhero. Thor was exiled to earth from his home planet of Asgard, and we are not giving him back. In the film, he succeeds in overpowering his adopted brother, Loki, who is trying to take the throne of Asgard, which Thor is in line for. But who can blame Loki? If he was my brother, I'd have jealousy issues too!

DANIEL CRAIG AS JAMES BOND (SKYFALL - 2012)

"Bond, James Bond", a three-word phrase that means the world's sexiest secret agent has arrived. Daniel Craig returns to the screen as the impenetrable 007 in Skyfall. As Bond, Craig effortlessly gains the affection of the most beautiful women while simultaneously taking out the bad guys with his wit and unmatchable combat skills. Come on, Craig, you don't need the gun; you can kill the villains with your sharp looks and charm.

HENRY CAVILL AS SUPERMAN (MAN OF STEEL - 2013)

Who doesn't love a man with gorgeous blue eyes, slick black hair, muscular build and a spandex form-fitting suit? The answer is no one. Cavill doubles as the seemingly innocent and harmless, Clark Kent, and transforms into the world-saving, crime-stopping Superman when duty calls. But what human to superhero transformation would be complete without a famous ripping-off-the-shirt-to-expose-the-suit-underneath trick (swoon). He perfectly embodies the role of Superman: Man of Steel (your heart) in every form. Henry Cavill is the kryptonite that makes every girl weak at the knees.

CHRIS PRATT AS OWEN GRADY (JURASSIC WORLD - 2015)

We watched this stud emerge from the adorable Andy Dwyer in Parks and Recreation to the smoking hot Owen Grady in Jurassic World. His incredible transformation has made Pratt one of the hottest film heroes of all time. In the fourth and most recent instalment to the Jurassic Park franchise you can watch Pratt train velociraptors and defend the park from the genetically mutated Indominus Rex dinosaur-probably with a lot of help from his muscular arms.

Spooks: The Greater Good is available on Blu-ray and DVD from 28th September 2015, courtesy of Entertainment One
