    Wow, he has been eating 6000 calories a day and working out to be properly beefy for filming.  The shoot must be coming soon.

    Have you seen the muscles on him? I'd say he's quite bulky.

    Yes.  The film is being directed by Darron Aronofsky, who is best known as the guy behind Pi, Requiem for a Dream, The Fountain (which also starred Jackman), and recent critical successes like The Wrestler and Black Swan.  Supposedly, the story is focusing on Logan and Mariko, and the main villain is going to be Silver Samurai. 
     
    I...cannot...WAIT...for this movie.

    Actually, he's closer to 300 lbs with the adamantium skeleton.

    Wolverine is a muscular character. Always has been, with a few exceptions. The first image is from his first appearance

    Did you know that   Darron Aronofsky was gonna direct Batman Begins before Nolan? The reason they went with Nolan was because   Darron Aronofsky's story was "too dark" for WB. Now he's making a Wolverine movie. Go figure.

    @ebuchanan:  The 195 lbs is without the Adamantium. He is 300lbs with the Adamantium.

    Look at Coipel's rendition of him. I think that's the best recent rendering that actually looks like he's supposed to. He's supposed to be a short, angry little bitter ball of metal and arm hair. But then again, he's Canadian ;) 
     BTW, I'm french canadian, that's not an insult.
