First Look at Mitch Rapp

Dylan looks gorgeous in that photo! The first day I saw it I was literally overheating while looking at it.

he seems to be getting a lot of muscle

He does have decent muscle tone but he still overall looks lean, which is perfect for Mitch in American Assassin. He's supposed to be a very attractive, very athletic, 23 year old. They made the perfect decision in casting DOB in my opinion.

isn't he supposed to be of an average fitness?

I wouldn't say he's supposed to be of average fitness. Mitch is highly athletic, so a little above average fitness is required, which Dylan has. He's not exactly buff, but he certainly has a visible strength to him. Actually, I've noticed that some fans of the books are saying he looks too small and overly pretty to be Mitch Rapp. They think he needs to gain at least 20-30 pounds and have a more rugged face. But based on the descriptions from American Assassin, which I'm currently reading, they're wrong.

i mean, i really like it but aren't they doing it to also attract girls instead of just the men that usually go for these type of movies?

They are definitely going after women with their choice, which is smart in my opinion. It's reasonable to assume that if the trailer looks good, men will go see this film because of the subject matter. So the production team are probably assuming they will automatically have a high male viewership, which seems very likely. By casting DOB they are all but guaranteeing a much higher than expected female viewership. Especially if he looks as good in the trailers as he does in that picture.
